Statistical analysis of promoted combustion of titanium metal in enriched oxygen atmospheres
Published in the proceedings from the 62nd conference of metallurgists (COM 2023) - August 21-24, 2023 - Toronto, ON
Abstract
This chapter presents the results of ASTM G124-promoted ignition of titanium metal, with two new data sets covering high-pressure oxidation at concentrations of 10% v/v O2 and 20% v/v O2 and a total pressure of 800 psi(g) and one data sets covering medium–low-pressure oxidation at a concentration of 40% v/v O2 and a total pressure of 100 psi(g). These data are then combined with promoted ignition test data from previous investigations, with the objective of developing a statistical model for titanium flammability. The statistical model will aid the oxygen system designer in the safe use of titanium materials in elevated oxygen environment services.
