| Mechanical property data for strip and sheet solution treated 1550°F (843°C) then air-cooled, then aged 1275°F (691°C) for 8 hours and 1200°F (645°C) for 8 hours. High-Strength, Oxidation Resistant Strip Alloy Features: Offers the good cold formability and weldability of a beta strip alloy, but with greatly improved oxidation resistance and creep strength. Aerospace applications include engine exhaust plug and nozzle assemblies. The alloy's resistance to aircraft hydraulic fluids, such as Skydrol, is excellent at all temperatures. It is well suited for metal matrix composites because it can be economically rolled to foil, is compatible with most fibers, and is sufficiently stable up to 816°C. Typical heat treatment for this alloy: Solution treatment: 816-843°C (1500° - 1550°F) for 3-30 min, air cool. Age treatment: 510-679°C (950° - 1275°F) for 8-16 hrs. Data provided by TIMET. |
