IN THE SOLUTION TREATED AND AGED CONDITION, Ti4Al-3Mo-1V has a higher ultimate strength than does Ti-2.5Al-16V, but the two alloys are about even in yield strength and elongation. In the solution-treated condition, Ti-4Al-3Mo-1V is unquestionably stronger than Ti-2.5Al-16V. These conclusions are independent of producer. There is not much difference in the same alloy produced by different companies. The alloys developed under the Titanium-Alloy Sheet-Rolling Program would not endure the most critical interpretation of release property specifications. On the other hand, these alloys come reasonably close to specifications. A complete set of release property specifications is available only for specimens that have been solution treated and aged. Such specimens do not all exhibit the desired ultimate and yield strength, but the percentage of rejects is small enough to be encouraging. (Author).
