Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ti-6Al-4V Beta C?
Ti-6Al-4V Beta C is a beta-rich modification of the standard Ti-6Al-4V alloy, specifically designed to increase beta phase stability and improve fracture toughness. It provides ultra-high strength (1170 MPa tensile) combined with excellent damage tolerance, making it ideal for ballistic and armor applications.
What makes Beta C different from standard Ti-6Al-4V?
Beta C contains higher beta stabilizers (vanadium) which increases the volume fraction of beta phase after heat treatment. This results in significantly higher fracture toughness (77 MPa√m vs 44 MPa√m for standard Ti-6Al-4V) and better ballistic performance, while maintaining comparable strength.
What is the ballistic rating of Beta C titanium?
Ti-6Al-4V Beta C meets NIJ Level III ballistic standards and STANAG 4569 Level 3 requirements, providing effective protection against handgun and rifle threats. Its combination of low weight and ballistic performance makes it superior to steel armor for many applications.
Is Beta C titanium ITAR controlled?
Yes, as a high-performance titanium alloy used in defense applications, Ti-6Al-4V Beta C is subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) controls. We are ITAR registered and compliant with all export control requirements for defense-related manufacturing.
