Titanium Beta-C is a metastable beta alloy which can be heat treated to high strength levels. The alloy contains beta stabilizer elements which allow it to retain the high strength beta phase after quenching. It can be solution treated and aged to provide increases in strength above convention alpha + beta titanium alloys. Because it has one of the lowest densities for a beta titanium alloy, it has a very high specific strength (strength/density).
As in other titanium alloys, Beta-C titanium alloy has a high level of corrosion resistance based on the existence of a consistent and continuous oxide layer which is formed spontaneously upon exposure to oxygen. In addition, due to its approximate 4% molybdenum content, Beta-C titanium alloy has excellent resistance to corrosion in reducing environments such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). It has excellent resistance to corrosion in seawater making it a good choice for use in offshore and subsea oil & gas operations where corrosion, strength, and weight are concerns. Beta-C titanium, like other titanium alloys, has a modulus of elasticity of 107 Gpa (15.5 x 103 ksi), roughly half that of alloy steels. It also has excellent fatigue resistance, therefore it can be beneficial when used in component designs that will need to elastically deform repeatedly under high stresses. Another benefit of Beta C titanium is its ability to retain relatively high levels of strength at temperatures up to 350°C. Some advantages of Titanium Beta-C: • Excellent corrosion resistance • Can be heat treated to yield strength levels above 1170MPa (170 ksi) • Stronger than titanium alloys 6Al-4V and 6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo • Conforms to NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156 • Excellent fatigue resistance • High strength-to-weight ratio Titanium Engineers, with headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas, has over 25 years of experience in processing titanium and manufacturing titanium components, including high strength Beta- C titanium alloy. Titanium Engineers has large inventories of Beta-C and unlike many other titanium processors, we have the knowledge and experience to process and machine Beta-C titanium correctly in order to insure the mechanical properties and dimensional stability required by the customer are met. |
