Titanium is a very attractive material for aerospace applications due to its high strength:weight ratio, corrosion resistance and temperature capabilities; titanium is used in cryogenic applications as well as for elevated temperature applications up to ∼600°C. Another consideration, becoming more important with increased use of polymer matrix composites usage, is titanium is more compatible with composite materials than the other structural alloys when taking into account both corrosion and coefficient of thermal expansion compatibility with the graphite fibers in the composites. The rationale for using titanium will be discussed in detail and a brief description of the alloy types and their advantages and disadvantages will be presented in (see Titanium and its Alloys: Processing, Fabrication and Mechanical Performance). A wide range of heat treatments can be used for Ti alloys, which can have a significant effect on their properties combinations, which will be explained. A unique aspect of titanium is that even the modulus can be modified by heat treatment and/or processing. Relatively new, emerging alloys are also covered. Keywords: titanium; titanium alloys; heat treatment; metallurgy; alloy characteristics
