Product Overview
Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V wire is a near-alpha titanium alloy wire developed for elevated-temperature aerospace service, offering good strength retention and oxidation resistance compared with general-purpose alpha-beta alloys. It is commonly used in high-temperature structures and engine-adjacent components where low density, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance are required. Wire supply is typically used for formed parts, retainers, and specialty hardware depending on diameter and condition.

Notes and Precautions
- Near-alpha alloys are often selected for elevated-temperature stability; confirm service temperature range and allowable data before final selection.
- Titanium wire must be kept clean; avoid oil, moisture, and fingerprints for welding or high-integrity applications.
- If welding is required, use strict inert gas shielding and follow your approved WPS to prevent contamination and embrittlement.
