Titanium alloy castings are made by means of induction melting technology. The relationships thickness of lamellar α+β phase and tensile strength, yield strength, elongation percentage, and Vickers-hardness, as well as the effect of tensile property on the Vickers-hardness are investigated for Ti-6Al-4V alloy castings. The results show that the relationships between thickness of lamellar α+β phase, and tensile strength, yield strength, specific elongation, and Vickers-hardness meet the Hall-Petch equation. And the tensile property increases linearly with Vickers-hardness.

The effect of solution and aging temperatures on microstructure and tensile property of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Fe Alloy was investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength lowered, when the solution and aging temperature rose respectively. The alloy with different heat treatments showed better tensile strength totally, i.e. the minimum level of ultimate and yield strength passed 1280 MPa and 1245MPa. The highest ultimate tensile strength could reach 1445 MPa. After (α+β) solution and aging treatment, the microstructure consists of primary α phase and transformed β phase with fine secondary α phase precipitating to improve the tensile strength effectively.

In this work, the effects of centrifugal radius and mould rotation speed on the tensile strength, yield strength, specific elongation, and microhardness on Al-Cu alloy castings are investigated. The results show that, with increasing the centrifugal radius or mould rotation speed, the mechanical properties increase gradually. With increasing the centrifugal radius, the variation amplitude of mechanical properties of Al-Cu alloys at mould rotation speed 600rpm is greater than that at 300rpm. This is due to the finer microstructure and the strengthened grain boundary and then resulting in the increase of the resistance to dislocation slipping.

The present study focuses on the effect of 1% Zr addition on the microstructure, tensile properties and superplasticity of a forged SP700 alloy. The results demonstrated that Zr has a significant effect on inhibiting the microstructural segregation and increasing the volume fraction of β-phase in the forged SP700 alloy. After annealing at 820 °C for 1 h and aging at 500 °C for 6 h, the SP700 alloy with 1% Zr showed a completely globular and fine microstructure. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and tensile elongation of the alloy with optimized microstructure were 1185 MPa, 1296 MPa and 10%, respectively. The superplastic deformation was performed at 750 °C with an elongation of 1248%. The improvement of tensile properties and superplasticity of the forged SP700 alloy by Zr addition was mainly attributed to the uniform and fine globular microstructures.

A new type of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si series high temperature titanium alloy was prepared by a water-cooled copper crucible vacuum induction melting method, and its phase transition point was determined by differential thermal analysis to be Tβ = 1017 °C. The influences of solution temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-forged high temperature titanium alloy were studied. XRD results illustrated that the phase composition of the alloy after different heat treatments was mainly α phase and β phase. The microstructures showed that with the increase of the solution temperature, the content of the primary α phase gradually reduced, the β transformation structure increased by degrees, then, the number and size of secondary α phase increased obviously. The tensile results at room temperature (RT) illustrated that as the solution temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually increased, and the plasticity decreased slightly. The results of tensile test at 650 °C illustrated that the strength of the alloy enhanced with the increase of solution temperature, the plasticity decreased first and then increased, when the solution temperature increased to 1000 °C, the alloy had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, the tensile strength reached 714.01 MPa and the elongation was 8.48 %. Based on the room temperature and high temperature properties of the alloy, the best heat treatment process is finally determined as: 1000 °C/1 h/AC+650 °C/6 h/AC.

In this study, graphene-oxide (GO)-reinforced Ti–Al–Sn–Zr–Mo–Nb–Si high-temperature titanium-alloy-matrix composites were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The mixed powders with well-dispersed GO sheets were obtained by temperature-controlled solution mixing, in which GO sheets adsorb on the surface of titanium alloy particles. Vacuum deoxygenating was applied to remove the oxygen-containing groups in GO, in order to reduce the introduction of oxygen. The compact composites with refined equiaxed and lamellar α phase structures were prepared by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The results show that in-situ TiC layers form on the surface of GO and GO promotes the precipitation of hexagonal (TiZr)6Si3 particles. The composites exhibit significant improvement in strength and microhardness. The room-temperature tensile strength, yield strength and microhardness of the composite added with 0.3 wt% GO are 9%, 15% and 27% higher than the matrix titanium alloy without GO, respectively, and the tensile strength and yield strength at 600 °C are 3% and 21% higher than the matrix alloy. The quantitative analysis indicates that the main strengthening mechanisms are load transfer strengthening, grain refinement and (TiZr)6Si3 second phase strengthening, which accounted for 48%, 30% and 16% of the improvement of room-temperature yield strength, respectively.

Friction stir welding (FSW) was applied to TA15 titanium alloy plates. Welds were produced by employing rotational speed of 375rpm and a travel speed of 23.5mm/min.The microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints were investigated. Flow pattern of the materials also were analysed. The stir zone (SZ) was characterized by α-phase and β-phase, but the size of the grain in the middle of the SZ was much finer than that of the upper. The interface between the base metal (BM) and SZ is associated with the flow state of the plastic materials. Results of transverse tensile test indicated that all the joints exhibited lower tensile strength than the BM, and the maximum tensile strength of the as-welded joint is about 97.6% of the average strength of the BM.

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.

Two-phase TC21 titanium alloy samples were solution-treated at 990 °C (β phase zone) and cooled by furnace cooling (FC), air cooling (AC), and water quenching (WQ), respectively. The second solution stage treatment was carried out at 900 °C (α + β phase zone), then aging treatment was performed at 590 °C. The influence of the size and quantity of the α phase on the properties of the sample were studied. The experimental results showed as the cooling rate increased after the first solution stage treatment, wherein the thickness of primary layer α gradually decreased, and the tensile strength and yield strength gradually increased. After the second solution stage treatment, the tensile properties of samples increased due to the quantity of layers α increased. The aging treatment promoted the precipitation of the dispersed α phase and further improved the tensile strength. After the third solution stage treatments, the FC samples with more β-phase had the best comprehensive mechanical properties.
