Titanium base alloy for superplastic forming

摘要

A titanium base alloy with improved superplastic properties is provided. The alloy has 6% Al and from 1.5 to 2.5% of a beta-stabilizing element which has high diffusivity in titanium, namely Co, Fe, Cr, or Ni. In a preferred embodiment, the alloy is a Ti-6Al-4V type alloy modified by the addition of about 2% Fe.
