An investigation of machining induced residual stresses on Grade 4 and 5 titanium alloysEdkins, Kyle Douglas 18 July 2013 (has links)
M.Ing. (Mechanical Engineering) / Titanium and its alloys have the potential to serve as a strategic economic driver of the South African economy. The manufacture and use of high strength, lightweight materials such as titanium alloys have become of great importance in the aerospace and biomedical industries over the past few decades. The manufacturing costs of titanium alloy components however, are considered high due to the poor machinability of the material. Furthermore, as with all metals during machining, surface residual stresses are induced into the material. These are of particular interest in the aerospace industry as they can be either detrimental or beneficial to the performance and fatigue life of materials. The aim of this investigation is therefore to examine the effect that machining parameters have on the magnitude, sign and distribution of residual stresses induced in Grade 4 and 5 titanium alloys during high performance machining (turning). The effect of these machining parameters is investigated by residual stress measurements conducted with X-ray diffraction and grain structure analysis of the machined surfaces by optical microscopy. Results show that cutting speed and depth of cut have a significant effect on the residual stresses. At low cutting speeds, the surface residual stresses are largely compressive, becoming more tensile with an increase in cutting speed. An increase in depth of cut also introduces more compressive residual stresses into the material. The microstructural analysis of the alloys shows that grain deformation decreases with an increase in cutting speed and cutting depth.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Additive Manufacturing Titanium Alloys After Thermal ProcessingTanrikulu, Ahmet Alptug 21 December 2017 (has links)
Titanium alloys are widely used for aerospace and biomaterial applications since their high specific strength, and high corrosion resistivity. Besides these properties, titanium is an excellent biocompatible material widely used for internal body implants. Because the products have complex geometries in both applications, Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods have been recently applied for production. AM methods can process a direct 3-D shape of the final product, decrease total production time and cost. However, high residual stress of the final product limits the application of AM components, especially the ones that are exposed to cyclic loading. In the present study, the initial microstructures and impact toughness of Ti6Al4V processed by EBM and CMT, and CP:Ti processed by SLM were experimented. In addition to initial microstructure and impact toughness, their response to different heat treatments were examined. Gleeble® 3500 was used for rapid heat treatment process. The change of mechanical properties due to different heat treatments were monitored with impact tests. Phase transformation kinetics of CP:Ti and Ti6Al4V were investigated with a Differential Scanning Calorimeter at slow heating and cooling rates. Microstructure examination was done with a scanning electron microscope. EBSD data was used to analyze the microstructure behavior. It is observed that toughness of the samples that are produced by powder-based AM methods were improved. Overall, residual stress, strain values, and grain orientation are the key elements that affected impact toughness AM produced components.

Mechanical properties of Nb-Ti composite superconducting wiresLiu, He 15 March 1991 (has links)
Mechanical properties of Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires were tested at
room temperature. The results were analysed using simple composite theory, the rule
of mixtures. The objective is to predict the mechanical properties of Nb-Ti
superconducting composite wires as a function of volume ratio and geometry of the
components, the composite wire size and the effect of heat treatment at final drawing
wire sizes. To understand the mechanical behaviors of the Nb-Ti composite,
mechanical testing of the individual composite components, Nb-Ti filament and copper
matrix, was performed, and the geometry of the composite was also studied. The
results indicate that for the monofilamentary composite simple composite theory with
two components, Nb-Ti filament and copper matrix, can be used as the prediction of
the UTS of the composite. For the multifilamentary composite three components make
up the composites; a high strength Nb-Ti fiber, a low strength, high ductility bulk
copper matrix and a mid-strength (between the Nb-Ti fiber's and bulk copper matrix's)
interfilamentary copper matrix. After heavy cold work the UTS of Nb-Ti filaments and
bulk copper matrix in the composite saturate, while the UTS of the interfilamentary
copper increases as the interfilamentary spacing decreases. The UTS of the
interfilamentary copper matrix as a linear function of the reciprocal of interfilamentary
spacing is found. The controlling parameters in the manufacturing which determine the
mechanical properties of Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires include
superconductor to composite ratio, UTS of the Nb-Ti filament and copper matrix, wire
final drawing size, and geometry of the composite such as size and number of the
filaments, interfilamentary spacing, volume fraction of fringe and core bulk copper in
multifilamentary composites. / Graduation date: 1991

Microstructural banding in thermally and mechanically processed titanium 6242Kansal, Utkarsh 21 January 1992 (has links)
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si specimens were shaped by repeated cycles of heating
(to 954 °C) and hammer or press forging followed by a solution anneal that varied from
968 to 998 °C. The coupons were originally extracted from billets forged below the beta
trans us ( 1009 °C) and slow cooled to ambient temperature. Macroscopic and
microstructural banding is observed in some forged and solution annealed coupons, that
consists of regions of elongated primary alpha. More significant banding is observed
subsequent to annealing at lower temperatures (968 °C), whereas much less microstructural
banding is present after annealing at higher temperatures (998 °C). About the same level of
banding is observed in hammer forged and press forged coupons. The observation of these
bands is significant since they may lead to inhomogeneous mechanical properties.
Specifically, at least some types of banding are reported to affect the high temperature creep
properties of this alloy. The origin of these bands was therefore researched. Classically,
banding in Ti-6242-0.1Si has been regarded as a result of adiabatic shear, chill zone
formation or compositional inhomogeneity. High and low magnification metallography,
electron microprobe analysis and microhardness tests were performed on forged and
annealed specimens in this investigation. The composition inside the bands appears
identical to that outside of the bands. The fraction of primary alpha is also found to be
identical. The bands have higher microhardness. These results suggest that the bands are
not related to composition gradients. The bands also do not appear to be a result of
adiabatic shear or other localized deformation. The bands of this study appear to originate
from the elongated primary alpha microstructure of the forged billet (from which test
coupons were extracted). The deformation of the extracted coupon may be neither fully
homogeneous nor sufficiently substantial and the coupon is only partly statically restored
after a solution anneal. Areas not fully restored appear as "bands" with elongated primary
alpha, that are remnant of the starting billet microstructure. Therefore, a source of banding
in Ti-6242-0.1Si alloy, additional to the classic sources, is evident. This type of banding is
likely removed by relatively high solution treatment temperatures and perhaps greater
plastic deformation during forging. / Graduation date: 1992

Properties of titanium matrix composites reinforced with titanium boride powdersYuan, Fei (Fred), Materials Science & Engineering, Faculty of Science, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
Metal matrix composites can produce mechanical and physical properties better than those of the monolithic metal. Titanium alloys are widely used matrix materials as they can offer outstanding specific strength, corrosion resistance and other advantages over its competitors, such as aluminium, magnesium and stainless steel. In past decades, titanium matrix composites served in broad areas, including aerospace, military, automobile and biomedical industries. In this project, a revised powder metallurgy method, which contains cold isostatic pressing and hot isostatic pressing, was adopted to refine the microstructure of monolithic titanium. It was also used to manufacture titanium matrix composites. TiH2 powder was selected as the starting material to form Ti matrix and the reinforcements were sub-micron and nano-metric TiB particles. Mechanical properties and microstructure of commercial titanium composites exhaust valves from Toyota Motor Corporation have been studied as the reference of properties of titanium composites manufactured in this project. It has been shown that tensile strength and hardness of exhaust valves increase about 30% than those of similar matrix titanium alloys. Examination on powder starting materials of this project was also carried out, especially the dehydrogenation process shown in the DSC result. Mechanical properties and microstructures of titanium matrix composites samples in this project, as related to the process parameter, have also been investigated. The density of these samples reached 96% of theoretical one but cracks were found through out the samples after sintering. Fast heating rates during the processing was suspected to have caused the crack formation, since the hydrogen release was too fast during dehydrogenation. Hardness testing of sintered samples was carried out and the value was comparable and even better than that of commercial exhaust valves and titanium composites in literature. Microstructure study shows that the size of reinforcements increased and the size of grains decreased as the increasing amount of TiB reinforcements. And this condition also resulted in the increasing amount of the acicular alpha structure.

Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: Ligas de Ti do tipo ? metaestável exibem comportamento singular no tocante à possibilidade de manipulação de seu comportamento mecânico. Nessas ligas, a rigidez pode ser alterada por meio do controle das fases presentes, o que permite que esses materiais sejam incluídos no seleto grupo dos materiais com gradientes funcionais (functionally graded materials - FGM). Neste trabalho, objetivou-se projetar, produzir, processar, caracterizar e aplicar ligas Ti-Nb com adições do elemento ? estabilizador de baixo custo Fe. As ligas foram produzidas por fusão a arco voltaico e submetidas a diversas condições de tratamento térmico, incluindo solubilização acima da temperatura ?-transus, resfriamento rápido até a temperatura ambiente e tratamentos térmicos de envelhecimento entre 260 °C e 400 °C. A caracterização envolveu calorimetria diferencial de varredura, difração de raios-X e dureza Vickers em alta temperatura, análises metalográficas e de módulo de elasticidade por técnicas acústicas, ensaios de tração e mapeamento de rigidez por meio de nanoindentação. Os resultados obtidos mostram a retenção completa da fase ? para a liga Ti-30Nb-3Fe solubilizada e resfriada rapidamente e permitem também, compreender a decomposição da fase martensita ?" e a nucleação das fases ? e ?. A adição do elemento Fe tornou a cinética de transformação de fases bem mais lenta, propiciando, sob algumas condições, a supressão da fase ?, que é conhecida por aumentar a dureza em detrimento da ductilidade. Tais resultados foram utilizados no estabelecimento de condições ideais de processamento que permitem obter componentes ortopédicos com rigidez gradual. Finalmente, o conhecimento adquiro foi usado na fabricação de placas e parafusos de osteossíntese a partir da liga Ti-30Nb-3Fe com gradientes de funcionalidade / Abstract: Metastable ? Ti alloys exhibit singular behavior regarding the possibility of manipulating their mechanical behavior. In these alloys, the stiffness can be changed by controlling phases, which allows these materials to be included in the select group of functionally graded materials (FGM). This study aimed to design, produce, process, characterize and apply Ti-Nb alloys with addition of Fe, an inexpensive ? stabilizing element. These alloys were produced by arc melting and subjected to different heat treatment conditions, including solution above the ?- transus temperature, quenching to room temperature and aging heat treatments between 260 °C and 400 °C. Characterization involved differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and Vickers hardness at high temperature, metallographic analyzes, elastic modulus by acoustic techniques, tensile test and stiffness mapping via nanoindentation. The results obtained show complete retention of the ? phase in the Ti-30Nb-3Fe alloy after solution in the ? field and rapid cooling to room temperature and also allow understanding martensite ?" decomposition and nucleation of the ? and ? phases. It was found that Fe additions make the phase transformation kinetics much slower, providing, for some conditions, suppression of the ? phase precipitation, which is known to increase the hardness at the expense of ductility. These results were used to establish optimal processing conditions, resulting in orthopedic component with graded stiffness. Finally, the knowledge acquired was used in the manufacturing of osteosynthesis plates and screws with functionality graded from the Ti-30Nb-3Fe / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
