Abstract

A study has been carried out on the elastic modulus of cast ternary Ti-15Mo-W alloys (containing 4 up to 11 wt.% W). Tungsten was added to the Ti-15Mo alloy to improve the mechanical properties. The influence of tungsten content on the elastic modulus is discussed more thoroughly, along with other mechanical properties. Samples were obtained by successive melting using pure metals in vacuum arc re-melting equipment. The alloy microstructure proved to be homogeneous showing the β-phase predominance. The modulus of elasticity was determined by mechanical compression tests. The samples showed no cracks, having super-plasticity characteristics similar to other titanium alloys. According to the tests, the samples showed good mechanical properties. The values obtained ranged from 248–327 HV for microhardness, 782–921 MPa for compressive strength and 17.86–45.35 GPa for the elastic modulus.
