摘要
The relationship between the microstructures and the mechanical properties of solution-treated SP-700 titanium alloys, as obtained with different cooling rates, was investigated. The results indicate that the water-quenched alloy contains the primary alpha (alpha(p)), alpha ''-martensite and residual beta (beta(r)) phases. Aging heat treatment can convert both alpha ''-martensite and the beta(r) phases to the fine-grained alpha + beta equilibrium phases, resulting in a significant increase in tensile strength and hardness. Both the air-cooled and furnace-cooled alloys consist of the alpha(p), alpha and beta phases. The air-cooled alloy containing the fine-grained alpha phase has relatively higher hardness. Aging heat treatment causes only a slight enhancement in tensile properties because it cannot convert the phases in both alloys. Stress-induced martensitic phase transformation occurs in the water-quenched alloy under applied stress, after which the alloy exhibits higher tensile strength, higher ductility, and lower yield strength.
