Abstract

The temperature dependences of the strength properties of forgings made of pseudo-α and α + β titanium alloys intended for the production of aviation gas turbine engines are statistically studied. The ultimate tensile strengths of various are compared using cluster analysis, which allowed us to distinguish four groups of alloys with approximately the same strength reduction intensity in the temperature range 20–600°C. The results obtained are used to develop polynomial models to estimate the typical values of ultimate tensile strength of stamped forgings (after standard annealing) as a function of the test temperature. Models are proposed to predict the ultimate tensile strength at various operating temperatures if the room-temperature ultimate tensile strength of an annealed semifinished product is known.
