Introduction
Titanium alloys are formed by combining titanium with other metals such as nickel, ruthenium, vanadium, and aluminum to enhance the properties of the metal. These alloys are known to be light weight, and possess excellent corrosion resistance and very high tensile strength and toughness.
The following sections will discuss in detail about grade 14 Ti 0.5 Ni 0.05 Ru alloy.
