 | Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti-6242 / UNS R54620)is a near-alpha titanium alloy specifically formulated for high-temperature service up to 500°C (930°F), offering an exceptional combination of creep resistance, high strength, and good toughness. Its relatively low density (4.54 g/cm³) makes it particularly attractive for weight-critical moving components in aerospace, power generation, and motorsport sectors. The AMS 4976 specification covers a Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (UNS R54620) alloy in the form of forgings 3.000 inches (76.20 mm) and under in nominal diameter or least distance between parallel sides and 9 in2 (58 cm²) and under in cross-sectional area and forging stock of any size. The material specification also calls out Solution and Precipitation Heat Treated condition also known as Annealed state. |

Professional Heat Treatment Process & Mechanical ParametersTi6242 titanium forgings can be further strengthened through standardized quenching and aging (STA) heat treatment based on the annealed state, achieving graded mechanical performance for extreme working conditions. For 120mm diameter forgings, the industrial standard heat treatment process adopts 980°C/1h/Air cooling + 593°C/8h/Air cooling. After professional STA treatment, the material delivers superior and stable mechanical properties: room-temperature tensile strength reaches 980 MPa, high-temperature strength maintains nearly 700 MPa at 480°C, and the elongation rate stays above 12%, fully complying with strict aerospace high-temperature durability and load-bearing standards.
