EFFECT OF AGING TEMPERATURE AND TIME ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM ALLOY 6AL-6V-2SN,

Abstract

A series of tests were conducted to determine the effect of aging temperature and time on the mechanical properties of titanium alloy 6Al-6V-2Sn. The aging temperature were varied from 900 F to 1100 F and the aging time at each temperature varied from 4 to 32 hours. The solution temperatures and time were held constant. The results show that in general, as aging temperature and/or aging time increases, yield and tensile strengths decrease, while elongation, reduction of area, and Charpy V-notch impact strength increase.
