| Abstract Scope |
Low-cost alloying elements can help lower the cost of beta-titanium (Ti) alloys, and alloy composition is important for developing desired microstructures during processing. The low-cost alloying elements iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) were added to a base Ti-11at%chromium (Cr) alloy, and an in-situ investigation of the mechanical properties and microstructural evaluation during 400C exposures was conducted. X-ray diffraction revealed that Ti-Cr and Ti-Cr-Fe alloys underwent the beta-to-omega and beta-to-alpha transformations, where the 0.85at% Fe addition reduced the volume fraction of the omega phase. The addition of 5.3at% Al (for the TCA and TCFA alloys) inhibited the beta-to-omega transformation. Resonance ultrasound spectroscopy indicated that the alloys containing the omega phase exhibited an increase in shear modulus of approximately 140%, while the alloys which exhibited only the beta-to alpha phase transformation exhibited an increase of approximately 102%. The kinetics of the phase transformations, which influenced the mechanical properties, will be illustrated. |
