RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF TITANIUM ROCKET MOTOR CASE.

Abstract

The results of research and development of a high strength, lightweight titanium alloy rocket case are reported. These results include (1) Results of notched sustained load bump-up tests conducted on flow-turned material with hydrogen contents of 70 and 200 ppm, (2) Tensile data (70F) for Ti-6A1-6V-2Sn alloy TIG welds, (3) Results of investigation of various stress-relieving techniques for B-120 VCA titanium alloy weldments, (4) Aging response tensile data (70F) for center punchouts from full scale rear dome dogbone preforms, (5) Evaluation, including mechanical property testing, full scale rear dome and flow-turned center section burst-test assemblies after hydrostatic testing to destruction, and (6) Tensile test data (70F) for Ti-15 Mo alloy sheet stock in the solution treated and aged conditions.
