Determination of anisotropy value by compliance parameter for titanium alloy ot4-1

Abstract

The characteristic of a semi-finished product from a sheet of titanium alloy OT4-1 is the presence of anisotropy of mechanical properties along and across the direction of rolling (along and across the fibers). The purpose of the experiments was to establish magnitude of the anisotropy on the parameter of the compliance of the samples in these directions and to develop measures to reduce it. The tests were comparative in nature; circles with a diameter of 80 mm and a thickness of 0.5 … 1 mm served as samples.
