    Abstract

    The effect of heat treatment on the phase morphologies and mechanical properties of a hot-forged near-β VT22 titanium alloy has been investigated in detail. The mechanical properties were found to be sensitive to the volume fraction and morphologies of the a phase. Solution treatment (ST) between 750°C and 900°C followed by ice water quenching changed the phase morphology of the primary a phase from lath-like to spherical. Increasing the ST temperature resulted in a decrease in the volume fraction of the alpha phase. This decreased both the strength and ductility. However,the mechanical properties are significantly improved by aging between 500°C and 600°C.
