Titanium 10-2-3 is a near-beta alloy developed primarily for high-strength applications in the 1241 MPa (180ksi) UTS range, in order to provide weights savings over steels in airframe forging applications. The alloy also possesses the best hot-die forgeability of any commercial titanium alloy and is suitable for near net-shape forging applications and isothermal forging.
Titanium 10-2-3's high strength/toughness combinations with its deep-hardenable characteristics, provides challenges for the heat treatment. A comprehensive overview of heat treat procedures and rendering results will be presented.
