Development of ATI 425 Alloy Titanium Sheet Products

Cold-formable ATI 425 Alloy sheet is an innovative alpha/beta titanium alloy with strength comparable to Ti 6/4 but with hot- and cold-ductility superior to current alternatives for aerospace and defense applications.  The alloy's combination of mechanical properties allows it to be considered for a wide variety of applications where design challenges include weight reduction or for an alternative to steel, aluminum, composites, CP titanium or other titanium alloys.

The major focus of this talk will be on the mechanical properties of this alloy, with special attention to its enhanced super-plastic formability, open-hole fatigue behavior and friction stir welding capabilities.  The presentation will also describe the advantages ATI 425 Alloy possesses in continuous coil, strip and cut-to-length sheet for aerospace and defense applications.
