Tensile and creep properties of titanium--vanadium, titanium--molybdenum, and titanium--niobium alloys

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4190248

Tensile and creep properties of experimental beta-titanium alloys were determined. Titanium--vanadium alloys had substantially greater tensile and creep strength than the titanium--niobium and titanium--molybdenum alloys tested. Specific tensile strengths of several titanium--vanadium--aluminium--silicon alloys were equivalent or superior to those of commercial titanium alloys to temperatures of 650$sup 0$C. The Ti--50V--3Al--1Si alloy had the best balance of tensile strength, creep strength, and metallurgical stability. Its 500$sup 0$C creep strength was far superior to that of a widely used commercial titanium alloy, Ti--6Al--4V, and almost equivalent to that of newly developed commercial titanium alloys. (auth)
