Einfluß des Gefügezustandes auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften von (α + β)- Titanlegierungen

Influence of Microstructure on Mechanical Properties of (α + β)-Ti-Alloys The amount of α- and β-phase in (α + β)-Titanium alloys for example in the alloy TiAl6 V4 may be altered to a large extend by annealing procedures. In the alloy TiAl6 V4 each temperature corresponds to a certain amount of each of these phases, the composition of which is also dependent on annealing temperature. Above about 970 °C the homogeneous β-phase appears. Additions of Iron, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen have a great influence on the transition temperature and the distribution of the α- and β-phase. There is a great influence of the distribution of the phases on the mechanical properties. The β-phase and the α-solid solution can be quenched from high temperature and decomposed at a lower temperature, so that intermediate phases as ω from β and α₂ from α may be precipitated. The α-solid solution is anisotropic so that texturized samples have different properties in various directions. Based on these fundamental aspects it is shown to what extend these microstructures may influence the mechanical properties especially the fatigue behaviour of (α + β)-Ti-alloys.
