Unalloyed Ti Grades are often referred to by their tensile strengths, as in 35A, 50A, 65A, 75A, 100A ...
The difference has to do with sub-percentage traces of oxygen and iron in the metal. The more of these
dopants (inclusions, contaminants) there is, the harder the metal becomes.
ELI = Extra Low Interstitial
