The invention discloses a TA4-xB
alloy and a preparation method thereof, the content of B in the
alloy is 0.01-0.5 wt%, and the balance is Ti and other impurities. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dividing
sponge titanium and TiB2 wrapped by pure
titanium foil into three equal parts,
smelting in three times by adopting a vacuum non-consumable arc
smelting furnace to obtain three button ingots, then putting the three button ingots into the
smelting furnace for secondary smelting to obtain an
alloy ingot, and finally overturning and repeatedly smelting the alloy
ingot obtained by cooling after secondary smelting for three times. A TA4-xB alloy cast
ingot with uniform components is obtained through smelting, the cast ingot is machined through a cast ingot
machine and subjected to
forging-free direct rolling to form a plate, the rolling temperature is 940 DEG C, the finish rolling temperature is 880 DEG C, five passes of rolling are conducted, the rolling deformation of the
first pass is 50% or above, and the accumulative deformation is 90%. According to the method, a proper amount of B element is added, a TiB phase is generated in the TA4
titanium material, grains are refined, and then the
mechanical property of the TA4 titanium material is improved through multi-pass large-deformation rolling. The method is low in process cost, short in flow, good in material comprehensive performance and free of large-scale equipment transformation.
