Abstract
A survey of diffusion data of interstitial oxygen and of the substitutional elements aluminum and vanadium is presented for alpha and beta titanium. It is based on a survey of literature. Oxygen is an important interstitial element in titanium alloys. Oxygen’s large chemical affinity to titanium is indicated by Ti—O bond energy of 2.12 eV,1 comparable to the Ti—Ti bond energy of 2.56 eV.2 Oxygen is difficult to eliminate completely from titanium, and commercial titanium alloys usually contain from 0.10 to 0.20 wt pct oxygen. Oxygen significantly affects the mechanical properties of titanium alloys1,3 and is sometimes used as an alloying element. The effects of oxygen on phase transformation ,4,5,6 Youngs modulus,7,8 hardness,9,10 fracture toughness,11 and other mechanical properties12 have been amply documented. Aluminum and vanadium are the most frequently used substitutional alloying elements. Aluminum is an alpha stabilizer and vanadium is a beta stabilizer.
