In 1959-1961 the US used Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-5Al-2.5Sn titanium alloys to spin the standard M-1 helmet without success, but later switched to Ti-4Al-3Mn titanium alloy with the explosion forming process to achieve success, with a mass of only 0.794kg-1.02kg, in terms of ballistic protection, titanium helmets and steel helmets are the same, but titanium helmets are lighter than standard steel helmets 0.45kg.
The United States uses 25.4mm thick plates made of 10 layers of nylon and 1 layer of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn titanium alloy sheet to manufacture bulletproof vests, which have a mass of only 3.86kg and can protect against artillery shells, grenades and mine fragments, but not against 7.62mm gunfire.
The muzzle brake of the Russian Union 152mm double-barrelled self-propelled gun is made of titanium alloy. It has two barrels, which are used alternately when firing, with fast firing speed and strong firepower, up to 15-18 rounds per minute; it is mobile and flexible, with strong cross-country capability, and also has strong survivability.
China has been studying the application of titanium alloys in the manufacture of weapons since the 1970s, with remarkable results. Titanium alloy is used to manufacture anti-tank missile rudder and frame, it is a Ti-0.2Pd alpha alloy, in the annealed state of application; 85 type anti-aircraft machine gun retractor manufactured with titanium alloy achieved very good results, later, with fine casting titanium alloy achieved better results, material utilization rate from 18% to 94%, but also save a lot of cutting and machining costs, two birds with one stone. gr5 is a commonly used excellent performance Ti-6Al-4V alloy, alpha + beta type, in annealed state applications. A light flamethrower made of titanium with a range of up to 70m, a close range light weapon, lighter than steel by more than 3kg, can be prepared from industrially pure titanium, Ti-3Al-2.5V and other alloys.
