DEVELOPMENT OF A STABLE BETA TITANIUM ALLOY

Abstract

Research has progressed toward the objective of developing stable-beta titanium sheet alloys capable of being precipitation hardened to high strengths. Screening criteria are rollability, and response to heat treatment. Additions of 12.5 and 15% Cr and Mn were made to the three base alloys, Ti- 17V-3Al, Ti-8V-8Mo-3Al, and Ti-15Mo-3Al. All such alloys were found to have poor fabrication characteristics, and also low ductilities in both the solution treated and aged conditions.
