TIMETAL 10-2-3
HIGH-STRENGTH FORGING ALLOY
TIMETAL 10-2-3 is a TIMET developed, high-str ength, deep hardenable forging alloy useful for airframes and engines.
Metallurgically it is a near beta alloy. It offers the opportunity to use near-net shape forging techniques and has excellent
strength-toughness combinations. TIMETAL 10-2-3 has very high fatigue life and is well-suited for safe-life designs.
Current applications for TIMETAL 10-2-3 encompass numerous aircraft structural parts, including landing gear components.
