Mechanical properties of alpha titanium as affected by structure and composition

Abstract

The effects of grain size and shape on alloys of titanium with nitrogen and aluminum have been determined. Increasing α grain size decreases strength and hardness and increases impact resistance. Quenching from the β field produces subgrain markings delineating α plates in Ti-N alloys but not in Ti-Al alloys. This suggests a precipitation from the high nitrogen alloys.
