Abstract

In view of present difficulties encountered in met alio graphic methods of phase analysis of titanium and its alloys, the possibility of utilizing integrated X-ray intensities for phase analysis was investigated. Power Formula variables were calculated for titanium, and relative areas of three alpha and one beta peak were determined. Recorded X-ray intensities were obtained from a large number of titanium specimens. The recorded intensities were analyzed and the results compared with those from metallographic analysis. The errors in the method arising from the nature of titanium, texture and peak overlapping, were studied and where possible, compensated for by adjusting the method of measurement and calculation.
