titaniumBeta alloys are potentially useful for several types of nonaerospace military applications. The potential applications to be discussed in this article include armor, body armor, mortar barrels, and missile launch canisters.doi:10.1361/105994905X75457J. C. Fanning...
alloys are reported in Sections 5.2 through 5.5.Titanium is a relatively lightweight, corrosion-resistant structural material that can be strengthenedgreatly through alloying and, in some of its alloys, by heat treatment. Among its advantages for specificapplications are: good strength-to-weight ratio...
