Abstract

The deformation characteristics of quenched and aged Ti-V alloys in the composition range 20 to 40 wt pct vanadium have been examined by optical metallography and transmission electron microscopy. A coarse lenticular deformation product similar in appearance to previously reported strain induced “martensites” was found to be associated with the occurrence of the omega phase. These features proved to be {112}〈111〉 twins. In the omega bearing alloys prolonged aging resulted in a transition of the deformation mode from twinning to slip at a point which corresponded either to the onset of embrittlement or alpha phase precipitation.
