Abstract

Phase and structural transformations that occur upon the aging of a titanium alloy based on the O phase have been investigated. The formation of a special type of arrangement (zigzag or packet ensembles) of the O-phase plates that arise in the course of the β → O transformation has been detected. Using transmission electron microscopy, the multistage character of structural changes during the α2 → O transformation has been studied, and a schematic of the occurrence of the transformation has been proposed. The microdurometric characteristics of the indicated alloy that were obtained after different aging regimes have been estimated.
