EFFECT OF PRIOR CREEP ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A HIGH-STRENGTH HEAT- TREATABLE TITANIUM ALLOY, Ti-16V-2.5Al. Period covered : July 8, 1958 to March 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4192540
The effect of creep to 2% in 10 or 100 hours at temperatures from 6OO to 900 deg F was determined on the tension, compression, and tension-impact properties of Ti-- 16V-2.5Al at room temperature or the exposure temperature. Prior creep at 600 deg F raised ultimate tensile and yield strength. Lesser changes were found at higher temperatures. Changes in properties are attributed to a combination of stress-accelerated age-strengthening and a Bauschinger effect. (auth)
