DMS 2268 - 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Forgings (STA, McDonnell Douglas/Boeing)
DMS 2268 is the McDonnell Douglas / Boeing Material Specification for 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy forgings in the solution treated and aged condition. This specification is the STA companion to DMS 1888, covering forgings that require the elevated strength levels produced by the STA heat treatment cycle.
Forgings per DMS 2268 are used in Boeing structural components where the annealed strength of DMS 1888 is insufficient for the design loads, particularly in highly stressed wing spars, landing gear forgings, and engine mount structures on high-performance aircraft.
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.
