摘要
Hot deformation is an important procedure of metastable beta titanium alloy for manufacturing. And it is essential to improve the homogeneity of deformation microstructure in titanium alloy. In this work, the stress relaxation processing accompanied by hot compression in a metastable beta titanium alloy is designed to resolve the related mechanisms of stress relaxation by examining the microstructure evolution and improve the wear-resistance. The results demonstrated that the stress relaxation processing leads to the modification and evolution in morphology, size, and volume fraction of alpha precipitates. The alpha precipitates distribute randomly in beta matrix in a fine and equiaxed shape after stress relaxation. The elimination of deformation bands and formation of sub-grains are the mediated mechanism in the beta phase during stress relaxation. The stress relaxation makes a significant contri-bution to reduce the wear loss and improve the microstructure stability during friction. The lower wear loss can be attributed to the formation of fine beta sub-grains and the dispersed crystallographic orientations of alpha pre-cipitates. This work provides an effective method to microstructure refinement and a valuable solution to enhance the wear-resistance by tailoring the microstructural features.
