Titanium offers virtually unsurpassed resistance to crevice, pitting, and s
tress-corrosion cracking in seawater environments. Ti-5Al-1Sn-1Zr-1V-0.8Mo
(Ti-5111) is a near-alpha titanium alloy of intermediate strength, excellen
t toughness, and room-temperature creep resistance designed in a U.S. Navy-
sponsored titanium alloy development program for structural submarine appli
cations. Ti-5111's desirable mechanical properties nlm excellent corrosion
resistance render this titanium alloy an ideal fastener material from both
a technical and economic perspective.
