Factors affecting stress corrosion resistance of the Ti-8Mo-8V-2Fe-3Al metastable beta titanium alloy

Journal Article · · Corrosion; (United States)
The stress corrosion resistance of the metastable beta alloy Ti--8Mo--8V--2Fe--3Al extruded and heat treated to high strength levels is examined. Salt water K/sub ISCC/ data are presented for both solution treated and aged (STA) condition and the direct age (DA) conditions. It is shown that the better stress corrosion resistance is exhibited by the DA material. Further improvements in the stress corrosion resistance of DA material are realized with forged product that has undergone a large amount of reduction. Fractographs and micrographs are presented to support the above observations.
