The previous study indicated powder metallurgy (PM) Ti-64 alloys with oxygen showed the increment of not only their tensile strength but elongation. This study investigated the elongation improvement mechanism of Ti-64 alloys with oxygen atoms. The mix of Ti-64 alloy powder and TiO 2 particles (0³0.4 mass%) was used as starting materials and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The following heat treatment in vacuum was applied to sintered materials. ¢ transus temperature increased by oxygen addition because it was one of ¡-phase stabilizer elements. Prior-¢ grains size and aspect ratio of ¡-Ti grains were changed by heat treatment conditions. For example, Ti-64+O alloys after heattreated at ¢-phase temperature range showed acicular ¡-Ti grains with a large aspect ratio (6.1³7.0) although those with heat treatment at ¡+¢phase temperature had ¡-grains with a small aspect ratio of 3.3³4.0. These grain morphology changes strongly depended on the temperature of heat treatment, not oxygen contents. In addition, the latter materials indicated high elongation (16³17%) compared to the former with 9³10%. When Ti-64+O alloy specimens after tensile test were analyzed by SEM-EBSD, Kernel average misorientation (KAM) maps showed many plastic strains induced in small aspect ratio ¡-Ti grains.

This study investigated the elongation improvement mechanism of Ti-64 alloys with oxygen atoms. The elemental mixture of Ti-64 alloy powder and TiO 2 particles (0~0.4 mass%) was used as starting materials, and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The following heat treatment in vacuum was applied to sintered materials. β transus temperature increased by oxygen addition because it was one of α-phase stabilizer elements. Prior-β grains size and aspect ratio of α-Ti grains were changed by heat treatment conditions. For example, Ti-64 + O alloys after heat-treated at β-phase temperature range showed needle-like α-Ti grains with a large aspect ratio (6.1~7.0) although those with heat treatment at α + β-phase temperature had α-grains with a small aspect ratio of 3.3~4.0. These grain morphology changes strongly depended on the heat temperature, not oxygen contents. In addition, the latter materials indicated high elongation (16~17%) compared to the former with 9~10%.

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.
