Abstract:
This invention relates to novel horseshoes exhibiting outstanding wearability. The horseshoes of this invention are made from titanium alloy compositions which provide a desirable combination of mechanical properties (e. g. , high strength, flexibility, resiliency, good wearing qualities, abrasion resistance, workability, lightness, moldability) that makes them particularly suitable for the production of horseshoes. The preferred titanium alloy composition for making the horseshoes of this invention is titanium alloy consisting essentially of titanium, aluminum in an amount of 6% by weight and vanadium in an amount of 4% by weight.
