Mechanical Properties of Titanium Alloys at Operating and Pressure Shaping Temperatures Depending on the Aluminum and Molybdenum Equivalents

Abstract

The mechanical properties of different classes of titanium alloys have been compared during tensile tests and upset tests in the temperature range of 20-1200 °C. It has been established that at temperatures of 20–500 °C, the maximum strength is observed for the α+β-transition alloys, and at 600–800 °C – for heat-resistant near α-and α+β-alloys. At temperatures exceeding 900 °C and up to the polymorphic transformation point, the softening of titanium alloys is mainly defined by the content of α-stabilizers and neutral hardeners. At temperatures above the polymorphic transformation point, the tensile strength does not depend on the aluminum and molybdenum equivalents.
