Properties of TIMETAL 555 (Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-0.6Fe)

TIMETAL 555 is a high-strength near-β titanium alloy that was designed for improved producibility and excellent mechanical property combinations, including deep hardenability. The nominal chemical composition of TIMETAL 555 is Ti-5wt.%Al-5wt.%Mo-5wt.%V-3wt.%Cr. This article provides a summary of the available data for this relatively new alloy. This paper was presented at the Beta Titanium Alloys of the 00’s Symposium sponsored by the Titanium Committee of TMS, held during the 2005 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition, February 13–16, 2005 in San Francisco, CA.
