Introduction
Titanium alloys are developed by adding varying quantities of alloying metals to the base metal titanium. Each alloying metal helps to enhance the properties of corrosion resistance, ductility, durability, tensile strength etc.
Grade Ti-8Mo-8V-2Fe-3Al alloy is a metastable beta alloy that has very high tensile and shear strengths. It can be annealed at 675 °C (1247°F) for 1/2 h and then air cooled.
