Introduction

Commercially pure titanium alloys are available in many forms. The content of oxygen and iron influences their mechanical properties. Each commercial grade is designed to meet the needs for different applications.

Grade 4 Unalloyed Ti ("Pure") 75A alloy is the highest strength of all the unalloyed grades. It is known to possess good ductility and medium formability. Good strength to weight ratio is well maintained at moderate temperatures. At low temperatures, this alloy also has good impact properties.

Fabrication and Heat Treatment

Machinability

Grade 4 Unalloyed Ti ("Pure") 75A alloy is hard to machine but can be successfully done using slow speeds, high coolant flow, and high feed rates. Tooling should be performed using tungsten carbide designations C1-C4 or cobalt type high speed tools.

Forming

Grade 4 Unalloyed Ti ("Pure") 75A alloy can be hot or cold formed using power brake, hydropress, stretch or drop hammer methods.

Welding

Weldability of grade 4 Unalloyed Ti ("Pure") 75A alloy is rated as good.

Annealing

Annealing of this material can be performed by heating to 704°C (1299°F), and then held for 2 h, which should be followed by air cooling. In case intermediate stress relieving is required, the material has to be heated to 482-538°C (900-100-°F) for 45 min.

Forging

Rough forging can be performed at 935°C (1715°F) and completed at 843°C (1550 °F).

Hot Working

Hot working enhances the overall ductility of the material.

Cold Working

Cold working features of this material is same as that of a moderately tempered austenitic stainless steel. Post-work annealing is recommended to re- attain favorable performance properties.

Applications

Grade 4 Unalloyed Ti ("Pure") 75A alloy is used in the following:
