Abstract

Since materials used in or exposed to high-temperature environments can undergo variation or degradation of mechanical properties, it is important to evaluate mechanical properties at high temperature, in particular for structural applications and aerospace materials. Instrumented indentation testing (IIT) is widely used to evaluate such mechanical properties of materials as tensile properties, residual stress, fracture toughness, etc., exploiting theoretical approaches to indentation mechanics. In this study, we used IIT to evaluate variations in tensile properties with temperature of the Ti alloy Ti-6Al-4V, a candidate material for aerospace applications, using a high-temperature chamber and a modified representation method. Comparison of our results with conventional uniaxial tensile test results showed good agreement (within a 10% error range) in yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. This confirms the potential of IIT for evaluating to evaluate high-temperature tensile properties of metallic materials and for research on material behavior in various temperature conditions.
