Aged Titanium 6-6-2

Aged titanium 6-6-2 is titanium 6-6-2 in the aged (precipitation hardened) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare aged titanium 6-6-2 to: wrought titaniums (top), all titanium alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
