Influence of Fine-Scale Alpha Precipitation on the Mechanical Properties of the Beta Titanium Alloy Beta-21S

Mechanical response of β -21S alloy microstructures with fine-scale and coarser alpha phase was compared via microstructural and mechanical characterization. Results indicate that work-hardening behavior of β -21S is a strong function of alpha size scale. Specimens with fine-scale alpha exhibited su...

Zusammenfassung:Mechanical response of β -21S alloy microstructures with fine-scale and coarser alpha phase was compared via microstructural and mechanical characterization. Results indicate that work-hardening behavior of β -21S is a strong function of alpha size scale. Specimens with fine-scale alpha exhibited substantially higher strengths (~1200 MPa) compared to those containing coarser alpha precipitates (~950 MPa). Furthermore, reasonable tensile elongation values, ~8 pct, to failure could be achieved for these high strengths, provided grain boundary fracture can be limited.
