Titanium alloy

Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.08Si
Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.08Si (Ti6242) is a near-alpha alloy and combines high mechanical strength, weldability, high temperature stability and creep resistance up to temperatures of 550°C (versus approximately 400 °C for Ti-6Al-4V).Ti-6242 is used to manufacture lightweight production parts where high temperature stability is critical. Examples from the aerospace industry include turbine components, afterburner structures and various applications in the hot zone of the airframe.

Powder chemical composition may comply with standards: AMS4919, AMS7017 or equivalent standard.
