Tensile Strength-Hardness Correlation for Titanium Alloys

Abstract

This investigation was concerned with the establishment of a correlation between tensile strength and hardness for titanium alloys. Materials of current interest were considered and tested over a fairly wide property range. Tensile and hardness properties were obtained as a function of testing temperature, heat treatment, and section size of material. Data were also obtained from a literature survey. As a result of the findings, a correlation was established between tensile strength and hardness for stable alpha-beta alloys. It does not apply for metastable alpha-beta alloys nor does it adequately define data in all-beta alloys. In addition, a hardness correlation was established between Vickers and Rockwell C for the stable alpha-beta alloys.
