Review of the author’s own results obtained from mechanical testing of titanium alloys

Abstract

Experimental data obtained at different times by the author for various titanium alloys are collected in one place. The mechanical properties of the VT1-0 alloy at normal temperature, the creep and creep rupture of the VT5 and VT6 alloys at 650 °C, the secondary creep of the VT1-0 alloy under complex stress conditions at 550 °C are considered. The final values of strains observed either at the rupture time or at mechanical test termination are taken as a criterion for combining all these data.
