Hot
Deformation of Quench Hardened Titanium Alloys As A Modern Production Method of
High Strength Structural Parts?
Titanium alloys belong to advanced
metallic materials used in hi-tech industrial branches, like aeronautics. They
are considered as a hard deformable materials - usually hot worked at the
temperature of 0.65-0.75 Tmelt. Quite narrow temperature range of hot working
makes it difficult to form near net shape parts which do not require additional
heat treatment. Industrial manufacturing processes of two-phase α + β titanium
alloys – mostly used for structural elements – include usually vacuum casting,
initial plastic working of ingots at the temperature range of β phase stability,
recrystallization annealing at the same temperature range and again plastic
working, but at the temperature range of α + β phase transformation [1].
Hot
formed parts made of two-phase titanium alloys are heat treated dependently on
demanded microstructure (lamellar, globular, bi-modal). High strength of
structural parts is achieved by quench hardening/solutioning and following
tempering/ageing. Quench hardening operation is based on martensitic
transformation β→α’(α”) which occurs during fast, continuous cooling (e.g.
water quenching) from the temperature range of stable β phase. Final mechanical
properties of heat treated parts result from effects of martensite
decomposition (tempering) or metastable phase formation (ageing) [2].
