Abstract

The invention is a method for controlling the microstructure and properties of the transition zone under isothermal local loading of a near-α-type titanium alloy. The microstructure and properties of the transition zone are controlled throughout the entire thermal processing process. Process parameters in heat treatment to control the structure and properties of the transition zone. The ingot is water-cooled in the β-phase region, and re-forged at 40-50°C below the phase transition point, and water-cooled after forging. The number of local loading passes shall not exceed 2 times, the heating forging temperature shall be 20-30°C below the phase transition point, and the deformation speed shall be 0.01-0.02s -1 . After partial loading, press the press for 10 to 15 minutes to finish the forging. Rapid water cooling after forging, using strengthening and toughening heat treatment. The invention can effectively control the microstructure of the transition zone in local loading forming, and obtain a fine and uniform equiaxed α-phase + β transformation structure. The transition zone has no grain coarsening, inhomogeneity and abnormal growth, and has stable structure and mechanical strength. Good performance features.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of thermal processing, in particular to a method for controlling the microstructure and properties of a near-α-type titanium alloy isothermally locally loaded in a transition zone. 2. Technical Background [0002] Titanium alloy components for aerospace have high requirements on microstructure and mechanical properties. For near-α-type titanium alloys, die forgings require a uniform and fine equiaxed α-phase + β-transition structure to achieve a good match in mechanical properties. When using isothermal local loading to produce titanium alloy parts, the forging is only partially loaded and deformed at each forming stage, and there are loaded deformation zones, unloaded zones and transition zones on the forging during the forming process. The transition zone is deformed by the influence of the loaded zone and the unloaded zone, and the deformation non-uniformity increases. At the same time, the heating times and pr...
