Embodiment 1

[0026] TC4-DT titanium alloy is a large complex variable cross-section free forging after forging in the α + β zone (the maximum size of the outer shape is 2400 (L) mm × 590 mm (T) × 260 mm (ST), the maximum thickness is 260 mm, and the minimum thickness is 100 mm. The weight of the forging is up to 800kg). After adopting the above-mentioned divisional β heat treatment process, it is then kept at 730°C for 4 hours and air-cooled. The results of chemical anatomy analysis show that the microstructure uniformity of different parts of the forging is good ( figure 1 ), the uniformity of mechanical properties is good (Table 2 and Table 3), and the strength-plasticity-toughness matching is good.

Abstract

The invention discloses an accuracy control-based novel titanium alloy partitioned beta heat treatment process. The process includes: first subjecting alpha+beta area forged alpha type and alpha-beta type titanium alloys to preheating at Tbeta-(20DEG C-40DEG C), calculating the heat preservation time according to t(min)=eta*delta max, with the delta max being the largest section thickness of a forged piece and the heating coefficient eta ranging from 0.5 to 0.8; then raising the temperature to (Tbeta-5DEG C)-(Tbeta+5DEG C) along with a furnace, and calculating the heat preservation time t(min) according to the above calculation formula, with the heating coefficient eta ranging from 0.2 to 0.6; and then raising the temperature to (Tbeta+5DEG C)-(Tbeta+30DEG C) along with the furnace again, and calculating the heat preservation time t(min) according to the above calculation formula, with the heating coefficient eta ranging from 0.2 to 0.5; and subjecting the forged piece discharged from the furnace to air cooling or cooling at certain cooling rate. The process is suitable for heat treatment of large, complex, variable section alpha type and alpha-beta type titanium alloy forged pieces, so that required high comprehensive performance lamellar structures with high ductility, high toughness and low fatigue crack propagation ability can be obtained, thus meeting the requirements of airplane and aero-engine manufacturing for large and complex variable section forged pieces or parts with uniform structure performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a precise control-based titanium alloy partition β heat treatment process. Background technique [0002] With the gradual adoption of advanced durability / damage tolerance design principles for large aircraft at home and abroad, titanium alloy forgings are required not only to have good strength and plasticity matching, but also to have high fracture toughness (K IC ) and low fatigue crack growth rate (da / dN). Compared with other types of titanium alloy microstructures (basket structure, two-state structure, and equiaxed structure), the lamellar structure has a certain width of bundled sheet-like distribution of the α phase, which makes the crack propagation form a tortuous path, so it can obtain a lot of High K IC value and lower da / dN. However, the disadvantage of the lamellar structure is that the grain boundaries of the β grains are continuous and straight α phases, which significantly reduces the plasticity of the alloy....
