Abstract
It is well known that low levels of light element impurities, such as oxygen and nitrogen, can significantly modify phase equilibria in conventional titanium alloys. However, although the role of nitrogen and oxygen as alpha stabilizers is well established, little quantitative work exists in ternary and higher order systems. Moreover the effect of such elements on equilibria with phases other than cx-and P-Ti is often unknown. The problems in measuring light elements at the microscopic level adds to the difficulty of establishing partitioning, and old axioms are often transferred to new alloys with little evidence that they are applicable. As part of a current program on titanium alloys, phase diagram modeling has been performed for a variety of titanium alloys with additions of oxygen and nitrogen. This paper presents results for the system Ti-Al-V-O-(N,C) with particular reference to the O additions to the commercially important alloy Ti-6A1-4V.
