Mechanical Properties and Planar Anisotropy of TC1 Titanium Alloy Sheet

This paper investigated the main mechanical properties of TC1 titanium alloy sheets with different thicknesses, and a useful function that can describe the mechanical properties reasonably was used. Moreover, planar anisotropies of above TC1 titanium alloy sheets were studied by Barlat′89 and Yld2000-2d yield functions. The influence of M value was analyzed on describing ability for distribution characteristics of material yield stress and anisotropic coefficient, and their performances were compared on the titanium alloy sheets.
