  1. 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, or 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. Determination of Activation Energies and Modeling of Low Temperature Creep of Alpha, Alpha-Beta, and Beta Titanium AlloysS. Ankem, FASM, University of Maryland, College Park, DMR MET# 0513751 TEM micrograph of twins growing from a dislocation pileup at a grain boundary APPROACH This investigation involves experimental, analytical, and theoretical components. Mechanical testing is enhanced by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS A model was developed to explain the unusual phenomenon of slow twin growth during creep of single phase a and b Ti alloys. It was shown that dislocation pileups in large-grained alloys give the stress-concentration necessary for twin nucleation. Twin growth is rate-limited by the diffusion of oxygen away from the growing twin. The activation energy for twin growth based on this model compares favorably with the experimentally measured activation for creep of a and b Ti alloys.
