Manufacturing of Titanium Airframe Components by Hot Isostatic Pressing.

Abstract

This program has demonstrated the feasibility of producing titanium airframe components by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of titanium alloy powder. Task 1 culminated in the manufacture of an F-14A fuselage brace to near net shape with critical dimensions within the print tolerance. In addition, Task 2 demonstrated that aerospace design requirements could be met by Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn and Ti-6Al-4V as produced by HIP. Tensile, fatigue and toughness data are presented, which show that annealed plate properties can be attained or exceeded. Excellent fracture toughness (K1c) was obtained for Ti-6-6-2. Recommendations are presented for the manufacture of a pilot lot as the continuation of the present effort. (Author)
