Quenching methods for Ti-325 alloy

The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of two different cooling procedures on the room temperature mechanical properties of AMS 4943 Ti-325 alloy. The samples were annealed at 1170 °F (632 °C), 1200 °F (649 °C) and 1230 °F (666 °C), half of the samples were water quenched and the other half were furnace cooled to room temperature. The yield strength, ultimate strength and percent elongation as a function of quenching media were determined.
