Abstract

The article considers the influence of carbon in the range from 0.008 to 0.18 mass. % at the temperature of complete polymorphic transformation, microstructure and mechanical properties of near-alphatitanium alloy systems Ti–6.2Al–Sn–Zr–(2.19–3.53) Moeq–(0.18–0.28)Si–(0.008–0.18)С. Alloying with carbon is possible due to special titanium sponge or industrial ligatures. Six experimental forgings performed on bimodal microstructured ingots allowed to establish a rational level of carbon. It is shown that carbon alloying at solubility limit (up to 0.08% by weight) increases the heat resistance of the material, while a similar alloying with silicon gives a greater effect. The carbon effect on the strength at room temperature is negligible. Negative effect of carbon on the impact toughness of the alloys is marked. For the selected carbon alloying level at strength of 1165–1180 MPa, the impact viscosity remains at an acceptable level of KCU = 330–381 kJ/m2. The alloys of the investigated system allow hot deformation in heavy conditions under hammer forging at relatively low temperatures of the two-phase region.
