  1. Determination of Activation Energies and Modeling of Low Temperature Creep of Alpha, Alpha-Beta, and Beta Titanium AlloysSreeramamurthy Ankem, Universiity of Maryland College Park, DMR 0513751 INTELLECTUAL MERIT OVERVIEW Titanium alloys have many applications including aerospace, naval, biomedical, and nuclear. Often, titanium components are subject to loading for long periods of time at low temperatures. Titanium has long been known to creep, i.e.: time-dependent permanent deformation, at low temperatures. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms of creep deformation to predict the mechanical reliability of the structures and to design advanced materials with improved creep resistance. APPROACH Mechanical Testing, TEM & SEM Microscopy, Crystallographic Modeling, and Modeling of deformation mechanisms based on thermodynamics and kinetics principles. TEM micrographs of twins from creep deformed α-Ti–1.6wt.% V at (a) 25°C, (b) 85°C, and (c) 205°C. RESULTS The effect of time-dependent twinning on low temperature (<0.25 * Tm) creep of an alpha-titanium alloy was analyzed. This analysis showed that time dependent twinning is an important deformation mechanism in the temperature range 25-205°C, at the later stages of creep deformation. This conclusion is based on the activation energies, which were found to increase with increasing creep strain. The initial low activation energies are consistent with primarily slip controlled deformation at the beginning and followed by both slip and time dependent deformation at later stages.
