5Al-2.5Sn & ELI Titanium Alloy
The AMS 4966 is a material specification for aerospace applications for the Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy of titanium, which is of grade 6 composition and is in forging or forging stock form. The material is in annealed condition and is meant for providing high strength, weldability, and high-temperature properties.
What is 5Al-2.5Sn Titanium ?
5Al-2.5Sn is an alloy made up of 5% aluminum and 2.5% tin. It is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy that is commonly used in the aerospace and defense industries. Grade 6 Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy has high service temperature of 480°C (896°F), medium strength, and excellent weldability and fabricability. This alloy has good oxidation resistance and microstructure stability; however it is not heat-treatable.
Applications of 5Al-2.5Sn Titanium
AMS 4966 titanium forgings are used in aerospace systems that require high strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable elevated-temperature performance.
Typical applications include:
- Gas Turbine Engine Components : forged rings and structural hardware
- Aircraft Structural Frames : load-bearing forged components
- Aerospace Systems : high-strength forged parts for critical assemblies
