主权项

1. A method for forming a titanium component comprising:
forming a metal component into a final configuration using a titanium alloy comprising Ti-5553; solutionizing the metal component between about 30° C. and 60° C. less than a beta transus temperature of the titanium alloy for between about 1 hour and 2 hours to form a solutionized metal component; and aging the solutionized metal component between about 575° C. and wherein about 625° C. for between about 2 hours and about 4 hours to form a heat treated metal component.
