Abstract

hi the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the alpha phase is gradually transformed into the beta phase until beta-transus temperature (approximate to1000 degreesC) is reached, and the transformation completed. It is important to identify transformation kinetics (mainly in other titanium alloy types, as near alpha) to accomplish solution heat treatments in which a phase alpha percentage (primary alpha) remains unchanged. In this paper, kinetics and other transformation characteristics are evaluated, as well as their influence on subsequent cooling transformations, by differential and dilatometric thermal analysis, electric conductivity measurements, hardness measurements and metallographic observation, after performing controlled thermal treatments. Starting from the mill annealed condition, samples were heated at temperatures between 650-1000 degreesC for 1 hour, then water quenched and subsequently heated at 530 degreesC for 6 hours, air cooled. Finally, the mechanical properties of samples heat treated as indicated above were obtained.
