Filed:

Jul 29, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/737019

Inventors:

Roy E. Adams - Henderson NV
Warran M. Parris - Las Vegas NV
Paul J. Bania - Boulder City NV

Assignee:

Titanium Metals Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

C22C 1400

US Classification:

420418

Abstract:

An alpha-beta titanium-base alloy having a good combination of strength and ductility with a relatively low cost composition. The composition, in percent by weight, is 5. 5 to 6. 5 aluminum, 1. 5 to 2. 2 iron, 0. 07 to 0. 13 silicon and balance titanium. The alloy may have oxygen restricted in an amount up to 0. 25%. The alloy may be hot-worked solely at a temperature above the beta transus temperature of the alloy to result in low. TM. cost processing with improved product yields. The hot-working may include forging, which may be conducted at a temperature of 25. degree. to 450. degree. F. above the beta transus temperature of the alloy. The hot-working may also include hot-rolling, which also may be conducted at a temperature of 25. degree. to 450. degree. F. above the beta transus temperature of the alloy.

Appl. No.:

7/750420

Inventors:

Paul J. Bania - Boulder City NV
Roy E. Adams - Henderson NV
James Stokes - Ridgecrest CA

Assignee:

Titanium Metals Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

C22C 1400

US Classification:

148407

Abstract:

An alpha-beta titanium-base alloy, and fastener made therefrom. The alloy has a combination of an ultimate tensile strength of at least 220 ksi with a minimum elongation of 7% in the solution-treated and aged condition. The alloy has a total beta stabilizer content of 15 to 20%, a total alpha stabilizer content of 1. 5 to 3. 5% and balance titanium. The alloy may have an aluminum equivalence of at least 3. 0%, preferably 4. 0%. The alloy may have an aluminum content of at least 1. 5%. The beta stabilizer element may be at least one vanadium, molybdenum or iron and the alpha stabilizer element may be one or more of aluminum, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
