equivalentCorresponds closely to ASTM F136Verified spec[2]

What it means in practice

Ti-6Al-4V is stronger than unalloyed titanium, which is why it appears in components that carry concentrated load. It contains aluminium and vanadium, and that composition is occasionally raised as a concern by patients seeking metal-free or minimally-alloyed options. The evidence position is that the alloy has a long clinical history in orthopaedics and dentistry; the point worth making is simply that "titanium" covers both this and the unalloyed grades, and they are not the same material.
