BETA TITANIUM ALLOY

About:

• It has been designed and developed by DRDO’s Hyderabad-based Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL).
  
  
• The state-of-art alloys have been in use by many developed nations in recent times as a beneficial and cost-effective substitute for the relatively heavier traditional Ni-Cr-Mo structural steels to achieve weight savings.
  
  
• The higher strength, ductility, fatigue, and fracture toughness of the titanium alloy can replace steel and can lead to considerable weight savings.
  
  
• The components which may be forged from Beta Titanium Alloy include slat/flap tracks, landing gear, and drop link in landing gear among several others.
