What is Titanium Heat Treating?

Titanium alloy is subjected to strengthening heat treatment, that is, solid solution and aging treatment. This process can significantly increase the strength of the alloy, in order to obtain the comprehensive properties of high strength and good plasticity. The strengthening heat treatment of titanium alloy consists of a two-step process of solid solution treatment and aging. This is a quite complicated process. The remaining phase remains unchanged during quenching and high temperature heating. The phase can be converted into , , according to the alloy composition , and other metastable phases, these metastable phases transform into a diffuse ( + ) phase during aging, which significantly strengthens the alloy. ^[1]
