Mechanical Properties of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr Alloys with Low Young’s Modulus

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work investigates the mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys containing large amount of Zr. We focuses on the effect of the varying alloy composition on the microstructure, the Young’s modulus, the deformation mechanism and the deformation behavior. Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys show much low Young’s modulus in the narrow composition range for Cr but wide for Zr. The Young’s modulus of Ti-2Cr-6Sn-xZr (x=5~60mass%) alloy decreases with increasing Zr and shows the minimum value of 41GPa in Ti-2Cr-6Sn-45Zr alloy. The alloys with low Young’s modulus consist in meta-stable β phase. The composition of the meta-stable β phase is close to the transition where the quenched microstructure transits from martensite to meta-stable β phase. Ti-2Cr-6Sn-45Zr alloy with lowest Young’s modulus show the super-elastic property.
