Recently, arconic announced that the company has developed an arconic-thor? Advanced titanium alloy, commercial license has been obtained. The alloy is designed for use in next-generation aeroengines and adjacent structures for high temperature applications. During the hot operation of the next generation aero engine, arconic-thor is a lighter and more cost-effective new titanium alloy to replace the current nickel base superalloy. The patented titanium alloy is 50% lighter than the current nickel base alloy, which is more suitable for high temperature resistant aeroengines and adjacent structures, and can save costs for customers, so that the company can seize the demand of the engine and fuselage material market.

　　Arconic-thor is a breakthrough aerospace material whose performance is inferior to that of traditional alloys. Jeremy Halford, President of arconic engineering structure, said that the next generation of fuel-saving aeroengines are widely used, which is a challenge for the selection of exhaust system materials and adjacent structures. Using our material science expertise, our engineers developed arconic-thor? Powerful titanium solutions can withstand heat and considerable weight, saving costs for our customers.

　　Within the scope of arconic's patented alloys, the special patented formula has three times higher oxidation resistance than the existing superalloys. This improved oxidation resistance can prevent material deterioration at elevated temperature. Compared with other traditional titanium alloys on the market, arconic-thor alloy can operate better at durable temperature.

　　Arconic has cooperated with customers to complete the development project arconic-thor, including Boeing, an aircraft project manufacturer funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, and Honeywell, an aircraft engine manufacturer. We use arconic-thor plates to produce all large parts. The joint material affordability Initiative (MAI) project has verified that arconic-thor, as a producible and highly resistant titanium oxide alloy, has acceptable oxidation resistance at temperatures above 200 ° F. The project further concluded that arconic-thor significantly reduced weight and improved component performance.

　　Sae-ams Zui recently approved standard aerospace material specification (AMS) 6953 for arconic-thor plates.

　　Arconic-thor can produce thin and thick plates, foils, billets, rolled rings, forgings and extrusions. It has formability (cold, heat, superplasticity), heat treatment, forging and welding.
