General Characteristics
Titanium alloy, BT16 (Ti - 3Al - 4,5V - 5Mo) was developed by VIAM in 1963 specially for attachment parts. Due to a rather large percentage of β-stabilizers it contains quite a lot of β-phase in the annealed state (35-40%). The annealed strength of the alloy is not very high (about 875 MPa). By hardening and aging it can be over 1400 MPa. The shear resistance after HTMO = 750 MPa.
