Beta titanium alloys have several attractive features; this has resulted in this group of alloys receiving much attention since 1980’s. Among the attributes which distinguish them for their superiority over other structural materials are (i) high strength to which they can be heat treated, resulting in high strength to weight ratio (ii) high degree of hardenability which enables heat treatment in large section sizes to high strength levels (iii) excellent hot and cold workability, making them as competitive sheet materials etc. The standard heat treatment consists of solution treatment in beta or alpha plus beta phase field followed by aging. However, certain aging treatments can render the materials in a state of little or no ductility; the designer has to be aware of this behaviour and has to keep away from such treatments while working with the materials. Such unfavourable aging treatments may adversely affect not only the static properties such as reduction in area and elongation in a tensile test, but also dynamic properties such as impact toughness. Results of fractographic studies are in line with those of mechanical testing. The authors would present the foregoing analysis, based primarily on the wide-ranging researches they carried out on beta titanium alloy Ti15-3 and to some extent data published by researchers on other grades of beta titanium alloys. An attempt is made to explain the mechanisms underlying the embrittlement reactions that take place in beta titanium alloys under non-optimal aging treatments.

Grades 23 and 29 titanium alloys are becoming more commonly used offshore for critical components of riser systems. Many of these components, such as compact flanges, operate at high mean strains due to make-up loads, often close to or above yield. Hitherto, weld fatigue data collected at low mean strains have been used for prediction of fatigue lives of such components. However, these analyses have resulted in short but adequate lives. The objective of this work was, therefore, to derive fatigue data that could be applied to components operating at high strains and over a large range of stress ratios. This necessitated strain-controlled fatigue testing. Cyclic material properties evaluated from the tests are presented. In addition, it was found that sustained strain load, a type of stress relaxation that, unlike normal stress relaxation, does not require elevated temperatures, affected the cyclic behavior It also affects the distribution of make up stresses. This phenomenon was also investigated and it was shown that the cyclic stress/strain curve, readily derived from strain-controlled fatigue tests, accounted for sustained strain load effects.

Phase constituent morphology in microstructure of two-phase α+β titanium alloys is determined by conditions of thermomechanical processing consisting of sequential heat treatment and plastic deformation operations. Results of previous research indicate that particularly solution treatment preceding plastic deformation significantly changes α-phase morphology and determines hot plasticity of titanium alloys. In the paper thermomechanical processing composed of β solution treatment and following hot forging of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was analysed. Development of martensite plates during heating up and hot deformation was evaluated. Microscopic examinations revealed that elongated and deformed α-phase grains were fragmented and transformed into globular ones. Significant influence of martensitic transformation on elongation coefficient of α-phase grains after plastic deformation was confirmed. Based on results of elevated temperature tensile tests it was established that α-phase morphology in examined two-phase α+β titanium alloy, developed in the thermomechanical processing, can enhance their hot plasticity – especially in the range of low strain rates.

The effects of alloy chemistry and heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Nb-Zr-Mo-Sn near  type titanium alloys have been investigated. Near β titanium alloys consisting of non-toxic alloying elements Mo, Nb, Zr, Sn possess a low Young’s modulus, and moderate strength and plasticity. As the hot rolled TLM alloy (Ti-25Nb-3Zr-3Mo-2Sn) possesses high strength and low Young’s modulus a detailed investigation is performed for this alloy. Solution treatment of the hot rolled TLM alloy reduces strength and increases ductility without affecting the Young’s modulus. Ageing of the solution treated TLM alloy reduces elongation and increases the Young’s modulus with little change in strength. Both solution treated and aged conditions show features of two stage yielding associated with a strain induced martensitic transformation.
