Developments of Cost Affordable Titanium Alloys in Japan

Abstract:

Titanium and its alloys are the 5th most common metallic materials used world wide but the markets volume of titanium materials, is difficult to expand due to associated production costs, and the decrease of those costs are critical in order to expand their markets. A possible option is the alloy design, i.e. using low price alloying element, such as iron, chromium, manganese and oxygen, and the selection of other raw materials, i.e. grade of sponge titanium. In beta titanium alloy, Ti-Mo system alloy using ferro-molybdeum was developed by USA company or Ti-Cr-Fe-Al beta alloy were also developed by Japan company. In this paper, those developed alloys were explained. Furthermore, substitution of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al near beta alloy, presenters are studying about Ti-Mn-Fe-Al alloy.
