6061 forging stock Ti composition
6061 forging stock Ti composition
(OP)
We buy 6061 forging stock, and a vendor is specifying 0.05% max Ti. Our in-house spec calls out 0.05-0.15%, and the ASM handbook calls out .15%. I know that the Ti helps with grain refinement, but to what extent?
It also helps by reducing problems associated w/overheating, doesn't it?
Will reducing it to .05 max make a major difference in our grain structures and/or mechanical properties?
Thanks
