[0060] Experimental example

[0061] The method in examples 1-6 is used to perform on-site preparation test and test the performance of the product, and a plurality of comparative examples are set to perform comparison, wherein, the comparative example 1 is basically the same as the example 1, except that the heating temperature of the first annealing is 900 DEG C, the holding time is 150 min, the cooling mode is air-cooling, the heating temperature of the second annealing is 590 DEG C, the holding time is 240 min, and the cooling mode is air-cooling.

[0062] The comparative example 2 is basically the same as the example 1, except that the heating temperature of the first annealing is 900 DEG C, the holding time is 150 min, the cooling mode is water-cooling, the water temperature is 95 DEG C, the heating temperature of the second annealing is 590 DEG C, the holding time is 240 min, and the cooling mode is air-cooling.

[0063] The comparative example 3 is basically the same as the example 1, except that the heating temperature of the first annealing is 890 DEG C, the holding time is 180 min, the cooling mode is air-cooling, the heating temperature of the second annealing is 510 DEG C, the holding time is 240 min, and the cooling mode is air-cooling.

[0064] The comparative example 4 is basically the same as the example 1, except that the heating temperature of the first annealing is 900 DEG C, the holding time is 120 min, the cooling mode is oil-cooling, the oil temperature is 45 DEG C, the heating temperature of the second annealing is 590 DEG C, the holding time is 240 min, and the cooling mode is air-cooling.

[0065] Comparative Example 5 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the heating temperature of the first annealing is 890℃, the holding time is 120min, the cooling method is water cooling with water temperature of 95℃, the heating temperature of the second annealing is 590℃, the holding time is 240min, and the cooling method is air cooling;

[0066] The properties of the TC21 titanium alloy parts prepared in Examples 1, 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were then detected, and the results are shown in Table 1. It should be noted that in Examples 1-6, the parameters in steps S1, S2 and S3 were selected within a reasonable error range and had little effect on the experimental results. However, the adjustment of the parameters for sawing the test bar blanks had an effect on the experimental results. This is because smaller test bar blanks are quenched faster during cooling, and thus the α phase content is different, thereby affecting the final properties of the TC21 titanium alloy parts.

[0067] Table 1 Properties of TC21 titanium alloy parts of examples and comparative examples

[0068]

[0069] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the TC21 titanium alloy parts prepared in Examples 1, 4-6 meet the high performance requirements of strength ≥ 1200MPa, yield ≥ 1100MPa, and A ≥ 8, and meet the requirements of aircraft material properties. This is because in the examples and comparative examples, we mainly adjusted the cooling method and holding time of the double annealing heat treatment. Different cooling methods result in different cooling rates, and the cooling rate of TC21 titanium alloy is water cooling > oil cooling > air cooling > air cooling. Therefore, it can be seen that in Comparative Examples 2, 4 and 5, the faster cooling method is used, thereby increasing the tensile strength and yield strength of the TC21 titanium alloy parts, but greatly reducing the elongation after fracture. The secondary lamellar or spherical α phase is obtained by the first annealing, and the acicular α phase is obtained by the second annealing. The content of α phase improves the strength of the titanium alloy, but too much α phase also affects the plasticity of the material, greatly reducing the elongation after fracture;

[0070] By comparing the two sets of data in Example 1 and Example 4, it can be seen that the TC21 titanium alloy parts obtained by double annealing heat treatment of test bar blanks with smaller sizes have higher elongation, and the tensile strength and yield strength meet the requirements. However, the TC21 titanium alloy parts obtained by directly double annealing heat treatment of the die forgings have higher tensile strength and yield strength, and the elongation also meets the requirements. The selection can be made according to the needs.

[0071] In Comparative Example 1, the main difference from the examples is that the heating temperature of the second annealing is higher, and the tensile strength and yield strength of the TC21 titanium alloy parts obtained are lower.

[0072] In Comparative Example 3, the main difference from the examples is that the holding time during the first annealing is longer, thus resulting in a decrease in the tensile strength and yield strength of the TC21 titanium alloy part;

[0073] In comparison of the examples in each group, it can be seen that the TC21 titanium alloy part prepared in Example 1 has the best performance.
