Definitions
- the most common such alloy contains normally 6% aluminum, 2% tin, 4% zirconium and 2% molybdenum, and is known in the trade as the 6242 alloy.
- Harris et a1 disclose a number of alloys of composition approaching the 6242 alloy, except that the alloys preferably contain about 0.1 to 2.0% silicon. Most of the alloys listed in the examples in the patent have a silicon content of 0.5%.
- the apparent purpose of the patentees is to provide alloys which have improved creep properties; the patent does not discuss notch toughness.
- An object of our invention is to provide a novel titanium-base alloy which contains alloying elements in a range similar to that described in the Peebles patent, but to which we add silicon in an amount to produce a silicon content in a narrow critical range above the residual level, whereby our alloy exhibits marked improvement over the 6242 alloy in tests for creep properties and stress rupture strength at elevated temperatures, without appreciable detriment to its other properties such as tensile strength, ductility or notch toughness.
- a further object is to provide a method of improving the creep properties of an alloy otherwise similar to the Peebles alloy by adding silicon to the alloy in an amount to produce a silicon content in a narrow critical range above the residual level but below the range used in the prior art.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the effect of silicon additions on the notch toughness of an alloy otherwise similar to the 6242 alloy.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing the effect of silicon additions on the creep and stress rupture strengths of an alloy otherwise similar to the 6242 alloy.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing the effect of silicon additions on the creep deformation of an alloy otherwise similar to the 6242 alloy.
- the remainder of the alloy consists by weight of about 5.5 to aluminum, 1.7 to 2.3% tin, 0.7 to 5.0% zirconium, and 0.7 to 3.0% molybdenum, balance titanium and unavoidable impurities.
- the preferred nominal analysis apart from silicon is similar to the commercial 6242 alloy, to wit 6% aluminum, 2% tin, 4% zirconium and 2% molybdenum, balance titanium.
- the creep properties of the alloy fall off significantly as the silicon content is lowered nearer the residual level of 0.03%.
- the upper limit of silicon in our alloy is defined by the level at which various properties, particularly notch toughness but surprisingly also creep, start to be affected detrimentally to an unacceptable degree.
- Our tests show that the creep strength is maximum at a silicon content just below our upper limit, but the optimum silicon content of our alloy for a good combination of properties is about 0.08 to 0.09%. To demonstrate these phenomena, we performed a series of tests hereinafter described.
- FIG. 1 shows graphically the effect of silicon on notch toughness. As long as the silicon content of the alloy does not exceed our upper limit of about 0.13%, the Charpy impact energy is not likely to drop below the generally acceptable minimum of 10 ft.-1bs.
- FIG. 2 shows graphically results listed in Tables [11 and IV.
- curve X we plot the average time to reach 0.1% deformation against silicon content. This curve shows a well-defined peak in the creep strength when the alloy has a silicon content of about 0.10%, but we prefer a slightly lower silicon content because other properties commence to be affected adversely at 0. silicon. Each point on the curve represents the average of at least two tests. The minimum acceptable time for 0.1% deformation under one current specification is 35 hours. The 6242 alloy, with only its residual silicon content, did not meet this specification, as indicated by point A on curve X. The alloy with a silicon content of 0.2% barely met this specification, as indicated by point B on the curve, but was deficient in other respects, as shown by the results of our notch toughness tests.
- Curve Y in which we plot the time for rupture at l,000 F against silicon content, rises above the scale of the graph at our optimum silicon content, but thereafter drops precipitously.
- FIG. 3 shows graphically additional information from Table III on the effect of silicon on creep deformation. This curve, in which we plot the permanent deformation at 100 hours against the silicon content, shows a minimum again near our optimum silicon content.
- the points A and B in FIG. 3 correspond with the same points in FIG. 2.
- a titanium-base alloy consisting by weight of about 5.5 to 6.5% aluminum, 1.7 to 2.3% tin, 0.7 to 5.0% zirconium, 0.7 to 3.0% molybdenum, silicon in an amount of at least 0.04% but less than 0.10%, and the balance titanium and unavoidable impurities, said alloy having a minimum Charpy V-notch impact energy of 10 ft.- lbs., and requiring a minimum time of 35 hours to reach 0.1% deformation when exposed to a stress of 35 Ksi at 950 F.
- a method of improving the creep properties of a titanium base alloy which otherwise consists by weight of about 5.5 to 6.5% aluminum, 1.7 to 2.3% tin, 0.7 to 5.0% zirconium, 0.7 to 3.0% molybdenum, balance titanium and unavoidable impurities, and which has a residual silicon content of about 0.02 to 0.03%, said method comprising adding silicon to said alloy in an amount to produce a silicon content therein of at least 0.04% but less than 0.10% including the residual, whereby the alloy attains sufficient creep strength that specimens thereof require a minimum time of 35 hours to reach 0.1% deformation when exposed to a stress of 35 Ksi at 950 F, yet retain sufficient notch toughness to have a minimum Charpy V-notch impact energy of 10 ft.-lbs.-
- a method as defined in claim 4 in which silicon is added to the alloy in an amount to produce a silicon content therein of 0.08 to 0.09%.
