Special properties | More than 50 % of titanium products worldwide are made from this alloy, either by casting or using a powder metallurgical or a hot forming process. The properties of the diverse product forms depend on the chemical composition and the thermo-mechanical process used. The alloy is generally used in its mill-annealed (= soft annealed) condition, which yields the best combination of strength, toughness and ductility. The alloy is age-hardenable, but only in (wall) thicknesses of up to 25 mm. |
