Effect of carbon on structure and plasticity of beta titanium alloys

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Particles of titanium carbide were observed in the β titanium alloy with 0.1% C. The precipitation of titanium carbide lowers the impact strength, increases susceptibility to brittle fracture, and impairs the plasticity of the alloy.

  2. 2.

    It is expedient to reduce the permissible concentration of carbon in alloys with mechanically stable β phase (it should not exceed 0.05% in wrought alloys).
