    摘要: A method of producing an article selected from a titanium article and a titanium alloy article comprises melting feed materials with a source of hydrogen to form a molten heat of titanium or a titanium alloy, and casting at least a portion of the molten heat to form a hydrogenated titanium or titanium alloy ingot. The hydrogenated ingot is deformed at an elevated temperature to form a worked article comprising a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of the hydrogenated ingot. The worked article is dehydrogenated to reduce a hydrogen content of the worked article. In certain non-limiting embodiments of the method, the dehydrogenated article comprises an average α-phase particle size of less than 10 microns in the longest dimension.

    摘要: One embodiment of a method of refining alpha-phase grain size in an alpha-beta titanium alloy comprises working an alpha-beta titanium alloy at a first working temperature within a first temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field of the alpha-beta titanium alloy. The alloy is slow cooled from the first working temperature. On completion of working at and slow cooling from the first working temperature, the alloy comprises a primary globularized alpha-phase particle microstructure. The alloy is worked at a second working temperature within a second temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field. The second working temperature is lower than the first working temperature. The is worked at a third working temperature in a third temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field. The third working temperature is lower than the second working temperature. After working at the third working temperature, the titanium alloy comprises a desired refined alpha-phase grain size.
