  • A At minimum, the analysis of samples from the top and bottom of the ingot shall be completed and reported for all elements listed for the respective grade in this table.
    B Final product hydrogen shall be reported. Ingot hydrogen need not be reported. Lower hydrogen may be obtained by negotiation with the manufacturer.
    C Single values are maximum. The percentage of titanium is determined by difference.
    D Other elements need not be reported unless the concentration level is greater than 0.1 % each, or 0.4 % total. Other elements may not be added intentionally. Other elements may be present in titanium or titanium alloys in small quantities and are inherent to the manufacturing process. In titanium these elements typically include aluminum, vanadium, tin, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium, bismuth, ruthenium, palladium, yttrium, copper, silicon, cobalt, tantalum, nickel, boron, manganese, and tungsten.
    E The purchaser may, in the written purchase order, request analysis for specific residual elements not listed in this specification.

  • A These properties apply to forgings having a cross section no greater than 3 in.2 (1935 mm2 ). Mechanical properties of forgings having greater cross sections shall be negotiated between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
    B Material is identical to the corresponding numeric grade (that is, Grade F-2H = Grade F-2) except for the higher guaranteed minimum UTS, and may be dual certified with its corresponding numeric grade. Grade F-2H, F-7H, F-16H, and F-26H are intended primarily for pressure vessel use.
    C The H grades were added in response to a user association request based on its study of over 5200 commercial Grade 2, 7, 16, and 26 test reports where over 99 % met the 58 ksi minimum UTS.
    D Properties for material in transformed-beta condition.
    E Properties for material in the solution treated condition.
    F Properties for solution treated and aged condition-Moderate strength (determined by aging temperature).
    G Properties for solution treated and aged condition-High Strength (determined by aging temperature).
    H For product section or wall thickness values <1.0 in.
    I For product section or wall thickness values ≥1.0 in
