CREEP-RUPTURE DATA OF TITANIUM

In a joint investigation program of the Dechema Committee "Werkstoffe und Konstruktion im Chemie-Apparatebau" creep rupture data of titanium Ti1 (DIN materials no. 3.7025) and titanium Ti2 (DIN materials no. 3.7035) were measured in the temperature region of 20 to 300-degrees-C and for periods of up to 50 000 hrs, allowing reliable extrapolation to 100 000 hrs values. The results of these investigations are presented together with earlier results on titanium Ti3 (DIN materials no. 3.7055). The data shown enable the assessment of the behaviour of titanium components even for long service times.
