The application of titanium and titanium alloys in the Russian aviation industry

In October 1957, the world’s first artificial earth satellite Sputnik1 was successfully launched in Russia, creating a new era of human spaceflight. There are many examples of Russian titanium applications in aerospace engineering. Such as "Energy-Blizzard" and "Peace-1" , "Progress", "Venus", "Lunar" spacecraft are widely used titanium and titanium alloy materials, using OT4 alloy plates to make the liquid fuel rocket engine combustion chamber and the "Peace-1" orbital station docking Use OT4-1 alloy to make engine hanger parts, fuel tanks, pipe joints and brackets, etc. BT5-1 and ПT3B alloys are used to make containers-booster system accumulators and cryogenic liquid storage tanks, BT5-1 alloy It is also used to manufacture the impeller of liquid hydrogen transfer pump. In addition, TH1 alloy is also used as antenna, push rod, contactor and aerospace shock absorption parts.
