Influence of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Physicomechanical Properties of Titanium Alloys of the Ti−Nb−Mo system

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We present the results of investigation of the structure and properties of four titanium alloys of the Ti–Nb–Mo system after their subsolidus annealing and annealing with quenching from 870°С. The obtained results indicate that heat treatment strongly affects the phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, Young’s modulus, and elastic properties of investigated specimens. The annealed alloys are two-phase α′ + β alloys and their Young’s modulus is close to Young’s modulus of pure titanium (87–100 GРа). Quenching leads to the formation of the α′′ -phase and the amount of β -phase becomes insignificant. As a result, the microhardness somewhat decreases and Young’s modulus becomes ∼ 1.5 times lower.
