The influence of microadditives of ruthenium on the structure, corrosive-mechanical strength, and fractography of destruction of pseudo-alpha-titanium alloys

Abstract

The investigation is focused on the study of the structure, fracture, and phase composition of standard industrial pseudo-alpha-titanium alloy and the same titanium alloy alloyed with ruthenium. Also, the possibility to increase the low-cycle fatigue and resistance to stress corrosion cracking of industrial titanium allow using cathodic alloying with ruthenium.
