Abstract
The viability of using coated Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo foils at 620°C in air was established through mechanical and thermogravimetric testing. Weight-grained and oxygen embrittlement were significantly reduced by the coatings. The residual tensile elongation of coated specimens was 2.5 times that of uncoated specimens. Comparison depth-profiling with X-ray diffraction verified the reduction of oxygen solid-solution in the α-phase for a selection of coated specimens.
