Titan 6242 Alloy for the Aerospace Industry

--The Challenge

A prominent manufacturer of aerospace products developed a new engine design that required components which are light and capable of withstanding mechanical loads. The company required profiles produced from a titanium alloy to manufacture engine parts that face high temperatures and mechanical stress.

--The Solution

For this critical application, Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) proposed the following specifications:

1. Diameter: For engine components in the aerospace sector, we advise using profiles made from the Titan 6242 alloy with diameters ranging between 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) and 1.5 inches (38.1 mm). This range offers a balance between precision and strength and meets the strict requirements of engine applications.
2. Length: To achieve high precision and performance, we propose adjusting the length of the Titan 6242 profiles to match the engine design specifications. Our team works with you to determine the exact lengths required for each component of the engine assembly.

--Results

By adjusting the diameter and length specifications to the customer’s requirements, the aerospace manufacturer successfully integrated the Titan 6242 profiles into its engine design. The alloy’s low weight and specific material properties contribute to improved fuel efficiency and overall engine performance.

Conclusion

In summary, the application of the Titan 6242 alloy in aerospace is significant. Its high strength, corrosion resistance and quantifiable fatigue characteristics offer profiles that are both light and durable. This results in improved performance, safety and efficiency for aircraft. Given that aerospace manufacturers continuously seek innovative solutions, Titan 6242 continues to play a leading role in updating production methods and supporting higher performance levels in the sector.
