The orthorhombic 00 martensite was formed in Ti-8 mass%Mo alloy by quenching from 1223 K. The purpose of this study was to investigate phase transformation of the 00 martensite structure by isothermal aging. In differential scanning calorimetry curve of the quenched specimen, an exothermic peak that indicated decomposition from the 00 martensite to and phases was observed near 780 K, so that isothermal aging was performed at 723 K and 923 K for 9.0 ks. Optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were performed to these specimens. Band-like products that were composed of the single variant of ! phase were observed in the quenched 00 martensite structure. On the other hand, ð111Þ 00 twins were observed in the 723 K-aged 00 martensite structure. The quenched 00 martensite structure indicated low elastic incline and good ductility, whereas the 723 K-aged 00 martensite structure indicated high yield stress and brittleness. It was pointed out that the ! products were formed to relax the volume expansion from the phase to the 00 martensite, and the ð111Þ 00 twins were formed during the isothermal aging at 723 K with the extinction of the ! products.
The orthorhombic a″martensite was formed in Ti 8 massMo alloy by quenching from 1223 K. The purpose of this study was to investigate phase transformation of the a″martensite structure by isothermal aging. In differential scanning calorimetry curve of the quenched specimen, an exothermic peak that indicated decomposition from the a″martensite to a and b phases was observed near 780 K, so that isothermal aging was performed at 723 K and 923 K for 9.0 ks. Optical microscopy, X ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were performed to these specimens. Band like products that were composed of the single variant of v phase were observed in the quenched a″martensite structure. On the other hand, (111)a″twins were observed in the 723 K aged a″martensite structure. The quenched a″martensite structure indicated low elastic incline and good ductility, whereas the 723 K aged a″martensite structure indicated high yield stress and brittleness. It was pointed out that the v products were formed to relax the volume expansion from the b phase to the a″martensite, and the (111)a″twins were formed during the isothermal aging at 723 K with the extinction of the v products.
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.
