Low cost and high strength titanium alloy and heat treatment process

摘要

Systems and methods of a low cost, high strength titanium alloy are disclosed. According to illustrative implementations, the weight percent of the alloy composition may be: Fe content 3%˜7%, Al content 3%˜5%, C content 0.01%˜0.02%, with the balance being Ti and unavoidable impurities. Industrial pure iron, carbon steel, and industrial pure aluminum etc. may be used as the raw materials. In one exemplary method, the raw materials are mixed before being pressed to a block. The block may be double-melted to an alloy cast ingot, forged by a conventional titanium alloy forging process, and subsequently undergo a solid solution treatment of (820° C.˜950° C.)/1 h+water quenching, and an ageing treatment of (450° C.˜550° C.)/4 h+air cooling, wherein the mechanical properties of the alloy are that σb=1000˜1250 MPa, δ=5%-12%.
