Influence of alloying and impurity element contents on V–Ti–Cr alloy properties

This work presents the results of a property study and analysis of V–Ti–Cr alloys with a total base component concentration of Ti + Cr in the range of 8–30% with consideration of the influence of impurity and possible transmutation elements. The effect of the base alloying elements (titanium, chromium) and impurity elements (iron, silicon, aluminum, scandium etc.) on the recrystallization temperature, hardness and mechanical properties of alloys at different temperatures has been estimated. The role of dynamic strain aging with respect to the increase of vanadium alloy strength and intermittence developed on a tensile stress–strain diagram at temperatures above 400 °C has been shown.
