Material classTitanium
Alloy / temper / formTi-6Al-4V / Annealed / HIP Casting
SpecificationsAMS 4962
HandbookMIL-HDBK-5J, 31 January 2003, section 5.4.1.0, Table 5.4.1.0(g) (pdf page 59 of the chapter file)
Dimension bands1

Design Mechanical and Physical Properties (room temperature)

Converted from the handbook table (ksi, Msi, lb/in³) and rounded to 4 significant figures; dimension bands in inches with mm in parentheses. Bases: A and B are statistical minimums (99 % and 90 % probability at 95 % confidence), S the specification minimum. Grain directions: L longitudinal, LT long transverse, ST short transverse.

Effect of Temperature

Percent of the room-temperature value against temperature, digitized from the handbook figures (the shortest exposure of each figure, every 10 °F). Strength curves give the allowable at temperature; "after exposure" curves give the room-temperature property after a soak at that temperature.
