Alloy VT5

Designation

Description

Alloy VT5 is used: for the manufacture of semi-finished products (sheets, strips, foils, strips, plates, bars, rods, profiles, tubes, forgings and forged blanks) by the method of deformation, and also ingots; consumable electrode vacuum-arc remelting used as charge in the manufacture of shaped castings; welded parts operating at temperatures from -253 to +400 °C; the details of the control systems, internal set of fuselage, of welded parts and components, long-running (up to 10,000 hours) at temperatures up to +400 °C.

Note

Alloy with high corrosion resistance.
Alloy ВТ5Л doped only with aluminum:
a) aluminium is widely distributed in nature, available and relatively cheap;
b) the density of aluminium is much less than the density of titanium and, therefore, the addition of aluminum increases the specific strength of the alloy;
C) with increase of aluminum content increases the high temperature strength and creep resistance of the titanium alloy;
g) aluminium increases the modules of elasticity;
d) with the increase of aluminum content in the alloy decreases the tendency to hydrogen embrittlement.
Alloy VT5 differs from the technical titanium of high strength and heat resistance. However, the aluminum greatly reduces the technological ductility of titanium. VT5 alloy deformed in hot conditions: forged, rolled, stamped. From it produce rods, profiles, forgings, stamping. However, it is preferred to use not deformed condition, and in the form of shaped castings (in this case, it is assigned a brand ВТ5Л).
