Abstract
Titanium and its alloys especially Ti–6Al–4V and its ELI grade exhibit a unique combination of mechanical, physical, and corrosion resistance properties, which have led to their desirable response for critical and demanding aerospace, industrial, chemical, medical, and energy industry services. The mechanical properties of Ti–6Al–4V ELI can be altered significantly when subjected to different heat treatment cycles. β annealing of Ti–6Al–4V is one such heat treatment that finds extensive applications in industry. β annealing leads to formation of lamellar microstructure that has many desirable mechanical properties. In this work, microstructure and mechanical properties of lamellar Ti–6Al–4V ELI have been investigated.
