TIMETAL 230

Product catalog summary
Overview: TIMETAL® 230 is a cold-formable medium-strength titanium alloy containing 2.5% copper. It offers enhanced mechanical properties, particularly at elevated temperatures, and is used in applications such as gas-turbine engine components and airframes.
Chemical Composition: The alloy primarily consists of titanium with 2.00-3.00% copper, and trace amounts of iron, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and other residual elements.
Physical Properties: Key properties include a density of 4.56 g/cm³, a beta transus temperature of 890°C, thermal conductivity of 12.97 W/m·K, and nonmagnetic behavior.
Heat Treatment: The alloy undergoes various heat treatments, including annealing and aging, to enhance its mechanical properties. Specific treatments involve air cooling and rapid air cooling at different temperatures.
Mechanical Properties: The guaranteed minimum mechanical properties include ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), elongation, reduction in area, and bend radius. These properties vary based on the heat treatment condition.
Fatigue and Tensile Properties: The document provides detailed data on fatigue limits and tensile strength under different conditions, including direct stress, rotating bend, and reverse bend tests.
Effect of Temperature: Graphs illustrate the effect of temperature on the tensile properties of aged and annealed sheets, showing changes in strength and ductility across a range of temperatures.
Creep Properties: Creep properties are detailed, showing stress levels required for 0.1% total plastic strain over 100 hours at various temperatures.
Cold Rolled Sheet Tensile Properties: The document includes data on tensile properties of cold-rolled sheets, highlighting proof stress, tensile strength, and elongation under different conditions.
Contact Information: For further information, contact details for TIMET's sales offices and technical support centers in North America and Europe are provided.

TIMETAL 230-1

TIMETAL® 230 COLD FORMABLE M E D I U M - S T R E N G T H ALLOY TIMETAL 230, a binary alloy containing 2.5% copper, combines the formability and weldability of unalloyed titanium with improved mechanical properties, particularly at elevated temperatures. The alloy can be used at temperatures up to 660°F (350°C), and is used in the annealed condition as sheet, for gings and extrusions for fabricating components such as bypass ducts of gas-turbine engines. Its use spread to the airframe industry, following the development of an ageing treatment which raises room-temperature tensile properties by about 25%, and nearly doubles the elevated temperature properties. Such a material is particularly attractive since it can be formed in the soft condition, thus lowering fabrication costs.
