Yield Strength Phenomenon in Ti-6Al-4V

Abstract

The titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V has a very low yield strength (LYS) when water quenched from 850 C. This LYS is often attributed to the deformation- induced transformation of retained beta to martensite. This report gives evidence that it is not accurate to postulate a TRIP (transformation-induced plasticity) type of mechanism to explain the LYS in the 6-4 alloy.
