Titanium alloys have a high tensile strength because of density ratio, high corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand moderately high temperatures without creeping. Because of these features, titanium alloys are used for aircraft development.  This  article, from Outlook Biz, highlights the research done by IRT Saint Exupery in which they assessed the potential use of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy in aerospace applications, specifically in relation to heat treatment and fatigue crack growth.

Researchers from IRT Saint Exupery assessed the impact of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth resistance of αβ titanium alloys.
