Om. Ivasishin et al., MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF (ALPHA-TITANIUM ALLOY AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES(BETA)), Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 196(1-2), 1995, pp. 65-70
The influence of microstructure, fine surface stress concentrators and
weak surface gas saturation on the mechanical properties of high-stre
ngth (alpha + beta)-titanium alloy at cryogenics temperatures was stud
ied. The results are discussed in terms of a new microcleavage model o
f brittle fracture.
