Product Overview
Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn wire is a high-strength alpha-beta titanium alloy wire commonly used in aerospace structures and high-performance hardware. It offers higher strength potential than Ti-6Al-4V in many conditions, with good corrosion resistance and heat-treatability. It is typically selected for demanding fastener and structural applications where high strength-to-weight ratio is required.

Notes and Precautions
- This is a heat-treatable alloy; properties depend strongly on condition and heat treatment. Specify required tensile/elongation targets and condition when ordering.
- For welding or critical joining, use strict inert gas shielding and surface preparation to prevent oxygen and nitrogen pickup.
- Do not substitute for Ti-6Al-4V without verifying chemistry, heat treatment response, and design allowables.
