Ordered-alpha titanium alloys having a DO19 type structure have good potential for high temperature (600°C) applications, due to the thermal stability of the ordered phase and the inherent resistance to recrystallization of these alloys. Five different Ti-Al-Ga alloys consisting of equal atomic percents of aluminum and gallium solute additions up to the stoichiometric composition, Ti3(Al, Ga), were used to study the growth kinetics of the ordered phase and the nature of its interface.The alloys were homogenized in the beta region in a vacuum of about 5×10-7 torr, furnace cooled; reheated in air to 50°C below the alpha transus for hot working. The alloys were subsequently acid cleaned, annealed in vacuo, and cold rolled to about. 050 inch prior to additional homogenization

A thermodynamic model was developed to determine the interactions of hydrogen, stress and anodic dissolution at the crack-tip during near-neutral pH stress corrosion cracking in pipelines. By analyzing the free-energy of the steel in the presence and absence of hydrogen and stress, it is demonstrated that a synergism of hydrogen and stress promotes the cracking of the steel. The enhanced hydrogen concentration in the stressed steel significantly accelerates the crack growth. The quantitative prediction of the crack growth rate in near-neutral pH environment is based on the determination of the effect of hydrogen on the anodic dissolution rate in the absence of stress, the effect of stress on the anodic dissolution rate in the absence of hydrogen, the synergistic effect of hydrogen and stress on the anodic dissolution rate at the crack-tip and the effect of the variation of hydrogen concentration on the anodic dissolution rate.

The influence of various factors on the efficiency of microstructure refinement in two-phase titanium alloys with respect to a well-known Ti-6Al-4V alloy was discussed. The kinetics of microstructure evolution in titanium alloys with a lamellar type α/β microstructure during large plastic deformation depends mainly on temperature and strain rate, type of the initial microstructure, thickness of the α lamellae, path of deformation and chemical composition. Each parameter should be controlled to provide the most efficient microstructure refinement during conventional metalforming methods.

Although stress corrosion cracking (SCC) growth is attributed to the synergistic effects of stress and corrosion, these two factors can just as easily become competing mechanisms, with stress cycles driving growth (hydrogen, the by-product of corrosion, may facilitate the growth), and corrosion working to blunt the crack tip and arrest growth. It follows that reducing the maximum pressure and cycling severity can slow down the crack growth or even stop it, and aggressive corrosion can further blunt the sharp crack tip. The Authors have observed, on a particular Polyethylene (PE) tape coated pipeline, instances where SCC has exhibited a propensity to corrode and convert into sharp edge corrosion. This is attributed to the combined effects of limited corrosion protection and low stresses. The focus of the paper is to assist operators in recognizing this phenomenon and integrate lessons learned into pipeline integrity management strategies.
