Heat treating any aerospace projects? Then you know titanium is up there when it comes to VIP alloys in the industry. This best of the web is pulled from an aerospace magazine in which Michael Johnson of Solar Atmospheres answers five questions about creep flattening titanium:
- Typical temperatures for creep flattening titanium parts
- Whether of not creep flattening can only be done in a vacuum
- Best fixturing for creep flattening titanium parts
- Can creep flattening minimize movement
- Will reheating titanium over 1,000°F affect certification
An excerpt:
"Give your heat treater your material certifications. Many mills will certify to aerospace material specification AMS 2801, AMS 4905, AMS 4911, AMS-H-81200, etc. The material often can be re-annealed while simultaneously creep flattening." - Michael Johnson, Director of Sales, Solar Atmospheres
