Titanium Alloys - Ti4Al4Mo4Sn0.5Si0.1C Physical and Mechanical Properties and Fabrication

Oct 28 2003

Chemical Formula

Ti4Al4Mo4Sn0.5Si0.1C

Background

Ti4Al4Mo4Sn0.5Si0.1C, also known as Timetal 551 is one of the strongest of the commercially available titanium alloys and is creep resistant up to 400°C (750°F). It has a similar composition to Timetal 550, apart from an increase in tin and carbon content, which gives increased strength at room and elevated temperatures.
