PARTITION OF SOLUBLE CARBON IN Ti-6Al-4V ALLOY. Period Covered: February 1, 1956 to February 28, 1957
The mechanism by which alpha-beta Ti alloys are embrittled by small amounts of interstitial-type solutes such as N, O, and C can not be fully understood until more is known of the microdistribution of these dissolved impurities in the two-phase alloys. This report describes the results of an investigation of possible means for determining the micro-distribution of these impurities, particularly in the more complex alloys. A useful method was developed for measuring microdistribution of solutes in alloys. This method was completely independert of the presence of other solute elements, whether interstitial or substitutional. In addition, some information is presented regarding the use of microautoradiographic techniques to study the microdistribution of the interstitial type solutes in two-phase Ti alloys. (auth)
