Applications
editMarkets for ATI 425 Alloy include aerospace, defense, industrial, medical and recreation. The corrosion resistance of the ATI 425 Alloy to saltwater environments also makes it a candidate for marine-related applications.[1]
Specifically, the ATI 425 Alloy is designed for:[3]
- Wing sheets
- Defense rotor aircraft
- Ground vehicles
- Soldier support and protection
- Weapons systems
- Naval systems
- Boiler/pressure vessel applications
- Additional naval applications, including shiphold structural materials; armor; doors, hatches and bulkheads; and piping
- Golf clubs (Titleist TSI)
The ATI 425 Alloy was used on the Phoenix Mars Lander, which was launched on August 4, 2007.[4]
