titanium-aluminium-molybdenum or titanium-aluminiumsilicon alloys, the ductility of which is not readily improved by heat-treatment.
In the quaternary alloys part of the silicon, manganese, molybdenum, or vanadium may be replaced by one or more of the other three components and, provided W hav al f und th t th properties are ill the total composition is within the range above specified, further enhanced by the inclusion of one or more of th ult p alloys have ar y enhanced the following components, namely: properties.
Percent Table II shows the results of creep tests on three Silicon P to titanium base alloys containing 5.0% aluminium and, Manganese P to respectively, 5% of molybdenum, 0.5% of silicon and Molybfienum UP to 10% of zirconium, the results being expressed as per- Vanadmm UP to centage strains after 300 hours at 400 C. under stresses the balance in each case being titanium. of 25 and 20 tons per square inch.
The superiority of the titanium-aluminium-Zirconium alloy of the invention is apparent.
The low density and relatively high resistance to creep of the alloys of the invention make them attractive for use in industry, e. g. for gas turbine and other engine components which are required to operate at temperatures up to about 400 C., particularly Where such components are subjected in service to stresses arising from inertia forces.
