Recovery and Recrystallization Behavior of Large Sized β Phase Grains in TC18 Titanium Alloy during Annealing Process

Abstract:

The manufacturing processes of TC18 titanium alloy bar takes about 10 times forging. During forging, the β phase grain experiences a series complicated process such as recovery, recrystallization and grain growth. Larger sized β phase grains can easily be formed under different conditions such as insufficient deformation or slow cooling rate during the forging process, which may affect the mechanical properties of TC18 bars. In order to find out the causes and elimination methods of large β grains, this paper used EBSD techniques to analyze the microstructure and texture of TC18 titanium bar at center layer, 1/2R layer and surface layer after the process of forging and heat treatment. Results show that a large portion of β grains experiences recovery and grain growth, while a minor portion of β grains only experiences recrystallization after α+β region heat treatment. Most β grains experience recrystallization, while for those β grains which are hard to be swallowed by recrystallized grains only experience recovery after β region heat treatment. Rather than eliminate the large sized β grains, it’s even easier for those β grains to grow up during annealing process under the condition of insufficient deformation.
