834 Titanium
Enhancing Performance
834 titanium is an engineering material which takes performance to another level.
Designed originally for use in the aerospace sector, 834 titanium is a high-performance alloy also highly suitable for motorsport applications.
Improved Performance:
Titanium is a product that can be modified by alloying to offer different performance characteristics. In the case of 834 titanium (near-alpha alloy), small amounts of beta-phase stabilisers; Niobium, Molybdenum and Silicon and increased alpha stabilisers; Aluminium, Zirconium and Carbon, introduced during the alloying process change the performance characteristics of the material. Increases in tensile strength, creep resistance and fatigue resistance are the result. Our product offers improved temperature capability when compared to 6242 titanium.
Strengthening:
834 titanium undergoes solid-solution and precipitation strengthening, creating a product with superior performance capabilities compared to 6242 titanium alloy. During production, the material also benefits from heat treatment high in the alpha plus beta phase field. Resulting features include increased creep resistance (up to 110° F (600° C)) and an overall increase in tensile strength. Fatigue resistance is also much improved when compared to 6242 titanium.
Property Retention:
Alloy properties are maintained to a reasonable level up to bar thicknesses of 75mm (3 inches) - in greater diameters, a slight reduction in overall strength may be observed.
Further Info:
834 titanium alloy is weldable using well-established techniques specific to titanium products. We stock the material in solid round bars and forgings.
