Quenched alloys from the Ti-Nb system are of considerable scientific and applied interest due to properties such as superconductivity, shape memory effect and high damping capacity. In this work, Ti-Nb quenched alloys with 2 wt.% Al and Nb content varying from 15 to 40% were investigated with respect to effects on phase transformations, internal friction and elastic modulus caused by the temperature up to 800°C. The results showed that the internal friction presented peaks and the elastic modulus displayed minimum values with the temperature. These results were associated with phase transformations occurring with increasing temperature.
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.
