Dynamic mechanical analysis and thermomechanical stability of nanostructured commercially pure titanium in the temperature range of 20–600°C

The aim of this work was to perform thermal characterization of commercially pure titanium in dry air to determine its oxidation kinetics and the structure of the oxide. The oxidation kinetics were determined thermogravimetrically under isothermal conditions in the temperature range 300 to 750 ºC for 48 hours and the structure of the oxides was determined by differential thermal analyses and X-ray diffraction in the temperature range room temperature - 1000ºC. The oxidation rate of titanium increased with increase in temperature. It was high in the initial stages of oxidation and then decreased rapidly with time, especially up to 600 ºC. The kinetic laws varied between inverse logarithmic at the lower temperatures (300 and 400 ºC) and parabolic at the higher temperatures (650, 700 and 750 ºC). Evidences from X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analyses data revealed that the passive oxide film formed at room temperature crystallized into anatase at about 276 ºC. The crystallized oxide formed in the range 276 - 457 ºC consisted of anatase, in the range 457 - 718 ºC consisted of anatase and rutile sublayers, and at temperatures beyond 718 ºC consisted of a layer of pure rutile. Scanning electron microscopy observations reveled that the oxidized surfaces were crack-free and the surface roughness increased steadily with oxidation temperature.

Minimum Yield

Abstract RMI 0.2% Pd is a grade of commercially pure titanium to which up to 0.2% palladium has been added. It has a guaranteed minimum yield strength of 40,000 psi with good ductility and formability. It is recommended for corrosion resistance in the chemical industry and other places where the environment is mildly reducing or varies between oxidizing and reducing. The alloy has improved resistance to crevice corrosion at low pH and elevated temperatures. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-74. Producer or source: RMI Company.

Design Stress

Abstract UPM CP Titanium Grade 3 (UNS R50550) is an unalloyed commercially pure titanium that exhibits moderate strength (higher strength than that of Titanium Grade 2), along with excellent formability and corrosion resistance. It offers the highest ASME allowable design stress of any commercially pure grade of titanium, and can be used in continuous service up to 425 °C (800 °F) and in intermittent service up to 540 °C (1000 °F). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ti-167. Producer or source: United Performance Metals.
