Investigation of the Influence of Ti-Nb Alloy Composition on the Structure of the Ingots Produced by Arc Melting

Article Preview

Abstract:

The results of investigation of the structure, physical and mechanical properties of the Ti-Nb alloy ingots with different composition obtained by arc melting are presented. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses were used. Microhardness was measured and the Young’s modulus of the alloys was evaluated. When the content of niobium in the alloy changes from 10 to 40 mass.%, phase composition of the alloy varies from α-and α'-phase (10 mass.% of Nb) to α'-, α''- and β-phases (25 mass.% of Nb), to the β-phase (40 mass.% of Nb). The alloy containing 40 mass.% Nb has the lowest Young’s modulus.
