THE GAS IMPURITIES INFLUENCE ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF VT1-0 AND VT6 TITANIUM ALLOYS

Abstract

This article dials with methods for producing titanium alloys VT1-0 and VT6 and the gaseous impurities effect on plasticity characteristics. It has been shown that electron-beam melting with an intermediate capacity makes it possible to remove a significant number of impurities in titanium alloys VT1-0 and VT6. It has been proven that industrialscale modification of titanium ingots with a total weight of more than 18 t, followed by their pressure treatment without remelting, allows minimizing the energy costs for obtaining finished semi-finished products.
