Abstract

The microstructure and texture evolution of Ti60 (Ti–5.6Al–3.7Sn–3.2Zr–0.5Mo–0.4Nb–1.0Ta–0.37Si–0.05C) titanium alloy at two deformation temperatures in the α + β two-phase field, 900 °C and 980 °C, have been investigated in this work. The purpose is to elucidate local texture evolution during α + β hot working process and the mechanisms by which the macrozones formed for bimodal microstructure. To this end, a lamellar Ti60 ingot was compressed and annealed in the α + β phase field. The key finding was that the globularization mechanism of α lamellae and crystallographic orientation evolution of both α and β phases strongly depended on deformation temperature. The experimental findings and analyses suggest that hot working in the low α + β two-phase field is beneficial to reducing texture intensity and eliminating the macrozones of near-α titanium alloys.
