CONGRUENTLY MELTING HIGH PURITY TITANIUM ALLOY FOR OPTICAL MOUNTS, FLEXURES, AND STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS REQUIRING COMPLIANCE

摘要

A flexure including a bipod strut pair extending from a base and a titanium-zirconium-niobium alloy, which includes titanium, about 13.5 to about 14.5 wt. % zirconium, and about 18 to about 19 weight % (wt. %) niobium. The titanium-zirconium-niobium alloy has a congruent melting temperature of about 1750 to about 1800° Celsius (° C.).
