Abstract

A METHOD OF IMPROVING THE MACROSTRUCTURE OF TITANIUMBASE ALLOY PRODUCTS BY ADDING TO THE ALLOY ABOUT 0.03 TO 0.40 PERCENT YTTRIUM, WHICH MAY BE EITHER THE METAL ITSELF OR A COMPOUND THEREOF. ADDITION OF YTRIUM ACHIEVES A FINE GRAIN STRUCTURE AND AVOIDS SPANGLED SURFACES ON MACROETCHED SECTIONS OF THE PRODUCT, BUT USUALLY LOWERS BOTH THE YIELD STRENGTH AND ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE PRODUCT. INVENTION COMPENSATES FOR THIS LATTER EFFECT BY ADJUSTING THE CONTENT OF STRENGTHENING AGENTS, PREFERABLY OXYGEN OR NITROGEN.

This invention relates to a method of improving the" macrostructure of titanium-base alloys and to the resulting product.
Coarse grain structures or a spangled surface condition 'cent by weight. The remainder of the alloy may consist of any combination of the usual alloying elements for titanium; including aluminum, tin, vanadium, zirconium, chromium, molybdenum, iron, oxygen, nitrogen and others. Our method is applicable to alloys which con- .tain alpha and/or beta phases. Surprisingly it is not applicable to unalloyed titanium nor to alloys which contain less than about 3 percent by weight ofalloying elements.
According to our method, we incorporate in the alloy about 0.03 to 0.40 percent by weight yttrium. Since yttrium is costly, we prefer to add it in the minimum quantity to achieve the desired improvement in macrostructure of the alloy. Additions of yttrium to produce a content in excess of our upper limit tend to make alloys more difficult to work, even though they may achieve the desired improvement in macrostructure. We may add yttrium to the alloy either in the form of the metal itself or a compound, such as the oxide Y O provided the other elements in the compound have no adverse eifect on the final alloy or are within allowable limits. We prefer to use a compound for reasons that compounds are less costly, and other elements of the compound may supply a strengthening agent, as hereinafter described. In adding yttrium to an alloy, we may follow the usual technique interfere with sonic inspectionof titanium-base alloy 7 a 30-inch diameter ingot of a titanium-base alloy to a Y 20-inch diameter billet is not suflicient forthis purpose, and the billet usuallyis coarse-grained. Even though a product may be worked sufiiciently to achieve a fine grain structure, macroetched sections of the-product may have spangled surfaces which similarly hamper sonic inspection.
An object of the present inventionis to provide a method of improving the macrostructure of titaniumb ase alloy products through yttrium additions without adversely affecting other properties.
.A. more specific object is to provide a method of improving the macrostructure of titanium base alloy products in which we add yttrium to the alloy, but compensate for the adverse eifect on tensile properties by increasing the content of strengthening agents, preferably oxygen and/or nitrogen. i
A further object is to provide an improved titaniumbase alloy product which results from practicing our method.
Our method is applicable to alloys which contain a minimum of about 70 percent by weight titanium. Most alloys for which our method is useful have a titanium content no greater than about 95' percent by weight, and our preferred range is about 70 to 95 percent titanium. Nevertheless our method may be useful for some alloys;
which have a titanium content" as" high" as aEoutQTprof combining yttrium metal or a yttrium compound with sponge titanium and the other alloying elements in a consumable electrode, and melting the electrode with an electric arc to form an ingot. Yttrium has little solubility in titanium, but tends to form a fine refractoryv oxide precipitate with a melting point above 4300 R, which is substantially higher than the melting point of titanium.
Table 1, which follows, demonstrates the benefits we have obtained in controlling the grain size of various titaniur n ba se alloys by adding yttrium.

In our aforemenioned earlier application, we gave test results which might lead onejto the opposite conclusion, but we obtained these results with tests on sheet material which had been worked and annealed at relatively low temperatures. Hence the results were not representative of products .of heavier cross section, such as bar stock. Thelatter products must be worked at higher temperatures that is, above or near the beta transus. If the alloy is not worked at low temperatures, our more recent tests demonstrate that additionof yttrium tends to lower both the yield strength and ultimate tensile strengthof many vtitanium-base alloyproducts by as much as 10K s.i. mi

3. A method as defined in claim 1 in which the nitrogen content is raised by about 0.01 to 0. 03 percent.
4. A method as defined in claim 1 in which yttrium is in the form of its oxide when added, and the oxygen present in said oxide supplies the increased content of strengthening agent.
5. A method as defined in claim 1 in which the alloy nominally contains 6 percent by weight aluminum, 6 percent by weight vanadium, 2 percent by weight tin and the balance substantially titanium and has a normal oxygen content of about 0.16 percent by weight and in which comis in the form of the metal when added, and the increased content of strengthening agent is added separately.
7. A method as defined in claim 1 in which the alloy nominally contains 6 percent by weight aluminum, 4 percent by weight vanadium and the balance substantially titanium and has a normal oxygen content of about 0.17 percent by weight and in which compensation is obtained by raising the oxygen content by about 0.01 to 0.06 percent.
