Cyclic deformation behavior of high-purity titanium single crystals: Part II. Microstructure and mechanism

A Novel Method of Bending Crystals to Log Spiral Shape

Crystals bent to logarithmic spirals have been used in applications where large acceptance of divergent x-rays from a small source is needed [1]. Small acceptances can be easily handled with cylindrically bent crystal. In cases where larger acceptances are needed differential bending may be adequate [2]. However, the largest acceptance is obtained from a flat crystal plate when bent into the lo...

Analysis of bending strength of porous titanium processed by space holder method

Porous titanium specimens have been produced by means of the space holder method. Titanium grade 3 (TiCP3) has been used as material and ammonium bicarbonate as spacer. Process parameters (compaction pressure, metal grain size range and spacer volume) influence on porosity morphology and distribution and bending strength has been analysed. The results denote an important loss of strength when c...

Corrosion behavior of pure titanium and titanium alloys in fluoride-containing solutions.

The effects of fluoride concentrations and pH on the corrosion behavior of pure titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys and a new Ti alloy adding palladium, which is expected to promote a repassivation of Ti were examined by anodic polarization and corrosion potential measurements. The amount of dissolved Ti was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. The surface of the specime...

Effect of Low Cycle Fatigue Predamage on Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of TC21 Titanium Alloy

The effect of low cycle fatigue (LCF) predamage on the subsequent very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior is investigated in TC21 titanium alloy. LCF predamage is applied under 1.8% strain amplitude up to various fractions of the expected life and subsequent VHCF properties are determined using ultrasonic fatigue tests. Results show that 5% of predamage insignificantly affects the VHCF limit du...
