Abstract
An optical mount part having a body that includes a composite of a titanium-zirconium-niobium alloy. The titanium-niobium-zirconium alloy includes titanium, about 13.5 to about 14.5 wt. % zirconium, and about 18 to about 19 weight % (wt. %) niobium. The titanium-niobium-zirconium alloy has a congruent melting temperature of about 1750 to about 1800° Celsius (° C.).
Claims4
An optical mount part comprising:
- a body formed partially of a composite alloy, wherein the composite alloy comprises:
- about 13.5 to about 14.5 wt. % zirconium;
- about 18 to about 19 wt. % niobium;
- and
- titanium, wherein titanium makes up a majority of the composite alloy;
- wherein the composite alloy has a congruent melting temperature of about 1750 to about 1800° Celsius (° C.);
- wherein the body also includes a second metallic alloy and the body includes a gradient of the composite alloy and the second metallic alloy along the body.
