Titanium alloy for making a golf club head

Abstract

A titanium alloy for making a gold club head includes aluminum in an amount ranging from 7.8 to 10.0 wt %, molybdenum in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %, vanadium in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %, silicon in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %, and a balance of titanium, based on a total weight of the alloy.

1 . A titanium alloy for making a golf club head, comprising:
 aluminum in an amount ranging from 7.8 to 10.0 wt %;   molybdenum in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %;   vanadium in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %;   silicon in an amount of greater than 0 wt % and not more than 2 wt %; and   a balance of titanium, based on a total weight of said alloy.   
   
   
       2 . The titanium alloy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said alloy has a density ranging from 4.2 to 4.3 g/cm 3 . 
   
   
       3 . The titanium alloy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said aluminum is in an amount of 8 wt %, said molybdenum is in an amount of 1 wt %, said vanadium is in an amount of 1 wt %, and said silicon is in an amount of 1 wt %, based on a total weight of said alloy. 
   
   
       4 . A golf club head made of the titanium alloy of  claim 1 .
