1. Mechanical properties at low temperatures
At low temperatures, the brittleness of materials tends to increase, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties. However, TA18α-type titanium alloy still maintains high strength and good toughness under low temperature conditions. Experimental data show that when the temperature drops to -150°C, the tensile strength of TA18α-type titanium alloy still reaches more than 90% of its room-temperature level, and the fracture toughness does not show a significant decrease. This excellent low-temperature performance makes it valuable for applications in polar exploration equipment, low-temperature storage containers and deep space probes.
