Abstract
The properties of quenched Ti-Fe alloys have been correlated with their microstructures. For specimens quenched from equilibrium in the α-β field, the dominant micro-structural variable is the α-β ratio. A comparison of specimens having equiaxed α-β structures with those having acicular α-β structures shows that the equiaxed specimens have better tensile ductility, but lower impact resistance. There is evidence to show that specimens with acicular structures reach equilibrium in the α-β field more rapidly than specimens with equiaxed structures. Both strength and ductility are lowered by heat treatments below 700°C.
