Working with Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed
Is Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si easy to machine?
Machine like a tough near-alpha Ti: rigid setups, sharp uncoated-carbide or PVD-coated tools, low surface speed (~20–40 m/min), heavy positive feed, flood high-pressure coolant, never dwell — work-hardened smearing and chip fires are the main risks.
Can Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si be welded?
GTAW, plasma, electron-beam and laser welding are practical with full inert-gas or vacuum shielding and clean surfaces; hydrogen/oxygen pickup must be avoided and a 540–650 °C post-weld stress relief is normal.
Can Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si be formed, bent or molded?
Cold formability is poor; hot form or hot size at 700–870 °C (forge below the ~995–1010 °C beta transus for alpha/beta structure), then chemically mill or grind off alpha case.
What surface finishes work on Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si?
Grit-blast/pickle to remove alpha case, then conversion anodise (AMS 2488) or shot-peen for fatigue; thermal-spray, nitride or DLC coatings are used for wear and galling since titanium galls against itself.

Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed is typically used for turbine engine compressor discs, compressor blades and blisks, engine casings and spacer rings, forged rings and shafts for engines, high-temperature airframe structure and sheet-metal exhaust and nozzle structures. In short: creep resistant to 510 °C; silicon-modified Ti-6242; hot-section engine alloy.
What is the yield strength of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed?
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed has a typical yield strength of 910 MPa (132 ksi) and a tensile strength of 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) — stronger than 84% of titanium grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 7 listed tempers.
Is Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (19/100, worse than 78% of titanium grades). Machine like a tough near-alpha Ti: rigid setups, sharp uncoated-carbide or PVD-coated tools, low surface speed (~20–40 m/min), heavy positive feed, flood high-pressure coolant, never dwell — work-hardened smearing and chip fires are the main risks.
Can Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated good (65/100). GTAW, plasma, electron-beam and laser welding are practical with full inert-gas or vacuum shielding and clean surfaces; hydrogen/oxygen pickup must be avoided and a 540–650 °C post-weld stress relief is normal.
What surface finishes work on Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed?
Grit-blast/pickle to remove alpha case, then conversion anodise (AMS 2488) or shot-peen for fatigue; thermal-spray, nitride or DLC coatings are used for wear and galling since titanium galls against itself.
Can Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed be formed, bent or molded?
Cold formability is poor; hot form or hot size at 700–870 °C (forge below the ~995–1010 °C beta transus for alpha/beta structure), then chemically mill or grind off alpha case.
What is the maximum service temperature of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed?
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Mill Annealed is rated for continuous use to about 480°C (896 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Duplex Annealed and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA?
Duplex Annealed is the default condition — standard stocked condition for bar, billet, forgings and sheet: balanced strength, ductility and creep life. STA: choose when peak room- and mid-temperature strength is needed in thinner sections, accepting lower toughness. Yield strength is 930 MPa in Duplex Annealed versus 1,000 MPa in STA.
