RESEARCH ON STRAIN AGING EFFECTS IN TITANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4209928
The effects of varying interstitial element content (oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen) on the tensile properties of an alpha-beta titanium alloy, Ti-140A, were determined at test temperatures ranging from room temperature to above 1000 deg F and at strain rates from 0.05 to 19,000 in./in./min. The stress rupture properties of such alloys and similar interstitial bearing modifications of an alpha alloy, A110AT, were also determined at 400 to 1000 deg F. The tensile properties of the alpha-beta modifications were strongly dependent on the nitrogen content alone, while the appearance of a strain rate dependent high temperature embrittlement in an alloy modification heat was governed by the identity of the principal interstitial present.
