Titanium Combustion Research Program and User's Manual for Deck CCD 1152-0.0.

Abstract

Titanium and its alloys are known to undergo self-sustained combustion in aerodynamic environments. Energy in several forms, i.e. radiation, frictional heating, or aerodynamic heating can be sufficient to bring the matter to a condition where self-sustained combustion can occur. The phenomenon has been of interest in the laser effects-vulnerability area, and also in aircraft propulsion systems, where titanium alloys are extensively used.
