An Investigation Into Salt-Bath Heat Treatment For Titanium, Robert Fred Bechtold
An Investigation Into Salt-Bath Heat Treatment For Titanium, Robert Fred Bechtold
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Titanium, although possessing excellent corrosion resistance in some media, is severely attacked by molten inorganic salts such as those employed in heat-treating baths. Since titanium undergoes allotropic changes, many of its alloys are amendable to heat treatment. The purpose of this study was to discover a salt (or other suitable medium) in which titanium alloys can be successfully heat treated without fear of corrosion.
