Structure and mechanical properties of the Ti-Ga-Si alloys in the Ti-rich corner

The structure and mechanical properties (bending strength and bending defle ction) of three alloys with high content of eutectic constituents were inve stigated. The formation of the structure is considered according to the Ti- Ga-Si phase diagram presented by the sections through the points of composi tions of the alloys investigated. The mechanical properties have been deter mined by means of bending test of the samples by a scheme of the three-poin t bend in the air in the temperature interval of 20-800 degrees C. The corr elation between the structure and mechanical properties is considered. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
