Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (UNS designation R56410), also known as Ti 10-2-3, is a
non-ferrous
In metallurgy, non-ferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not contain iron (allotropes of iron, ferrite, and so on) in appreciable amounts.
Generally more costly than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable proper ...
