Selection of Materials
All materials have advantages and disadvantages.Engineering involves trade-offs of properties.Material options exist in almost all situations.Design considerations vary widely by end use criteria.
Driving forces for selections involve commercial as well as engineering considerations.
No single correct solution exists.Ultimately, properties are compared and contrasted, and decisions are made to meet end user requirements.

Titanium Properties – High Level ViewInherent corrosion resistance
No need for platingWeight Savings
Density is approximately 60% of steelsLower Stiffness
Modulus of 16M psi vs. 28M psi for steelsNon-magneticModerate operating temperatures, 800 - 1000°FCommercial considerations
Reliability of supply chain is in question High costLong lead times

Traditional Alloys4340 Family
4340 circa WWII“Granddaddy” of alloy steels
300M – landing gear upgrade to 4340Circa 1960’sUTS > 280 ksi
Both 4340 and 300M are excellent alloys but in many cases the design criteria now exceed capabilities.
Maraging Family18% Ni and Ti & Mo additions for strength and toughnessHardened by precipitation of intermetallic compoundsImproved strength, toughness and fatigue properties

Specific Strength
Density of titanium is 60% of the density of steels
Comparison or properties becomes difficult unless this is taken into consideration
Specific strengthUltimate Strength (U.T.S.) divided by densityNormalizes the U.T.S. by removing the density factor
Clearly highlights a key benefit of titanium

Reference: Dieter, G. E., Mechanical Metallurgy, 3rd. Edition, McGraw-Hill, NY, (1986), p. 283
Approximation of Area Under Stress-Strain Curve =(Elongation)*(Y.S. + U.T.S.)/2
Area Under Stress-Strain Curveis Larger for Material B than A.Therefore, Material B is Tougher ThanMaterial A.

Maximize Strength AND Toughness - Inverse Relationship
Strength Measure is U.T.S.
Use 3 Toughness Measures in “Toughness Index”
Classical Mechanics of Materials Toughness Measure:“Bend-Before-Breaking” or Damage Tolerance
Area Under Stress-Strain Curve
2 Toughness Measures when Stress Concentrations Present:Notches Charpy V-Notch Impact TestsCracks Fracture Toughness (KIc) Tests
Normalize all 3 toughness measures to a 0 - 100 scale
Toughness Index is Geometric Mean of 3 Toughness Measures(multiply the 3 toughness measures together and take cube root)
Toughness considerations expanded…

Summary
Are other alloys direct substitutions for Ti in all instances?Of course not
There are other alloys that can be alternatives for Ti depending on the design criteriaAerMet alloys can be an alternative to Ti if corrosion resistance is not a design factor
AerMet alloys can be plated or paintedAerMet alloys have specific strengths comparable to TiAerMet alloys should be more damage tolerant than TiGenerally superior toughness index compared to Ti

Summary
Custom 465 stainless is a full-fledged stainless steelSpecific strength lower, but approaches Ti levelsShould not be welded or joined to TiVolume envelope is smaller than Ti for a given load
Bottom line – consider all design criteria before decision making
