Problems solved by technology

However, the lamellar structure has the disadvantage of greatly reducing the tensile plasticity or fatigue strength at room temperature. How to control the microstructure characteristics of the material through the β heat treatment parameters of the high-strength titanium alloy in order to achieve the performance advantages of the lamellar structure and avoid its plasticity. It is of great significance to solve the contradiction between alloy strength, plasticity and toughness.

Abstract

The invention provides a thermal processing process for improving the damage tolerance performance of a titanium alloy forge piece. The thermal processing process comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out solution treatment on a titanium alloy forge piece forged below a phase transformation point temperature; (2) after the solution treatment, cooling the titanium alloy forge piece to a temperature which is 60-80 DEG C lower than the phase transformation point, and carrying out air cooling until the titanium alloy forge piece reaches a room temperature; and (3) carrying out ageing treatment on the air-cooled titanium alloy forge piece, and carrying out air cooling until the titanium alloy forge piece reaches a room temperature. By utilizing the titanium alloy forge piece, with an initial microscopic structure containing an equiaxed structure, a basket-weave structure or a duplex structure, forged below the phase transformation point temperature, as a thermal processing object, the thermally processed titanium alloy forge piece has a relatively high strength and good plasticity and tenacity and simultaneously has relatively low fatigue crack extending rate, so that the limitation that the strength, plasticity and damage tolerance performance of titanium alloy which is subjected to traditional solution treatment-ageing treatment or solution furnace cooling treatment are difficult to be well matched is broken through.
