Results of investigations of chemical composition, structure and mechanical properties of high-strength titanium alloy Ti-10-2-3 in as-cast state and after thermomechanical treatment are given. Ingots were produced by remelting of consumable electrodes in a chamber-type electroslag furnace using the electromagnetic effect on the metallurgical pool. The cast metal was subjected to the thermal deformational treatment with a subsequent hardening and ageing. Analysis of metal structure did not reveal internal macro-and microdefects. Grain size of cast metal was on average 1…6, while that of deformed and heat-treated ones was 0.2…0.5 mm. In cast state the alloy strength was 936…1012 MPa at ductility of 1.7…12.5 %, while in heat-treated state it was 1190…1210 MPA and 11.7…14.9 %, respectively. The investigations of fracture surface of specimens after tensile tests revealed the dominating nature of a tough fracture. It is shown that as to the structure, chemical composition and mechanical properties the titanium alloy Ti-10-2-3 of the electroslag remelting meets the technical specifications for the given material.
