1. High-temperature toughness and long-term stability (300–500°C)
Long-term service temperature: 450°C; short-term maximum temperature: 500°C, far superior to TC4 (350°C)
Tensile strength at 400°C: ≥780 MPa; excellent creep resistance; no plastic deformation under long-term loading
High temperature fatigue strength: ≥450 MPa (400°C, 10⁷ cycles), suitable for high-frequency vibration conditions in engines
2. Ultra-high specific strength, extreme weight reduction
Density: 4.45 g/cm³ (only 56% of steel); Tensile strength: ≥1030 MPa (age-hardened condition)
Specific strength (strength / density): 231 MPa·cm³/g, twice that of aluminum alloys and 1.5 times that of alloy steels
Replacing 30CrMnSiA steel reduces weight by 35%+, significantly improving aircraft fuel efficiency and payload capacity
3. Corrosion resistance under all operating conditions, long service life
Resistant to salt spray, seawater, and humid-hot environments: corrosion rate **<0.001 mm/a**, requiring no additional coating protection
Resistant to corrosion from jet fuel, hydraulic oil, and acidic/alkaline media, eliminating rust, oxidation, and flaking issues
Lifespan in marine and chemical environments is 3–5 times that of stainless steel, reducing maintenance and replacement costs
4. Excellent processability, suitable for precision manufacturing
Can be forged, rolled, CNC-machined, and welded without cracking or chipping, suitable for complex structural components
Ultrasonic testing (UT) per AMS 2631B: Defects ≤ Φ0.8 mm equivalent flat-bottomed hole, meeting aerospace-grade zero-defect requirements
Dimensional accuracy: Diameter tolerance **±0.02 mm**, length tolerance **±1 mm**, suitable for high-precision assembly
