DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TITANIUM SHEET-ROLLING PROGRAM. Status Report No. 5 Covering th Period January 1, 1959 through December 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4174344

A summary of the progress made on the Titanium Sheet-Holling Program during the period from January 1, 1959, through December 1959 is presented. During this period, the production of the heat-treatable alloys was completed by one producer and is nearing completion by the other two. Three new alloys were added to the program, Ti-7Al- 12Zr, Ti-8A1 - 1Mo- 1V, and Ti-8A1-8Zr1(Cb + Ta). These are designed to be weldable alpha alloys with high creep strength. Phase II, the development of design data, was started, with testing well under way. This work is being done on production-aged material by Lockneed Aircraft Corporation, Marietta, Georgia. Two of the seven Phase III contractors completed their programs, and evaluation is well along for the other five contractors. The two companies who conducted preliminary evaluations of three alloys chose Ti-4A1- 3Mo- 1V as the most promising alloy for fabrication of parts. All of the Phase III programs are scheduled for completion in 1960. (auth)
