This specification covers a titanium alloy in the form of sheet, strip, and plate.

These products have been used typically for parts requiring a combination of weldability, ductility, and good notch-toughness down to -423 \mDF (-253 \mDC), but usage is not limited to such applications. Certain processing procedures and service conditions may cause those products to become subject to stress-corrosion cracking; SAE ARP 982 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
