Abstract
Titanium alloys are attractive to the industrial world, as they offer the benefits of low density, great corrosion resistance, and relatively good strength, making them viable candidates for a multitude of applications. However, above 500 °C, oxidation and oxygen diffusion in titanium alloys need to be taken into account as they change their microstructure and then their mechanical properties. Oxidations were carried out between 600 and 750 °C on a specific titanium alloy: an α–β annealed Ti–6Al–4V. Oxidation kinetics and oxygen diffusion in the matrix were studied. SIMS analyses were realized on rotating specimens of this two-phase polycrystalline alloy in order to reduce roughness. Composition profiles along the sample thickness were compared to microhardness measurements. SIMS mappings were realized on the smooth slopes of the crater.
