Application of Titanium and Titanium Alloys in Japanese Aviation Industry
The history of Japanese application of titanium alloys on rockets can be traced back to 1968. Japanese first experimental satellite "Ohaku" used Ti-2Al-2Mn titanium alloy. Examples of other applications include the front edge of the wing and the clamping of the nozzle. The fracture joints of multi-stage rockets, etc. The low-temperature structural titanium alloy LT700 (Ti-3Al-5Sn-1Mo-0.2Si) developed in Japan has been used to make liquid hydrogen turbo pumps
