Abstract

Titanium and its alloys are widely adopted in the aircraft equipment due to the high mechanical durability which remains at high temperatures, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, specific durability, small density and other useful properties. The Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy pipes investigated in this work are used for hydraulic systems of the Boeing planes and the Airbus A320. One of the requirements to these pipes is the coefficient to relative compression (CRC) which characterizes pipes texture. For the correct technological process of pipes production it is necessary to know what texture pipes have exactly on all technological repartitions and how it changes in the course of the production. Pressed billets are used for pipes production.
