Solid Metal Induced Embrittlement (SMIE) is caused by a specific combination of a susceptible alloy, tensile stress and a solid metal. Solid copper is commonly used in various manufacturing processes, e.g. in welding electrodes and clamping fixtures, during the manufacturing and handling of titanium alloy parts for the aerospace industry. An initial study indicated that copper in contact with titanium could lead to SMIE and was the reason for initiating the current work. Three titanium alloys; Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo and Ti-6Al-4V, have been evaluated with respect to SMIE in contact with copper. The evaluation was carried out by using a modified U-bend test method adapted from SAE ARP 1795, a standard used for Stress-Corrosion Cracking (SCO evaluation of titanium alloys in contact with cleaning solutions. Gold was also investigated in order to validate the reliability of the test method since it has been reported that titanium alloys undergo SMIE in contact with solid gold. The results show that both Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo are susceptible to SMIE in contact with copper whereas SMIE was not observed with Ti-6Al-4V. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
