Titanium Metals Corp. (Timet), Henderson, Nevada, presents “Timetal 407: A New Titanium Alloy with Unique Properties,” at the Aeromat Conference in Orlando. Timetal 407 (Ti-0.85Al-3.9V-0.25Fe-0.25Si) is a new alpha-beta alloy that provides improved formability and machinability over Ti-6Al-4V, while excelling in applications where high energy absorption or impact resistance is critical.
Timet has produced ingots for a variety of product forms and applications. Production billet, bar, and wire have been produced showing moderate strength levels and higher ductility compared to Ti-6Al-4V.
An additional benefit of Ti-407 is a lower forming temperature and decreased tool wear compared to Ti-6Al-4V. It can be a replacement in applications that do not require the high strength of Ti-6Al-4V, but no other suitable titanium replacement is available. Cold-formed strip product has been fabricated at production scale, and exhibits improved properties over Ti-3Al-2.5V strip product.
Utilizing the benefit of improved machinability and lower temperature processing compared to the competitive alloys (Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-3Al-2.5V), cost reduction can be achieved in downstream processing.
