The Study of the Complex Mechanical Properties of Rolled Bars of VT6 Alloy as a Function of Chemical Composition and Structure Type

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of statistical tests, carried out to identify the mechanical properties of Ø 16-150 mm VT6 titanium alloy bars, as a function of their post-annealing chemical composition and structure. It is shown that the high variation of mechanical properties may be, due to fluctuations in the grade composition and structure type. 50% to 60% of variations in strength properties are due to composition + structure co-effects. To improve the stability of such properties, the paper identifies maximum permissible total fluctuations in the chemical composition in terms of aluminum/molybdenum equivalents of alloying elements and impurities. The research team has fitted the regression dependencies for evaluating the mean values of the mechanical properties of Ø 16-60 mm VT6 bars, as a function of the structure type and aluminum/molybdenum equivalents of the alloying elements and impurities.
