Baoti Group Laboratory offers testing and conformity services within the framework of the AMS 4911 standard. This specification covers a titanium alloy in sheet, stripe, and plate forms up to 4,000 inches (101.60 mm) in thickness.
AMS 4911 Titanium Alloy, Sheet, Stripe, and Plate 6Al-4V Annealed Test Standard
Titanium is 30% stronger than steel but approximately 50% lighter. Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminum but twice as strong.
Titanium has excellent strength retention up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is alloyed with aluminum, manganese, iron, molybdenum, and other metals to increase strength, withstand high temperatures, and enhance the resulting alloy’s properties.
Titanium’s high corrosion resistance is also a valuable property; when exposed to the atmosphere, titanium forms a tight, durable oxide film that resists many corrosive materials, especially saltwater.
In the 1950s, the titanium metal industry was primarily established in response to the emerging aerospace industry, which used it to manufacture structural components and cladding, aircraft hydraulic systems, aircraft engine components, rockets, missiles, and spacecraft with these functions. The military also utilizes titanium in its guided missiles and artillery.
Other practical applications, such as shipbuilding, have developed over time, including submarines, ship propellers, shafts, hardware, and other highly abrasive parts. Titanium is also increasingly used in medical applications due to its lightweight, strength, and hypoallergenic properties, as it does not contain nickel. Titanium products are also being used in other industries.
