Abstract

We have investigated the effects of solute oxygen on the kinetics of diffusionless isothermal omega (DI-ω) transformation in β-titanium vanadium alloys. This transformation constitutes a third category of ω transformation beside the athermal and isothermal modes. Thermal analysis, hardness and internal friction measurements were conducted after quenching oxygen-containing and near-oxygen-free alloys with ~ 21 at%V from the β-stable temperature. At this level of vanadium concentration, the athermal ω transformation is not expected. It is found that the DI-ω transformation more rapidly progresses in the low oxygen alloy and the relaxation strength of the elementary process of {111}β collapse is significantly reduced.
