Advancements in the Fabrication Technology of Titanium for the C-5A. Presented at the Materials Engineering Exposition and Congress(1968) Held in Detroit, Michigan on 14-17 October 1968

The application of titanium for aircraft structural and functional components on the C-5A consists of sheet, plate, forgings, extrusions, tubing, and ducting. Parts are made from commercially pure titanium and the following alloys: Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn, Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V, Ti-5Al-2.58Sn, and Ti-3Al-2...

Zusammenfassung:The application of titanium for aircraft structural and functional components on the C-5A consists of sheet, plate, forgings, extrusions, tubing, and ducting. Parts are made from commercially pure titanium and the following alloys: Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn, Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V, Ti-5Al-2.58Sn, and Ti-3Al-2.5V. There Are approximately 1.3 million titanium fasteners used on each C-5A out of a total usage of 2 million fasteners. Titanium fasteners are made of Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn, Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe alloys and consists of tapered interference fasteners as well as streight shank fasteners.
