A high-intensity proton beam exposure with 181 MeV energy has been conducted at Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer facility on various material specimens for accelerator targetry applications, including titanium alloys as a beam window material. The radiation damage level of the analyzed capsule was 0.25 dpa at beam center region with an irradiation temperature around 120 °C. Tensile tests showed increased hardness and a large decrease in ductility for the dual α+β-phase Ti-6Al-4V Grade-5 and Grade-23 extra low interstitial alloys, with the near α-phase Ti-3Al-2.5V Grade-9 alloy still exhibiting uniform elongation of a few % after irradiation. Transmission Electron Microscope analyses on Ti-6Al-4V indicated clear evidence of a high-density of defect clusters with size less than 2 nm in each α-phase grain. The β-phase grains did not contain any visible defects such as loops or black dots, while the diffraction patterns clearly indicated ω-phase precipitation in an advanced formation stage. Finally, the radiation-induced ω-phase transformation in the β-phase could lead to greater loss of ductility in Ti-6Al-4V alloys in comparison with Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy with less β-phase.
