HEAT TREATMENT RESPONSE, MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND STABILITY OF TITANIUM SHEET ALLOYS. Period Covered: May 1956 to August 1958

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4260773
The effect of various heat treatments on the mechani cal properties of two titanium alloys was determined. The two types of heat treatments utilized were: (1) solution treatment and water quench, (2) solution treatment, water quench, and age. The alloys, Ti-4Al 3Mo -1V and Ti- 15V-2.5Al, were investigated in the form of approximately 0.040" sheet. Three interstitial content levels of each alloy were investigated. Beta transus temperatures were determined for the alloys. Room temperature mechanical properties were evaluated for the solution treated and aged conditions of the alloys for both standard and notched tensile configurations. Elevated temperature tensile properties were determined. The effect of deformation, via two degrees of rolling or stretching, on aging characteristics was ascertained. Three hundred hour creep tests were conducted at 600 and 800 F. Creep embrittlement was evaluated. A microstructural examination was conducted. Also, the alloy Ti-4Al- 1Pb- 1Sn- 1V- 1Zr was prepared in sheet form, and some of its mechanical properties were evaluated. (auth)
