TITANIUM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. (VOLUME I)

Abstract

This volume describes the qualification testsAN EVALUATIONS PERFORMED PRIOR TO SELECTION OF THE Ti alloy most suitable for use in advanced design aircraft components. Ti-4Al-3Mo-1V alloy was selected, in the basic evaluation, over Ti-2. 5Al-16V and Ti-6Al-4V because of its greater desirability for satisfying engineering properties requirements, acceptability of mode of heat treatment and over-all manufacturing capabilities for airframe construction employing solution heat treated and aged Ti alloys. Ti13Cr-11V-3Al was selected, in the supplemental limited evaluation, over Ti-5Al-2.75Cr-1.25Fe due to its superior mechanical property values and spot weld strength values. (Author)
