DIN 17566-1968
DIN 17566-1968 is a German standard for titanium iron (FeTi). Titanium iron is an alloy of iron, titanium, and other elements. It has a number of commercial applications and is used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries.
The 1968 version of the standard was released by Deutsche Industrie Normen, or DIN, a German standards organization. The standard covers the properties of FeTi, including its composition, mechanical properties, and welding characteristics.
The standard states that the composition of FeTi must contain a minimum of 80% iron, 13.5% titanium, and 6.0% of other elements. The other elements must include at least 0.50% carbon, 0.12% manganese, and 0.12% silicon. It also requires a maximum of 1.50% carbon and up to 0.50% of other elements. The exact composition may vary depending on the application for which the FeTi will be used.
The mechanical properties specified in the standard are tensile strength, ultimate strength, and elongation. Tensile strength is the amount of force required to pull the FeTi apart. Ultimate strength measures how much force the FeTi can withstand before it breaks. Elongation is a measure of how much the FeTi can be stretched or compressed before it fails.
The standard also covers the weldability of FeTi. It states that the weld joint of FeTi should be treated with an annealing process after welding in order to maintain the mechanical properties of the weld.
In addition, the standard specifies the type of corrosion resistance FeTi has. This includes corrosion resistance to oxidizing, acidic, and alkaline environments. It also provides guidelines for proper heat treatment to ensure the properties of FeTi are maintained.
DIN 17566-1968 is an important standard for titanium iron. It outlines the composition and mechanical properties of FeTi and provides guidelines for the proper use and treatment of the material. This standard allows manufacturers and engineers to maintain the integrity and quality of FeTi during the manufacturing process.
