Abstract
A study is made of the structure of alloy VT22 with thermal cycling treatment (TCT) and also with TCT and prior ultrasonic irradiation (USI) by the methods of metallography, electron microscopy, and hardness measurements. It is shown that TCT for annealed specimens promotes recrystallization, fragmentation, and spheroidization of α and β phases.
It is established that TCT of specimens quenched to β phase previously treated with ultrasonic radiation leads to formation of α-phase platelets of considerably smaller dimensions and more strongly fragmented compared with α-phase platelets after TCT for unirradiated specimens.
