The effects of solution and aging treatment on the mechanical properties of BTi-6554 alloy titanium were investigated. The results showed: As to βsolution and aging treatment, the increase of fracture toughness is quite conspicuous as the solution temperature was raised, but the change of strength and plasticity is not obvious; As to (α+β) solution and aging treatment, the decline of fracture toughness and plasticity is quite conspicuous as the solution temperature increased, but the strength increased. The strength of (α+β) solution and aging treatment is higher than that of βsolution and aging treatment, but the fracture toughness is relatively lower. As the aging temperature increased, the strength of the alloy gradually decreased, but the plasticity and fracture toughness gradually improved and the improvement of fracture toughness is quite conspicuous. A better combination of strength-toughness-ductibility could be obtained under the heat treatment as solution at 900~930 oC and aging treatment at 560~590 oC.

Microstructure evolution and compression property of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al titanium alloy were studied in this paper. Solution treatments were performed at temperature ranging from 710°C to 830°C and some followed by aging treatment. Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloys with α+β phase show higher mechanical properties compared with single β phase alloy. With the increase of solution temperature, the content of equiaxed α phase decrease. Consequently, the strength of the alloy increases while the plasticity drops down. The highest yield strength value of 1668 MPa was obtained in the sample treated by 770°C solution treated for 2 hours then water quenched and followed by 520°C aging for 8 hours then air cooled. The stress induced martensite α'' phase appeared after SHPB dynamic compression in the sample solution treated at 830°C.

The influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TC17 titanium alloy was investigated by changing holding time before forging and aging temperature after β-forging. A better heat treatment mechanism was chosen according to its working requirements. The results showed that the holding time and aging temperature had a significant influence on microstructures and mechanical properties of TC17 alloy. With the increase of holding time before forging in the single β phase region, the original β grain size enlarge, the strength and fracture toughness decrease, and the plasticity increases. The size of lamellar α-phase bundles enlarge with the rise of aging temperature after β-forging, the orientated relationship becomes simple, and the content of β-transformation increases. And the plasticity and fracture toughness of the alloy increase, the strength and hardness decreases. The fracture toughness is better under the heat treatment mechanism at 873°C/2h +918°C/64min before forging, 800°C/4h,WC+660°C /8h AC after forging, with the high and low cycle fatigue properties meet the technical requirements.

The cytotoxic tissue reactions of alloying elements (Al, V) of Ti-6Al-4V have been reported, whereas the Ti-39Nb-6Zr (TNZ40) alloy developed by adding β-phase stabilizing elements is known to have no cytotoxicity and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. In addition, there is a slight modulus difference between the TNZ40 alloy and human bones as the elastic modulus of the TNZ40 alloy is very low. This can inhibit detrimental effects such as osteoblast loss due to a stress-shielding effect. In this study, various Si contents were added and heat treatment under various conditions was performed to control the microstructure and mechanical properties of the TNZ40 alloy. In the β-type titanium alloy, the ω phase is commonly observed by quenching from the solution-treatment or aging-treatment temperature. These ω precipitates can typically increase the elastic modulus, hardness, and embrittlement of the β-type titanium alloy, which are important to control this phase. The correlation between Si content and precipitation and the effects of solution treatment and aging condition on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, and hardness, were analyzed.

AbstractThe solution-aging treatment parameters, including solution temperature, cooling rate and aging temperature, have significant influences on the microstructures and comprehensive mechanical properties of titanium alloy. In this work, the detailed microevolution behaviors of Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al alloy under different solution and aging conditions have been investigated through a series of heat-treatment experiments. The results of solution-treatment experiments reveal that the content of αp-phase is reduced to zero as the solution temperature is raised to a certain α → β critical transformation point. Recrystallized β-grains can be observed at the solution temperature of 820°C. In addition, the cooling way (air cooling or water cooling) has little influence on the microevolution behaviors for this alloy during the solution-treatment process. As for the solution-aging-treatment experiments, the results reveal that αs-phases are precipitated from the supersaturated β-phase, and the fraction of αs-phase increases with increasing aging temperature. However, the precipitated α-grains intend to coalesce and coarsen as the aging temperature raises above 510°C. Therefore, the advocated solution-aging-treatment program is solution treatment at 820°C with air cooling followed by aging treatment at 510°C with air cooling.

The effect of stepped aging treatment including two-stepped retrogression aging and retrogression reaging treatment on the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and the microstructure of AA7085 has been investigated. Electron microscopy observations were used to analyze the microstructures and tensile fracture surfaces of AA7085 processed via various treatment schedules. Besides, X-ray diffractometer and differential scanning calorimeter were used to explore the thermodynamic factors of heat treatment. Through the investigation of the effect of the retrogression time on the properties and microstructure of AA7085, the optimized retrogression time was confirmed. The results of comparing retrogression aging and retrogression reaging treatment showed that through RRA treatment, higher conductivity and fracture toughness were gained. Through the optimized RRA treatment based on appropriate retrogression time, the tensile strength, elongation, fracture toughness and conductivity of AA7085 were raised to 660MPa, 12%,36.6MPa•m1/2and 38.1%IACS.

As the concept of aerospace design is changed, research objectives of titanium alloys also changed from high strength to high damage tolerance. High strength, high toughness titanium alloys with damage-tolerance have been investigated under the support of a national project since 2003. TC21 titanium alloy is the first Chinese-developed high strength, high toughness and damage-tolerance titanium alloy. The mechanical property of TC21 alloy is sensitive to solution temperature and aging temperature. The rods of TC21 alloy with the diameter of 20mm and 90mm possess good mechanical properties after solution at 900°C followed by aging at 600°C.

This work presents a comprehensive study on the microstructure evolution and mechanical property under different heat treatment procedures of a new near β type titanium Ti-5321(Ti-5Al-3Mo-3V-2Cr-2Zr-1Nb-1Fe). Two solution temperatures(830°C and 900°C) and a group of aging temperatures(300-650°C) were carried out to investigate the influence of heat treatment on this new alloy. The strengthening mechanism of Ti-5321 after solution and aging treatment was discussed by analyzing the microstructure and its mechanical properties. The best ultimate tensile strength can be achieved to 1564 MPa with 5% on elongation when solution treated at 830°C and aging at 450°C for this new alloy. The lamellar and globular α grains can be found in all 830°C solution treated specimens which contribute to a better ductility. Ultra-fine α phase can be found in all low aging temperature treated specimens but will coarsen significantly when raising the aging temperature and thus increase the tensile strength and lower the ductility. All these results can provide a comprehensive guidance on heat treatment for this new near β type titanium in the future.

The effects of solution temperature and aging temperature on microstructure of a new metastable β titanium alloy were studied. With the decrease of solution temperature, β grain size gradually decreased. When the solution temperature dropped to 780°C, the average grain size was about 10 μm. As the aging temperature increased from 500 °C to 560 °C, the secondary α phase increased. The nucleation of the secondary α phase within the grain was uniform, and its relationship with the β matrix was satisfied with Burgers. With the extension of aging time, the amount of the secondary α phases increased obviously, and they had a staggered arrangement with each other, presenting the phenomenon of the tensile strength increasing continuously. The strength level reached to 1500 MPa after aging at 500 °C for 8 h.
