Titanium Alloys Handbook

This handbook represents the third edition of an earlier document. The first and second both entitled 'Aircraft Designer's Handbook on Titanium and Titanium Alloys' were published in August 1965 and March 1967, respectively. Information presented in the handbook was obtained from many sources. Those cooperating included Government agencies, the titanium producers, airframe and engine companies, and many others. The practice of referencing these various sources has been followed in all sections of the handbook. The information is representative of good engineering practice even though actual designs and fabrication processes may vary from those recommended in other sources. Metallurgy, availability, machining and forming, joining, and mechanical properties of titanium alloys are presented. (P.S.-PL)
