The Use of DSC and Independent Oxygen Analyses to Correlate the β Transus Temperature in CP-Ti Grade 2 Materials Processed via Different Techniques
摘要
Detecting oxygen content in commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is essential, especially in additive manufacturing processes where contamination is problematic. Traditional analyses are expensive and require significant amounts of material. In titanium, oxygen content corresponds to increasing β transus temperatures. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used on titanium materials to determine β transus temperatures, which were confirmed by independent oxygen analyses, and used in CALPHAD modeling. Analysis suggested DSC could be a less expensive method of determining oxygen content in CP-Ti.
