Metastable beta titanium alloy Ti-5Mo-5V-8Cr-3Al, with high-strength, favorite ductility and outstanding capacity of cold forming and welding, has been found the applications in sheet metal component, pressure vessel, corrugated shell and cold heading rivet at the temperature lower than 350°C. In the present paper, the effect of cold machining deformation rate and heat treatment process on the properties and microstructures of Ti-5Mo-5V-8Cr-3Al strip were investigated. The results revealed that excellent comprehensive mechanical properties could be achieved with the alloy by reasonable cold machining process and with solution treatment at 800°C followed by gas quenching. Upon a solution and aging treatment at 480°C, the alloy performed favorite plasticity and high ultimate tensile strength of 1250MPa.

Ti-3.5Al-5Mo-4V-2Cr-1Fe-2Zr-2Sn titanium alloy is a new high strength metastable beta titanium alloy which was designed according to the principle of ‘near critical molybdenum equivalent and multicomponent strengthening’. The effect of solution treatment on aging responses of the new alloy including room temperature tensile properties and microstructures were investigated. There is a tendency that the tensile strength is increasing with the increase of solution temperatures on the same aging conditions and water quenching from solution temperatures can produce higher age hardening effect than that treated by air cooling. The results revealed that the specific aging response of the new alloy is from the high driving force of phase precipitation together with the effect of excess vacancies.

Metastable beta titanium alloys have been known to have numerous advantages such as cold formability, high strength, good fracture resistance, deep hardenability, and cost effectiveness. Very high strength is obtainable by precipitation of the hexagonal alpha phase in a bcc beta matrix in these alloys. Precipitation hardening in the metastable beta alloys may also result from the formation of transition phases such as omega phase. Ti-15-3 (Ti-15V- 3Cr-3Al-3Sn) has been developed recently by TIMET and USAF for low cost sheet metal applications. The purpose of the present study was to examine the aging characteristics in this alloy.The composition of the as-received material is: 14.7 V, 3.14 Cr, 3.05 Al, 2.26 Sn, and 0.145 Fe. The beta transus temperature as determined by optical metallographic method was about 770°C. Specimen coupons were prepared from a mill-annealed 1.2 mm thick sheet, and solution treated at 827°C for 2 hr in argon, then water quenched. Aging was also done in argon at temperatures ranging from 316 to 616°C for various times.

Beta titanium alloys have several attractive features; this has resulted in this group of alloys receiving much attention since 1980’s. Among the attributes which distinguish them for their superiority over other structural materials are (i) high strength to which they can be heat treated, resulting in high strength to weight ratio (ii) high degree of hardenability which enables heat treatment in large section sizes to high strength levels (iii) excellent hot and cold workability, making them as competitive sheet materials etc. The standard heat treatment consists of solution treatment in beta or alpha plus beta phase field followed by aging. However, certain aging treatments can render the materials in a state of little or no ductility; the designer has to be aware of this behaviour and has to keep away from such treatments while working with the materials. Such unfavourable aging treatments may adversely affect not only the static properties such as reduction in area and elongation in a tensile test, but also dynamic properties such as impact toughness. Results of fractographic studies are in line with those of mechanical testing. The authors would present the foregoing analysis, based primarily on the wide-ranging researches they carried out on beta titanium alloy Ti15-3 and to some extent data published by researchers on other grades of beta titanium alloys. An attempt is made to explain the mechanisms underlying the embrittlement reactions that take place in beta titanium alloys under non-optimal aging treatments.

A new β-titanium alloy (Ti-3Al-5V-6Cr-3Mo-3Zr) was investigated as a function of heat treatment to evaluate its mechanical properties. The cold drawn beta-titanium alloy was subjected to β-annealing as well as solution treatment and aging treatments. The mechanical properties were evaluated using MTS Landmark-servo hydraulic Universal Testing Machine. The beta-titanium alloy demonstrated an excellent combination of strength and ductility for both β-annealing and solution treatment and aging conditions. The influence of thermal treatments on microstructure was studied with HiRox digital microscope. The fracture morphology investigated revealed predominantly cup and cone/dimpled fracture surface features demonstrating excellent toughness in addition to high strength and low stiffness that are suitable for biomedical applications.

New metastable beta titanium alloy Ti-4Al-2.7V-12Mo-10Nb-1Zr-0.2Cr was carried out in the arc melting vacuum furnace. The microstructure and mechanical properties of a new metastable beta titanium alloy Ti-4Al-2.7V-12Mo-10Nb-1Zr-0.2Cr were compared at different aging temperature and time. The growth mechanism of α phase is analysed by comparing the morphology of the precipitated phase at different temperature. Test results indicate that titanium alloy Ti-4Al-2.7V-12Mo-10Nb-1Zr-0.2Cr has the best property through two-step aging treatment. The tensile strength of titanium alloy Ti-4Al-2.7V-12Mo-10Nb-1Zr-0.2Cr after final aging treatment achieves 1180MPa with 8% elongation trough tensile test. The strengthing mechanism was also discussed in this paper.
