Anisotropy of elastic properties in α-alloys on titanium base

A method is developed and realized for computing anisotropy of elastic properties in metals and alloys with BCC structure, limitations as to the type and character of crys. tallographic texture scattering are absent in this method. The results of electronic digital computer calculation of the Young modulus for specimens of BT1-0 and OT4-1 titanium alloys with different deformations are presented. A comparison of estimated and experimental data permits a conclusion to be made on the decisive effect of crystallographic texture on anisotropy of elastic characteristics of titanium α-alloys
