The term "half 6-4" is used to describe grade 9 titanium tube on occasion. This combination of titanium with 3% aluminum and 2.5% vanadium offers 20 to half more noteworthy mechanical strength than the financially unadulterated (CP) titanium grades, however is more formable and weldable than Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5).
The properties make it an excellent choice for high-performance applications, where strength, weight, and corrosion resistance are important factors. It has a tensile strength of 896 MPa (130 ksi) and a yield strength of 828 MPa (120 ksi), which is higher than many other titanium alloys. It also has good ductility and toughness, which make it easy to form and machine. Grade 9 titanium tube is widely used for producing titanium bicycle frame, titanium wheel chair, and other products.

Features of the Grade 9 Titanium tubing for bicycles
1)High strength and high pressure resistance: GR9 titanium alloy tubes have a strength 20% to 50% higher than that of industrial pure titanium at room temperature and are suitable for high pressure resistance applications.
2)Excellent corrosion resistance: GR9 titanium alloy exhibits good corrosion resistance in many media and is particularly suitable for use in corrosive environments.
3)Good cold formability and weldability: GR9 titanium alloy has good cold formability and weldability, which makes it more flexible and reliable in manufacturing.
4)Lightweight: The low density of GR9 titanium alloy gives it a significant advantage in fields that require lightweight designs.
