Effect of Cooling Medium on Solution Treatment Response of Titanium Alloy Ti-5Al-5V-2Mo

Abstract:

Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace industry in the areas of pressure vessels, airframe structures, landing gears, aeroengine compressor blades etc. The principal qualities of titanium alloys required for these applications are high specific strength, low density and high specific modulus. Among the families of Ti alloys, high strength titanium alloys come under martensitic α + β and metastable β alloys. Titanium alloy Ti-5Al-5V-2Mo (BT-23) is an important example of martensitic α + β alloy similar to the work horse Ti6Al4V alloy which exhibits good combination of strength and ductility in solution treated and aged conditions. But due to quenching from solution treatment temperature, the alloy tends to retain good amount of residual stresses. The severity of residual stress increases with increase in solution treatment temperature as well as severity of quench. An attempt has been made to study the effect of air cooling subsequent to solution treatment to compare the strength of the alloy vis-à-vis that achievable during water quenching. An attempt has also been made to correlate the microstructure evolution, hardness with variation in solution treatment temperature and quench severity in titanium alloy Ti-5Al-2Mo-5V. Samples subjected to air cooling subsequent to solution treatment exhibited higher microhardness when compared to water quenched samples. It is proposed that dynamic aging and/ or stress relieving occurs during air cooling from solution treatment temperature down to room temperature. Also the fine α precipitates formed during air cooling may be resulting in higher hardness compared to the α’’/α’ formed during water quenching. The same has been supported by thermal analysis of air cooling and water quenching processes employed subsequent to solution treatment.
