The invention discloses a method for improving the superelasticity of
beta titanium alloy by preparing submicron grains, which comprises the following steps: firstly, obtaining a
beta titanium alloy cast
ingot by a vacuum
argon arc melting method, and carrying out homogenization
solution treatment on the
beta titanium alloy cast
ingot to ensure that a single
beta phase structure is obtained; the method comprises the following steps: firstly, treating a
beta titanium alloy ingot, then, carrying out large-deformation cold rolling treatment on the treated
beta titanium alloy ingot with the cold rolling deformation being greater than 94%, and finally, carrying out low-temperature short-time
solution treatment on the alloy plate subjected to large-deformation cold rolling treatment with the
solution treatment temperature being 50-100 DEG C higher than the beta transformation temperature for 150-200s, so as to obtain the
beta titanium alloy with submicron grains. According to the beta
titanium alloy subjected to large-deformation cold rolling and low-temperature short-time solution treatment, the grain size reaches the submicron level, the minimum grain size is 0.3 micron, and the
total recovery strain reaches up to 4.85%; according to the method, beta
titanium alloy grains are refined to the submicron level through large-deformation cold rolling and low-temperature short-time solution treatment, so that the hyperelasticity of the beta
titanium alloy grains is remarkably improved.
