Abstract
The increase in the electrical resistance of the specimen, associated with the α→ω transformation in Ti, has been used to obtain the fraction ζ of the ω phase as a function of time under isobaric–isothermal conditions in the pressure range 4–9 GPa and at 300±3 K. In the entire pressure range ζ–t data fit an equation of the form: ζ=1−exp−(t/τ)n, where τ and n are constants at a given pressure. The results indicate that τ decreases rapidly and n slightly with increase in pressure. An analysis of τ–p data shows that (i) the activation free energy for the total process is very high at low pressures and decreases rapidly with increasing pressure, and (ii) the activation volume in the 6–9 GPa range is −4.3 cm3 mol−1. The activation enthalpy has been obtained by measuring τ at different temperatures, and the average value in the pressure range 5–8 GPa is 12±0.5 kCal mol−1.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
