Titaniums heat cycle resistance?
(OP)
Can Titanium withstand 16000 deg. heat cycles for any period of time? This is for a Turbo housing bolts that secure the turbine housing to the exhuast manifold. How long will it last before material failure?





RE: Titaniums heat cycle resistance?
In any case, in either scale (C or F), no: all the Ti alloys are within or above their annealing range by 1600 F, and will be useless as fasteners at that temperature. Most Ti alloys have useful strength only up to 800 F or so. Use a high-temperature "superalloy".
