Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies of the microstructure and mechanical properties of experimental workpieces of the ultrafine-grained (UFG) VT8M-1 (Ti–5.7Al– 3.8Mo–1.2Zr–1.3Sn in wt%) alloy produced by isothermal die forging (IDF). The UFG structure in the VT8M-1 alloy was formed by a high-performance method, namely rotary swaging (RS). The structural parameters (the shape and size of the α- and β-phases) and the homogeneity of the UFG structure were analyzed in different sections of forgings. It was shown that the fraction of the primary α- phase decreases, and the size of the secondary equiaxed grains of the α- and β-phases increases from 0.3 to 0.9 µm as a result of recrystallization during IDF. The relationship between the microstructure and mechanical properties of the forged workpieces of the UFG VT8M-1 alloy is discussed.
