Abstract

Titanium alloys containing alpha matrices with various rare earth compound dispersions were prepared by melt extraction. The melt extracted material was HIPped, extruded, and thermally exposed to yield various microstructures including transformed beta and equiaxed alpha. Tensile and creep tests were conducted on material in the different microstructural conditions. Trends in mechanical behavior as a function of alloy chemistry and process history are discussed. The alloys with a transformed beta microstructure had superior creep resistance. Alloys containing dispersoids had better tensile ductilities compared with those which did not contain a dispersoid.

Portions of this work were carried out under Air Force Contract F33615-83-C-5034.
