Abstract

In the article discussed the phenomenon of formation and low-temperature diffusion transformation of metastable solid solutions with the release of dispersed particles of intragranular Widmanstatten α in Russian heat-resistant titanium alloys. It is shown that the intragranular Widmanstatten alpha phase can be formed at the final stage of cooling of the semi-finished product after heat treatment to a solid solution, as well as a result of aging. Examples of heterogeneous structures in various semi-finished products and details are given. The change of mechanical properties of heat-resistant titanium alloys in connection with structural dispersion hardening is considered.
