Description: AFM ERTi-5ELI alloy is a slightly purer version of ERTi-5 with ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) content, which, in practice, refers to primarily the oxygen content. With special processing, this alloy can develop high fracture toughness. Primary uses are in surgical implants, cryogenic vessels, and airframe components.
Applications: AFM ERTi-1 is typically used in seawater and brackish water heat exchangers, chemical process heat exchangers, pressure vessels and piping systems, pulp bleaching systems, air pollution control scrubbers, and electrochemical and chemical storage tanks. These grades also have some uses in the aerospace industry.
