Abstract
The Ti fire found in high performance engines promotes the development of burn resistant Ti alloys. The burn resistant mechanism of Ti40 alloy is investigated. Ti40 alloy reveals good burn resistance because of its low melting point, high thermal conductivity, low oxidation heat and stable single β phase structure. Its interfacial products between burning products and the matrix are tenacious, which retards the diffusion of oxygen into the matrix. Two burn resistant mechanisms, that is, fast scatter dispersion of heat and suppression of oxygen diffusion, are proposed.
