Abstract
In Russia functional blades of low-pressure cylinders (LPC) are produced from single-phase titanium alloys. These blades do not meet the strict requirements currently imposed on their material because the length of the blades has increased. In foreign countries such blades are preferentially produced from a biphase Ti - 6% Al - 4% V alloy. This alloy possesses high adaptability to manufacturing and a good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. A domestic counterpart of the Ti - 6% Al - 4% V alloy is VT6. The present article is devoted to the possibility of its use for functional blades of LPC.
