Superior Oxidation Resistance Titanium Alloy for Aerospace Applications

Next generation fuel-efficient jet engines are running hotter presenting a structural challenge for the exhaust systems and structures adjacent to the engines. A conventional and affordable titanium alloy with superior oxidation resistance provides significant weight reductions and associated cost savings by eliminating the need for high density material systems such as nickel-base superalloys for service temperatures in between current titanium and nickel, enabling major technology advancement in high temperature aerospace applications. This presentation will provide an overview of Arconic’s engineered solution RTI-THOR^TM to address the needs of future aerospace systems.
