Update: Titanium alloys are typically etched using a grain boundary etchant such Kroll’s or 2% HF. In the case of alpha case evaluations, a tint etch such as ammonium fluoride is used to provide greater contrast between the alpha...
Alpha-beta titanium alloys are commonly used in aerospace applications where high strength and low weight are key performance drivers. Alpha beta titanium alloys are capable of matching the strength of high strength steels while having nearly half the mass....
Titanium and its alloys are one of the most interesting light alloys. With a high strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance titanium alloys are ideal in may weight driven applications such as aerospace and automotive racing. Also,...
