Beta C Titanium
SHP 38-644 is a metastable titanium alloy
Our product is ideal for applications requiring high strength, low weight and high corrosion resistance.
SHP 38-644 is a solution heat-treated, cold-drawn titanium alloy. The alloy boasts outstanding ductility or dramatically improved tensile strength with good ductility, depending on which heat treatment process is adopted.
Treatment Differences:
If solution-treated (annealed), SHP 38-644 provides the highest ductility. Solution treating & amp; ageing give the material a 40% increase in tensile strength while still providing good ductility, superior fatigue strength and low modulus of elasticity. The time the alloy ages dictates the material's tensile strength - altering this time will modify strength to your requirements.
Lightweight, high strength:
Boasting one of the lowest densities of all beta titanium alloys, SHP 38-644 provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making the alloy highly suitable for high-strength engineering applications. The alloy is manufactured in two ways - either by vacuum arc (VAR) or plasma arc cold hearth melting (PAM). We supply SHP 38-644 in solid round bars and provide processing services where we cut your products into more manageable billets.
