ANISOTROPY OF TITANIUM SHEET IN UNIAXIAL TENSION,
Abstract
An investigation of the mechanical anisotropy of titanium sheet alloys was carried out. This experimental survey of the uniaxial tension anisotropic characteristics was executed on a wide variety of alpha, alpha-beta, and beta alloys of both recent and ancient vintage. It was clearly demonstrated that both the elastic and plastic properties were widely varying in anisotropy. Furthermore, it was found that there was a direct correlation between the elastic and plastic anisotropy. Although considerable variation of anisotropy existed for one alloy, there was a tendency for the all-alpha alloys to be highly resistant to thinning. It was found that increased amounts of beta stabilizing elements present in the alloy had a tendency to lower this resistance to thinning. (Author)
