Ti-VMoCrFeZrAl β-Type Titanium Alloy with High Strength Obtained by Composition Design and Cold Rolling with Heat Treatment
摘要
In this study, a Ti-5V4Mo2Cr1Fe2Zr3Al (wt.%) metastable β-type titanium alloy is designed using parameters such as molybdenum equivalent ([Mo]eq) and Bo-Md. The homogenized ingot is hot-rolled and then subjected to a cold rolling process interspersed with annealing. The EBSD results reveal that the microstructure of the annealed alloy consisted of extremely fine single BCC grains, EBSD-based kernel average misorientation, and geometrically necessary dislocation maps indicate a uniform distribution of dislocations in β grains after annealing. This annealed alloy exhibits high strength and good plasticity, with a yield strength of 720 MPa and a fracture elongation of 32%. Moreover, after aging at 500 °C for 24 h, the alloy forms uniform and fine α precipitates within the β grains. This aged alloy exhibits a high yield strength of 1410 MPa and a fracture elongation of 6%. The yield strength of the alloy is calculated using different strengthening models, and the results are consistent with the experimental findings.
