Strain energy consideration of martensitic transformation in titanium alloys. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7300036
Total strain energy of bcc to hcp martensitic transformation in several titanium alloys has been evaluated. Its minimum is assumed to dictate the characteristics of a transformation product, and various features of Ti alloy martensites have been deduced. This analysis considered both elastic strain energy originated from the transformation strain and plastic relaxation strain in relief of high internal stresses.
