STRAIN INDUCED TRANSFORMATIONS AND PLASTICITY IN TRANSAGE Ti-11.6V-2Al-2Sn-6Zr (Tl134) AND Ti-11.5V - 2Al-2Sn-11.3Zr (Tl29) ALLOYS

Abstract
An investigation is reported on two β quenched titanium Transage alloys, namely (i) T 134 which contains only orthorhombic α" martensite and (ii) T 129 which contains mainly retained β and a small amount of α" after quenching from the β phase. Strain induced shear, transformations of β to α" and the α" to hexagonal α' take place in the temperature range 77-373K and are associated with enhanced ductility.
