Microstructural development in relation to hot working of titanium alloys

Abstract

AbstractAbstractThe relationships between titanium alloy microstructures and mechanical properties are reviewed. The influence of hot working on microstructure development is discussed, and developments in high temperature processing, including superplastic forming and isothermalforging, and the use of hydrogen as a temporary alloying addition are considered. Recent work aimed at modelling the high temperature deformation and microstructure development is also examined.MST/1265
