ATI 425 Alloy sheet confirmed feasibility to replace Ti 6-4 for the fabrication of SPF complex aerospace parts such as Scuff Plate application – Similar as-SPF mechanical properties – Comparable thinning behavior – Fine Grain Microstructure/Random Crystallographic Texture. Use of ATI 425 Alloy offers potential cost reductions for the fabrication of aerospace parts by SPF/HF technology: – Energy, Productivity, Tooling, Material, Chemicals. Additional cost reductions: – Improved Gauge Tolerance over ground and pickled sheet – Availability of lighter gauges, "Endless" lengths – Exceptional DB capability – Ability to be cold formed – Reduced lead-time.
