Titanium alloy with specific composition for enhanced strength
The granted patent US12071678B2 outlines a titanium alloy characterized by specific weight percentages of various elements, including vanadium, tin, aluminum, zirconium, molybdenum, and trace amounts of oxygen, iron, chromium, carbon, and nitrogen. The primary claim specifies that the alloy contains 6.0 to 12.0% vanadium, 3.0 to 8.0% tin, 2.0 to 5.0% aluminum, 1.0 to 5.0% zirconium, and 1.0 to 5.0% molybdenum, among other components. Additional claims refine these ranges, particularly focusing on the total content of vanadium and niobium, as well as the total content of certain elements not exceeding 16.0%. The patent also emphasizes the alloy's performance characteristics, including an ultimate tensile strength of at least 170 ksi at room temperature, with some claims specifying a higher threshold of 180 ksi.
Further claims detail specific compositions within the broader ranges, such as the preferred percentages of vanadium, tin, aluminum, zirconium, and molybdenum. The patent also introduces the concept of equivalent values for aluminum and molybdenum, establishing a ratio that enhances the alloy's mechanical properties. The inclusion of optional elements like niobium and copper is noted, allowing for customization of the alloy's properties. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive formulation of a titanium alloy designed to achieve high strength and ductility, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
