Abstract

Presents the classification and features of various subgroups of metastable β-titanium alloys, considers typical approaches for their heat treatment and thermomechanical processing. The results of recent studies that form trends for further development in the field of heat treatment and thermomechanical processing technologies for metastable β-titanium alloys are presented. It is noted that the main trend of most publications is the use of modern high-tech research methods: SEM, HRTEM, EBSD. Among the most important trends in the study area, one can single out works related to obtaining and controlling the characteristics of a bimodal and multimodal structure in order to increase the level and ensure a balance of the complex of mechanical and operational properties.
