Mechanical Properties of Elementally Blended Ti-6Al-4V

Abstract

This work was undertaken for the purpose of establishing mechanical properties data on Elementally Blended Titanium/6 Aluminum/ 4 Vanadium manufactured by an innovative powder metallurgy process. Powders from a master alloy of Aluminum and Vanadium comprising 10 percent of the total weight was blended with commercially available powder from Titanium sponge fines. This blend of powders was then cold pressed, sintered and hot isostatically pressed. Details of the processing are considered proprietary. Comparative costs for this material are substantially less than powders made from pre-alloyed billets such as Rotating Electrode Process (REP) titanium. Four different types of evaluations were preformed on the Titanium alloys/Aluminum/Vanadium alloys tension, fatigue (smooth and notched), crack growth rate, and fracture toughness.
