This specification establishes requirements for titanium forgings of any shape or form from which finished parts are to be made. (See 8.3, 8.5.4, and 8.7). These forgings are used typically in the manufacture of high-performance parts when control of short-transverse tensile, fracture toughness, tensile creep, or tensile rupture is required, but usage is not limited to such applications.
Rationale: This standard is being reviewed as a part of the SAE's five year review policy. The committee will look at possible changes and potential updates through the document.
