Abstract:

In order to develop new β (bcc) Ti alloys, the Ti-Fe-Sn system was focused and phase constitution, microstructure, mechanical properties of Ti-5mol%Fe-6mol%Sn and Ti-6mol%Fe-3mol%Sn were clarified in addition to aging effect. It was estimated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that α phase is formed at temperature from 773-779K and that β transus temperature is 1019K in both the alloys. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, in both alloys, β single phase is formed after the solution treatment (ST) at 1273K followed by water quenching, while α phase is formed after the aging at 773K and 873K for 3.6ks. The formation of α phase is also confirmed by optical microscopy. The volume fraction of α phase reaches to 90% in Ti-5Fe-6Sn and 80% in Ti-6Fe-3Sn after the aging at 873K for 3.6ks. The 0.2% proof stress was increased by aging at 873K from 550MPa to 650MPa in Ti-5Fe-6Sn and 500MPa to 690MPa in Ti-6Fe-3Sn. Besides, apparent Young’s modulus measured by dynamic mechanical analysis was raised by the aging treatment. These changes in the mechanical properties were discussed in connection with α phase precipitation.
