A Technique for Evaluating Titanium Alloys by Melting, Processing, and Testing Miniature Ingots

摘要

A technique of melting, processing, and testing small (80-gram) rods of titanium alloys was developed. The technique is designed for screening large numbers of alloy formulations to determine those with enough potential for further evaluation. The apparent alloying and microstructural effects and the degree of correlation with plate properties are discussed. (Author)
