ABSTRACT
The mechanical p r o p e r t i e s of annealed 8A1-1Mo-1V t i t an ium a l l o y s h e e t , 0.063-inch t h i c k , were determined a t temperatures from ambient t o -253°C (-423°F). The a l l o y had h igh s t r e n g t h through the e n t i r e test temperature range. The t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h a t -253°C (-423°F) was approximately 75 percent g r e a t e r than the ambient temperature t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h . The e longat ion decreased from approximately 16 pe rcen t a t ambient temperature t o approximately 8 pe rcen t a t -196°C (-320°F) and t o less than 3 percent a t -253OC (-423°F).
Weldments of 8A1-1Mo-1V t i tan ium t o 6Al-4V t i tan ium were made by u t i l i z i n g t h e TIG process with 6A1-4V t i tan ium a l l o y f i l l e r . weldments were made wi th the e l e c t r o n beam process without f i l l e r wire. Based upon t y p i c a l s t r e n g t h values of 6Al-4V t i t an ium a l l o y , t h e as- welded j o i n t e f f i c i e n c i e s of both types of weldments exceeded 95 pe rcen t over the e n t i r e range of t es t temperatures from ambient t o -253°C (-423°F). over t he t es t temperature range except a t room temperature, where s t r e n g t h s were approximately equal.

SUMMARY
The mechanical p r o p e r t i e s of t i t an ium a l l o y 8Al-lMo-lV s h e e t , 0.063-inch t h i c k , were determined a t temperatures from ambient t o -253°C (-423°F). The u l t ima te t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h increased from 158.1 k s i a t ambient temperature t o 279.1 k s i a t -253°C (-423°F). The notched t o unnotched t e n s i l e s t r eng th r a t i o dropped from 0.90 a t ambient temperature t o 0 .81 a t -129°C (-200°F) and decreased sharp ly t o 0 .51 a t -253OC (-423°F). Composite weldments of t i t an ium a l l o y 8Al-lMo-lV t o t i t an ium a l l o y 6A1-4V were made by us ing bo th t h e TIG and e l e c t r o n beam welding processes . 6A1-4V f i l l e r wire; no f i l l e r wire was used wi th the e l e c t r o n beam welding process . J o i n t e f f i c i e n c i e s produced by the TIG process were g r e a t e r than those produced by the e l e c t r o n beam process . I n both cases, however, the j o i n t e f f i c i e n c i e s were above 95 pe rcen t from ambient temperature t o -253°C (-423OF).

INTRODUCTION
Titanium a l l o y 8Al-lMo-lV, having an a lpha r i c h - l e a n b e t a s t r u c t u r e , has good f o r g e a b i l i t y and h e a t t reatment q u a l i t i e s and a l s o high s t r e n g t h and r e s i s t a n c e t o c reep a t ambient and h igh temperatures . This a l l o y was developed o r i g i n a l l y f o r j e t engine compressor p a r t s , i . e . , d i s c s , space r s , and b l ades , where high t e n s i l e p rope r t i e s and r e s i s t a n c e t o c reep were of t he utmost importance (Ref. 1).
This i n v e s t i g a t i o n was prompted by the need f o r a d d i t i o n a l low temperature data t o f u l l y eva lua te the performance of t h i s a l l o y over a wide v a r i e t y of environments f o r p o t e n t i a l use i n advanced space v e h i c l e duc t ing , s t r u c t u r a l members, and tank sk ins . The study was l i m i t e d t o t h e low temperature p r o p e r t i e s of the a l l o y i n s h e e t s of 0.063 inch i n th ickness , furnished by the Titanium Metals Corporat ion of America from Heat No. (210) D-3457. I n a d d i t i o n , s i n c e the p r o p e r t i e s of t h i s a l l o y are r epor t ed ly comparable t o the 6A1-4V t i t a n i u m a t room temperature and supe r io r a t e l eva ted temperatures , weldments of 8Al-lMo-lV t o 6A1-4V were prepared f o r eva lua t ion a t low temperatures .

The mechanical p r o p e r t i e s of the 8A1-1Mo-1V a l l o y l i s t e d i n Table I1 show the ambient temperature t e n s i l e and y i e l d s t r e n g t h s i n the long i tud ina l d i r e c t i o n t o be 158.1 k s i and 150.0 k s i , r e s p e c t i v e l y , and 279.1 k s i and 258.9 k s i , r e s p e c t i v e l y , a t -253OC (-423%'), which is an inc rease of approximately 75 percent . A comparison of the p r o p e r t i e s i n both the long i tud ina l and t r ansve r se d i r e c t i o n s i s shown i n FIG 1. The percent e longat ion drops gradual ly from 14 pe rcen t a t ambient temper- a t u r e t o 8 .3 percent a t -196OC (-320°F) and decreases sharp ly t o 2 . 7 pe rcen t a t -253°C (-423°F) i n the l o n g i t u d i n a l d i r e c t i o n . The notched t o unnotched t e n s i l e r a t i o s i n d i c a t e a decrease i n toughness wi th a decrease i n temperature (FIG 2 ) . Notch s e n s i t i v i t y i n the long i tud ina l d i r e c t i o n i s n o t q u i t e as severe as t h a t i n the t r ansve r se d i r e c t i o n . However, t he notch s e n s i t i v i t y i n the two d i r e c t i o n s e x h i b i t s a sharp inc rease a t temperatures below -129°C (-200°F).
The 8A1-1Mo-1V shee t , 0.063-inch t h i c k , was TIG welded t o 6A1-4V shee t of the same th ickness us ing 6A1-4V f i l l e r m a t e r i a l . The low temperature t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h s of the composite weldments are shown i n Table 111. The T I G welds, t r ansve r se t o the loading d i r e c t i o n , increased i n t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h from 137.8 k s i a t ambient temperature t o 257.6 k s i a t -253°C (-423°F). (See FIG 3 . ) The average i n c r e a s e i n s t r e n g t h was 29 k s i per 100°F decrease i n temperature w i t h j o i n t e f f i c i e n c i e s i n excess of 95 percent f o r the t e s t ' t e m p e r a t u r e spectrum. The e l e c t r o n beam weldments increased i n t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h from 138.7 k s i a t ambient temperature t o 256.9 k s i a t -253°C (-423°F). J o i n t e f f i - c i e n c i e s of the e l e c t r o n beam weldments were 95 pe rcen t o r above f o r a l l t es t temperatures. Only th ree specimens of t he t o t a l number of weldments t e s t ed f a i l e d i n the fus ion zone; the remainder f a i l e d i n the 6A1-4V a l l o y base m a t e r i a l . Low temperature t e n s i l e s t r e n g t h s of the 8A1-1Mo-1V TIG weldments w i th no f i l l e r added a r e shown i n FIG 4 (Ref. 3) . The s t r e n g t h va lues of composite weldments a r e lower than those from TIG weldments of 8Al-lMo-lV, as would be expected cons ider ing the lower s t r eng th of the 6A1-4V a l l o y .

CONCLUSIONS
It was determined t h a t t i t an ium a l l o y 8Al-lMo-lV has good mechanical p r o p e r t i e s i n the temperature range of 27°C (80'F) through -129°C (-200'F). The composite TIG weldments u t i l i z i n g 6A1-4V f i l l e r metal and the e l e c t r o n beam weldments r e s u l t e d i n weld e f f i c i e n c i e s g r e a t e r than 95 percen t over t he t e s t temperature range from ambient t o -253°C (-423°F). As determined from the eva lua t ion of t he one h e a t of 8Al-lMo-lV t i t an ium a l l o y , t h i s a l l o y i s no t recommended f o r dynamic load a p p l i c a t i o n s a t l i q u i d n i t rogen and l i q u i d hydrogen temperatures because of t h e low d u c t i l i t y and increased notched s e n s i t i v i t y as measured by pe rcen t e longa t ion and notched t o unnotched t e n s i l e r a t i o , r e s p e c t i v e l y .
