The effect of the oxygen content and the annealing temperature on the tensile behavior of the Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-(0.1~0.5)O alloy was investigated. The tensile properties were dependent on the volume fraction of the microstructure constituents, i.e. the equixed α, equixed β and lamellar α. The results showed that the O-partitioned equixed α had a much higher strength compared to the equixed β. The strength of the lamellar α increased with increasing the annealing temperature because the O content of the lamellar α increased. Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-0.3O alloy annealed to 900 o C where the volume fraction of lamellar α was the highest exhibited an excellent combination of the strength (1198.5 MPa) and ductility (27.5%). The effect of the lamellar α on the ductility was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
