Material

Ti 5Al-2.5Sn

General Information

Ti-5Al-2.5Sn is an all-alpha alloy available in many product forms and at two purity levels. The high purity grade of this composition is used principally for cryogenic applications and may be characterized as having lower strength but higher ductility and toughness than the standard grade. The normal purity grade also may be used at low temperatures but it is primarily suitable for room to elevated temperature applications (up to 900EF or to 1100EF for short times) where weldability is an important consideration. mmpds

Welding

Nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and mixtures containing these gases shall not be used Welding with alloy-matching fillers is recommended, preferably using extra Low Interstitial (ELI) filler wires

	SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Lessons Learned

A great deal of care needs to be exercised to ensure complete inert gas (argon or helium) coverage during welding.
