Effect of Cooling Methods on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti-3573 Alloy after Solution Treatment

Abstract:

In metastable beta Ti alloys, microstructural features can be varied over a wide range of length scales by changing different heat treatment parameters. Effect of cooling methods on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-3537 alloy after solution treatment was investigated. The result shows that with the decrease of cooling rate, the Vickers hardness of the alloy gradually increases. Among the three cooling methods of OQ, AC and FC, Ti-3573 alloy has the best shape and moderate yield strength, but tensile strength. The fractography of the β-substrate specimens showed that the fracture mode was ductile fracture. In the FC state, the α phase precipitates in a large amount in the Ti-3573 alloy, the yield strength and the tensile strength are greatly increased and the elongation is remarkably lowered. The tensile fracture shows a shallow fracture dip with low toughness.
