STRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN OXIDIZED ALPHA TITANIUM CRYSTALS.
Abstract
A strain analysis of oxidized alpha titanium crystals based on the X-ray divergent beam is carried out. The strains caused by the presence of oxygen atoms in octahedral holes are highly asymmetric at 5 at. % oxygen. At 12 at. % oxygen the strain distribution approaches tetragonality with the maximum principal strain nearing the direction of the c-axis of the Ti lattice. For this oxygen content the over-all strain configuration of the crystal is attributed to the long-range order of the oxygen atoms in alternating layers. The large hardening effects associated with the oxidation of alpha titanium is ascribed to the combined effect of ordering and of concomitant asymmetric strains. (Author)
