TC16 titanium alloy is a martensite α+β two-phase high strength titanium alloy, which can improve its structure and enhance properties through heat treatment. Effect of annealing process on microstructure and tensile properties of TC16 titanium alloy was investigated using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and universe tensile test machine. The results show that when annealed at 720°C for 4h then furnace cooling to ambient temperature, the tensile strength of the TC16 alloy reaches nearly 900MPa,the elongation reaches 19.6% and the reduction of area reaches 65%, which present a good comprehensive performance.

The paper deals with the main formation patterns of structure and properties of a titanium alloy of the Ti-6Al-4V system during additive manufacturing using cold metal transfer (CMT) wire deposition. The work aims to find the optimal conditions for layer-by-layer deposition, which provides the high physical and mechanical properties of the titanium alloy of the Ti-6Al-4V system hybrid, additively manufactured using CMT deposition. Particular attention is paid to interpass forging during the layered printing of the product. Additionally, we investigate how the heat treatment affects the structure and properties of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy that has been CMT-deposited, both with and without forging. These studies have shown that the hybrid multilayer arc deposition technology, with interpass strain hardening, allows the use of high temperature and high technology titanium alloys to obtain products of a required geometric shape. It has been proven that the interpass deformation effect during CMT deposition contributes to a significant decrease in the sizes of the primary β-grains. In addition, forging enhances the effect of microstructure refinement, which is associated with phase recrystallization in deformed areas. It is shown that the heat treatment leads not only to a change in the morphology of the phases but also to additional phase formations in the structure of the Ti-6Al-4V-deposited metal while the mechanism is realized and consists of the gradual decomposition of the martensitic α′-phase and the formation of a dispersive α2-phase. This structure formation process is accompanied by the dispersion hardening of the α-phase. The strength characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy obtained using layer-by-layer CMT with forging are given; they exceed the strength level of materials obtained with the traditional technologies of pressure treatment, and there is no decrease in plasticity characteristics. The use of the subsequent heat treatment makes it possible to increase the ductility characteristics of the deposited and forged Ti-6Al-4V material by 1.5–2 times without strength loss.

Abstract Mechanical properties of the two-phase titanium alloy Ti6Al7Nb, after the heat treatment based on soaking this alloy in the α + β range, cooling in water or oil and ageing at two selected temperatures, were determined in the hereby paper. The alloy mechanical properties were determined in tensile and impact tests, supported by the fractographic analysis of fractures. In addition, its hardness was measured and the analysis of changes occurring in the microstructure was performed for all variants of the alloy heat treatment. Regardless of the applied cooling rate of the alloy, from a temperature of 970°C followed by ageing at 450 and 650°C, none essential changes were noticed in its microstructure. It was shown that applying less intensive cooling medium (oil) instead of water (before tempering) decreases strength properties indicators, i.e. tensile strength and yield strength as well as hardness (only slightly). The decrease of the above mentioned indicators is accompanied by an increase of an elongation and impacts strength. Fractures of tensile and impact tests are of a ductile character regardless of the applied heat treatment.
