Influence of Omega-Phase Precipitation Hardening on the Static and Dynamic Properties of Metastable Beta Ti-Nb-Zr and Ti-Nb-Ta Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of thermomechanical processing on the Ti-21.8Nb-6Zr (TNZ) and Ti-19.7Nb-5.8Ta (TNT) (at%) alloys’ structure, phase composition, mechanical and functional properties is studied. Both alloys possess polygonized dislocation substructure (average subgrain size  100 nm), and manifest superelastic behavior at room temperature and recovery stress generation during constant-strain temperature scanning experiments. After aging treatment, both alloys were -phase precipitation hardened, but their mechanical behavior was impacted differently -- it was detrimental for TNZ and beneficial for TNT. The different impact of aging heat treatment on the mechanical behavior of these alloys is explained by the differences in the -phase nucleation rate, precipitates’ size, shape, volume fraction and distribution, and by their effect on the alloys’ critical stresses and transformation temperatures.
