Effect of Thermomechanical Treatment Parameters on Structure, Phase Composition and Mechanical Properties of Ti-3Al-5Mo-4.5V Titanium Alloy

Abstract

The structure, phase composition and mechanical properties of (α+β) - titanium alloy solution treated at 850 C, cold-rolled at the reduction ratio in the range of 0... 45%, followed by ageing at 450, 500, 550 C for 0.5, 1.5, 3 hours was studied using XRD, microindentation and tensile testing. The influence of strain level at cold rolling and time-temperature parameters of ageing on the formation of structure and phase composition of solution treated and water quenched Ti-3Al-5Mo-4.5V alloy was investigated and discussed in terms of tensile properties and microhardness. The parameters of low temperature thermomechanical treatment (LTMT) of the (α+β) - alloy were proposed to obtain a high-strength state. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
