6Al-6V-2Sn Titanium per AMS 4978
The AMS 4978 specification covers 6Al-6V-2Sn titanium alloy in the form of bars, wire, forgings.
6-6-2 Alloy (UNS R56620) is a highly beta-stabilized, two-phase, alpha-beta titanium alloy which is a modification of the Ti6Al-4V system. Because of the higher Beta stabilizing elements (additional Vanadium + Fe and Cu), this alloy has a higher strength potential than Ti-6Al-4V, but at a sacrifice of weldability and toughness. In most cases, the welding of 6-6-2 alloy is not recommended. It can be used in the annealed or solution treated and aged conditions.
Applications of 6Al-6V-2Sn per AMS 4978
LANDING GEAR
The landing gear of an aircraft is the system of struts, wheels, and other components that support the aircraft when it is on the ground. These components must be strong enough to support the weight of the aircraft and withstand the stresses of landing and takeoff. 6Al-6V-2Sn per AMS 4978 is sometimes used for the manufacture of landing gear components due to its high strength and corrosion resistance.
WING SPARS
The wing spars of an aircraft are the structural beams that run along the length of the wing and provide support for the wing’s skin and other components. They are typically made from high-strength materials such as 6Al-6V-2Sn per AMS 4978 in order to support the loads placed on the wing during flight.
FUSELAGE FRAME
The fuselage of an aircraft is the main body of the aircraft, and the fuselage frames are the structural components that give the fuselage its shape and support the skin. These frames are typically made from high-strength materials such as 6Al-6V-2Sn in order to support the loads placed on the fuselage during flight.
OTHER SYSTEMS
In addition to these specific components, 6Al-6V-2Sn may also be used for the manufacture of other structural components in the aerospace industry, such as brackets, fasteners, and other hardware. These components may be used to support various systems and subsystems within the aircraft, such as the engines, wings, and tail.
