SHEET TENSILE PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM ALLOYS AS AFFECTED BY TEXTURE

Abstract

A study was carried out on the effect of specimen orientation on the sheet tensile properties of several titanium alloys. For these alloys, chemical analysis, microstructure, X-ray pole figures, and sheet tensile properties were determined at 10-degree increments from the rolling to the transverse direction. In addition to the conventional yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation values, strain gages were used to determine Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. A study of plastic anisotropy was also made. It is shown that several types of textures exist in these alloys and the characteristics of the mechanical properties are anisotropic and related to the texture type. A simple approximation of the anisotropic behavior patterns can be understood by relating these patterns to single-crystal properties.
