MASAHIKO IKEDA, SHIN-YA KOMATSU, ISAO SOWA, and MITSUO NIINOMI The aging behavior of the Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy quenched from 1033 K was investigated by employing electrical resistivity () and Vickers hardness (HV) measurements, optical microscopy (OM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Upon aging at 573 K, the value at room-and liquid-nitrogen temperatures initially increased to 120 and 30 ks, respectively, and decreased with continued aging time. The HV value started to increase from 0.06 ks and the isothermal phase was identified at 300 ks of aging by XRD. On aging at 773 K, an incubation period of 6 ks was observed for the change at both temperatures, following which decreased. An incubation period for the HV change was extended up to 12 ks, and then HV increased. Precipitated ␣ was observed and identified by OM and XRD, respectively, whereas no reflections of isothermal phase were identified during the whole aging time at 773 K. The upper-limit temperature of isothermal precipitation is situated at around 673 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
