Can the titanium plate material be quenched?
Therefore, such titanium alloy can not heat treatment to strengthen, usually only annealing.
Generally only a single α-stabilized element or neutral element of the titanium alloy, although heated to the β-phase quenching, but not the metastable phase.
Titanium alloy quenching can not get the stability phase, is to determine whether the strengthening of titanium alloy heat treatment prerequisites
Heat treatment is an important means to improve the microstructure and properties of titanium alloys. Titanium alloy heat treatment to strengthen the basic principles, both with the aluminum alloy is similar to the quenching aging type; and steel heat treatment is similar, there are martensitic transformation
However, titanium and β-stabilized elements such as molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, niobium, tantalum and chromium, iron, manganese and other alloys, heated to the β phase quenching, you can get different metastable phase, such as α ', α " , Ω and the supercooled β 'phase.In this type of titanium alloy, the mechanical properties of the alloy are changed due to the formation of these metastable phases, so that the titanium alloy can be heat treated
