Exploratory Development on Oxidation Behavior of Titanium Alloys under High Heating Rates

Abstract

The initial stages of reaction of unalloyed titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti8Mn, and beta-III titanium alloy specimens with oxygen, nitrogen and atmospheres bearing these gases has been studied over the temperature range from 800 to 1300C. The kinetics of these reactions were analyzed for specimens subjected to linear heating rates in the range from 0.5 to 100C/s. Mathematical techniques were devised for modeling: (1) the oxygen uptake by unalloyed titanium during heating, and (2) the deposition of the chemical heat of reaction into oxidizing substrates.
