Description It is shown that hardness of the metal increases with increasing of the contents of
oxygen. So, the maximal hardness is typical for samples with contents of the oxygen
0.27%wt., but minimal - for sample with contents of the oxygen 0.035%wt. At the same
time, in radial direction the hardness remains approximately constant that is indicative of
uniform distribution of admixtures on horizontal section of ingot.
The oxygen in titanium noticeably influences on the metal structure formation. So, for
titanium with contents of the oxygen within from 0.053 to 0.110% coarse dendritic
structure is typical, in which differences between separate area are revealed under small
magnifications. Dendritic area etch evenly without clearly marked substructure. In some
cases inside the dendritic areas weakly marked plate substructure is observed, typical to
technically clean titanium in cast condition.
Increasing of the contents of the oxygen to 0.2% and above provides the forming of
structure of the shear transformation, which promote the growth strength properties. The
formation of such structures in cast titanium possible to explain increasing of the
contents of the oxygen, which influence on kinetics of the phase polymorphic
transformation in metal during cooling.
The results of the study of the structure and measurements of hardness have shown that
ChESR provides good chemical and structural homogeneity of titanium ingots, alloyed
by oxygen
In this work the possibility of using of the gaseous oxygen as alloying component in
process of chamber electroslag remelting (ChESR) of titanium sponge is considered.
The oxygen is concerned to list of main admixtures of technically clean titanium, which
provide the essential influence on its properties. However in contrast to nitrogen and
hydrogen it renders not only negative, but also positive influence on titanium properties.
Increase the contents of the oxygen brings about increasing of strength, hardness but
reduction of the plasticity of titanium. Controlling its contents in metal in determined
degree, it is possible to reach the optimum correlation between the plastic and
strengthening characteristic of the titanium alloy. The oxygen it is possible to consider
as perspective alloying element to obtain new titanium alloy. This is particularly
important for medical product, for which along with mechanical properties on the first
plan go out corrosion stability and biocompatibility. In contrast to other alloying
component (for instance, vanadium), the oxygen is more safe. The most economic
expedient it is using the gaseous oxygen for alloying of titanium.
In this work the titanium samples with content of the oxygen from 0.035 to 0.27% were
investigated, which got by alloying by oxygen directly from gas phase in process of
chamber electroslag remelting of titanium sponge.
