The Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al
Abstract
In Ti-10-2-3 a variety of aged microstructures with different volume fractions and morphologies of primary and secondary alpha and also grain boundary alpha has been tensile tested. The results can be summarized as follows: (1) For a constant volume fraction of primary alpha it is possible to vary the yield stress in a wide range; it is also possible to reach comparable yield stress levels for different volume fractions of alpha by an appropriate choice of aging temperatures and times as well as heating up rates to the aging temperatures; (2) Increasing the volume fraction of primary alpha reduces the ductility at comparable yield stresses for the alpha-aged conditions. Only the beta-ST conditions with no primary alpha are an exception. They have lower ductilities than the (alpha + beta) ST conditions. The omega-aged microstructures have the lowest ductilities at comparable yield stresses; (3) The differences in ductilities between the (alpha + beta) ST and alpha-aged, the beta-ST and alpha-aged and the omega-aged microstructures are qualitatively related to different fracture modes; and (4) Microstructures from a different forging which instead of the above tested globular primary alpha have elongated primary show lower ductilities at comparable yield stresses.
