This chapter contains the engineering properties and related characteristics of titanium and titanium alloys used in aircraft and missile structural applications.

Titanium is a relatively lightweight, corrosion-resistant structural material that can be strengthened greatly through alloying and, in some of its alloys, by heat treatment. Among its advantages for specific applications are:

• good strength-to-weight ratio
• low density
• low coefficient of thermal expansion
• good corrosion resistance
• good oxidation resistance at intermediate temperatures
• good toughness and
• low heat-treating temperature during hardening.
