Titanium FT-12 – For Complex Geometries and High Loads
Titanium FT-12 is a titanium alloy developed by Form & Technik GmbH, combining excellent formability with outstanding fatigue properties and high oxidation resistance.
The material was developed for applications in which components are exposed to high thermal and mechanical loads as well as recurring temperature cycles. Its excellent formability enables the production of complex geometries.
Formability, Durability and Long-Term Stability
Titanium FT-12 combines high formability with outstanding fatigue properties. This makes the material particularly suitable for complex components exposed to recurring thermal and mechanical loads during operation.
Its excellent formability enables the production of complex geometries while maintaining high structural integrity.
High oxidation resistance and resistance to corrosive environments contribute to an extended service life of the manufactured components.
Titanium FT-12 also offers very high bending quality and fracture strength. Dimensional stability is maintained up to approximately 750°C.
