Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) Handbook - Chapter 5 - Titanium Alloys
Handbook / Manual / Guide by Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization, 04/01/2014
Full Description
This chapter contains the engineering properties and related characteristics of titanium and titanium alloys used in aircraft and missile structural applications.
Titanium is a relatively lightweight, corrosion-resistant structural material that can be strengthened greatly through alloying and, in some of its alloys, by heat treatment. Among its advantages for specific applications are:good strength-to-weight ratiolow densitylow coefficient of thermal expansiongood corrosion resistancegood oxidation resistance at intermediate temperaturesgood toughness and low heat-treating temperature during hardening.
