DMS 1881 - 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Forgings (Boeing)
DMS 1881 is the Boeing Material Specification for 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy forgings. Per the FJM action plan, DMS 1881 is confirmed as covering Ti-6Al-4V forgings and is placed under the 6Al-4V titanium category in the new site structure.
This specification covers the procurement and quality requirements for 6Al-4V titanium forgings used in Boeing aerospace programs, including structural rib forgings, bulkhead forgings, and machined structural components produced from forged preforms.
6Al-4V is recommended for use at temperatures from -350° to 750°F (-210° to 400°C). Applications outside this temperature range are possible in certain situations. The alloy is weldable. Complex shapes can be made via hot forming. It machines like an austenitic stainless steel.
