The mechanical properties of a rapidly quenched Ti2AlNb-based alloy obtained by extraction of a hanging melt drop in the initial state and after heat treatment are investigated. It is stated that the rapidly quenched alloy has low tensile elongation, high strength and hardness, and a mechanism of brittle fracture during deformation. Heat treatment allows increasing the value of tensile elongation, reduces hardness, and results in tough fracture during deformation.
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.
