The application discloses a kind of TC18
titanium alloy bar and preparation method thereof, belong to
titanium alloy technical field.The method comprises the following steps: S1, according to TC18
titanium alloy target component allocation, is made into
ingot by multiple VAR melting;S2, the
ingot is heated to 1140~1210 ℃, after heat preservation, multiple fire times
upset forging is carried out, and first grade
forging blank is obtained;S3, the first grade
forging blank is in the range of 50~200 ℃ above
beta phase point and is carried out multiple fire times
upset forging, and secondary
forging blank is obtained;S4, the secondary forging blank is in the range of 40~60 ℃ below
beta phase point and is carried out multiple fire times
upset forging, and
tertiary forging blank is obtained;S5, the
tertiary forging blank is in the range of 50~70 ℃ below
beta phase point and is carried out one fire time lengthening forging, and bar is obtained;S6, the bar is
heat treated, and finished product TC18
titanium alloy bar is obtained.The scheme of the application realizes the
synergy optimization of the strength and
toughness of TC18
titanium alloy bar by the synergistic control of component optimization design, multi-stage forging process and
specific heat treatment system, and significantly improves the organization uniformity of TC18
titanium alloy bar.
