Abstract
Work on melting ingots of pseudo-β-alloy Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe and pseudo-α-alloy Ti–1.5Fe–0.4O was performed. Electron beam unit UE208M with a cold-hearth and portioned feed of liquid metal was used to produce ingots of a round cross-section of 110 mm diameter, which were deformed to 6 mm thickness. The structures of the rolled plates were studied. Metal structure of sparsely-doped alloy of Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe system consisted from equiaxed polyhedral β-grains, with dispersed particles of α-phase located in their volume, here the amount of β-phase can vary within 50…82 %, while the structure of pseudo-α-alloy Ti–1.5Fe–0.4O consisted of platelike α-phase, with β-phase located in the spaces between the plates. Dispersed particles of titanium-iron intermetallics of less than 1 μm size were observed in the structure of both the alloys. Precipitation of iron-based titanium intermetallics can be the cause for low values of ductility and brittle fracture of metal of sparsely-doped pseudo-β-alloy Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe. Strength of alloy Ti–1.5Fe–0.4O is as-rolled condition was on the level of 730 MPa. Strength of sparsely-doped alloy of Ti–2.8Al– 5.1Mo–4.9Fe system in as-rolled condition was on the level of 1015 MPa, while the values of impact toughness KCV and relative elongation were equal to 3…4 J/cm2 and 1.9 %, respectively.
