Effects of Thermomechanical Treatments on Tensile Properties of Pure Titanium

Abstract:

In order to increase strength while maintaining the ductility of material, pure titanium was improved through the thermomechanical treatment that combines rolling and heat treatment. The tensile properties of pure titanium treated by rolling and heating were investigated. Test material was JIS Grade 2. This material has a higher corrosion resistance. However, the strength of JIS Grade 2 is lower than that of JIS Grade 3. JIS Grade 2 with high strength while maintaining corrosion resistance is being developed. Techniques for improving the properties of materials with simple compositions are important. Thermomechanical treatment is used as a method for improving material properties. In the present study, the effect of thermomechanical treatment on the material properties of JIS Grade 2 was investigated. Rolling was performed at room temperature and the reduction ratio ranged from 70 to 90 %. The heating temperature was in the range of 300 to 700 °C. Heat treatment from 400 to 500 °C showed an increase in tensile strength while maintaining ductility. When the heat treatment temperature was 450 °C, the strength and elongation were approximately 600 MPa and 25 %. Tensile stress of JIS Grade 4 and the tensile strain of JIS Grade 1 were exhibited.
