Research and Development on Titanium Alloys

Abstract

Progress is reported in the development of titanium alloys. During the period reported, titanium binary alloys of germanium and nickel were studied, as well as titanium-molybdenum and titanium-manganese ternary alloys. Carbon, copper, chromium, manganese, iron, and cobalt were added to the titanium-molybdenum binary alloys, and nitrogen, copper, molybdenum and cobalt were added to the titanium-manganese alloys. The alloys were tested in both the as-hot-rolled temper and after aging the hot-rolled sheet four hours at 780 deg F. Tensile strengths and elongations for various alloys are listed. Some of the alloys were tested after solution heat treatment at 1600 deg F. Tests were also completed as "hot pressed" crucibles of tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, and zirconium carbide as refractories for melting titanium. Melts were made in graphic crucibles lined with tantalum carbide and tungsten boride.
