POSSIBILITIES FOR UTILIZATION OF SECOND-GRADE TITANIUM SPONGE
Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS OF Ti produced from 2 lots of TG-2 sponge showed no significant difference in strength and ductility between the metal prepared from this sponge and that prepared from VT-1 Ti except for a noticeably lower ductility and higher notch sensitivity of Ti melted from TG-2 grade sponge. Cold-rolled and cold-drawn tubes of this Ti had a tensile strength of 72 kg/sq mm and an elongation per unit length of 17 to 19%. It was established that Ti from the sponge TG-2 was of good weldability. The strength of the welded seam always proved greater than that of the base metal. Melting, hot and cold plastic working of metal made from TG-2 sponge may be performed under the same regimes and conditions as those employed for VT-1 titanium. (Author)
