Abstract

Abstract The microstructure and mechanical behavior of beta titanium alloy Ti–15V–3Cr–3Al–3Sn (Ti15-3) under unidirectional and high cycle fatigue (HCF) loading conditions were studied after single aging (SA) and duplex aging (DA). After SA, well-developed grain boundary α and micro precipitate free zones (micro PFZs) were present in the microstructure. Whereas after DA, grain boundary α was poorly developed and micro PFZs were absent. DA resulted in smaller size, higher density and volume fraction of alpha particles. DA led to higher work hardening rate, better strength-ductility combination and higher HCF life. Improved mechanical behavior after DA is explained based on microstructural observations.
