Effect of Carbon Addition on the Microstructure and Properties of Unalloyed Titanium

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of carbon additions on the microstructure and properties of unalloyed titanium with 0.2 and 0.5 wt. % C has been studied. Carbon has been found to appear as TiC carbide in these alloys. Its presence translates into increase in allotropic transformation temperature as well as hardness and strength properties of alloys at the expense of reduction in its ductility. It has been demonstrated that these alloys can be subject to hot deformation, and with low carbon content also to cold deformation, and additionally strengthened by solution treatment.
