The invention discloses a high-strength Ti-Cr-V-Al-Zr series
titanium alloy and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
metal materials. The
titanium alloy comprises, by
mass, 5.0%-6.0% of Cr, 7.0%-9.0% of V, 5.0%-7.0% of Al, 7.0%-10.5% of Zr, smaller than or equal to 0.15% of O and the balance Ti and impurities. The preparation method comprises the steps that raw materials are mixed and then subjected to cold
crucible magnetic levitation smelting under high-purity
argon, the induction current ranges from 450 A to 500 A, and the frequency ranges from 20 kHz to 25 kHz; then cogging
forging, beta-phase region
forging and two-phase region multi-directional
forging are conducted in sequence; and finally, carrying out
solid solution at 760 DEG C for 60 minutes, carrying out water
quenching, aging at 480-520 DEG C for 120 minutes, and carrying out
air cooling. Through reasonable composition proportion, on the premise that expensive
refractory elements such as Mo and Nb are removed, a multi-scale alpha / beta
composite structure is formed through the synergistic effect of Zr and Al, and the structure uniformity is controlled in cooperation with a specific
smelting and forging process, so that the yield strength of the
alloy reaches 1550-1737 MPa, the tensile strength is 1613-1778 MPa, the
ductility is 5.1-9.4%, and the alloy has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and cost advantages and is suitable for industrial production. The method is suitable for high-performance structural members in the fields of
aerospace and the like.
