Does anyone know if Ti-6Al-4V can be heat treated to min 180KSI tensile strength?
Thanks

Conventional heat treatment processing limits Ti 6AL-4V to about 160-KSI.
Fastener vendors claim up-to 180 KSI for "titanium bolts"... but, from various discussions... it is obvious they are using a proprietary blend of materials, thermal treatments and strain hardening of the raw-stock to "get there". Conventional machined parts would have to be fabricated from this highly processed raw-stock to have close to this strength... then risk low fracture toughness due to the extreme hardness (there will be a very small difference between FTU & FTY. If You positively need these properties, then talk with titanium fastener manufacturers that claim to have Titanium fasteners performing at the at 180 KSI sstrength level... and have them give you a fabrication proposal.
Note: hogging parts from this material would probably be a nightmare due to the incredibly hard-machining nature of titaniun... agravated by the increased strength levels.
Perhaps another Titanium alloy would be more appropriate for Your needs: there are several "newer" alloys [or with better processing] that have higher properties [+170-KSI] becoming available in plate, sheet & bar.

To go to 180 for titanium it's "usual" to go for 10-2-3, which has a MIL-HDBK-5 (ok, ok, MMPDS) condition of 180 ksi for die-forged material up to 1" thick (S-basis only). This stuff's toughness should be reasonable (40 ksi.sqrt" quoted in MIL-HDBK).

Cold reduction before after solution treating and before aging is not required for 6Al-4V Ti bolt material to achieve 160 ksi UTS. Typical aerospace bolt fabrication practice is to buy annealed material and to solution treat and age "blanks" in-house (after head forming/forging) to 160 ksi. The specifications they procure the material to require "heat treat capability" testing/certification of a sample of the as-shipped raw material after solution treament and aging (with no intermediate cold reduction) to the applicable tensile requirments.
I (like Wil) would be very, very cautious about the toughness of 6AL-4V Ti "pushed" to 180 ksi...

Igearhart: I'm not familiar with 38-6-44. I've got a bit on it in the ASMH (from 1975), but Googling it doesn't yield very much. Any other sources of info?

I sure you intended to write "solution treated and aged" condition, not "solution/annealed" condition.
