Reduction of Elastic Modulus of Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-4V by Quenching

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of nanoindentation techniques enhances the capabilities of qualitative analysis of elasto-plastic characteristics, especially, estimating mechanical properties of relatively small specimens in their surface layers. The results are in agreement with macromethods, which gather the information over the higher volume of the material. It was confirmed, that hardening of double phase Ti-6Al-4V alloy by quenching from beta temperatures (above beta-transus), reduces the elastic modulus by about 8 % due to increased ratio of low-modulus beta phase from 8 to 34 %.
