Anα+βtype titanium alloy was subjected to various periods of recrystallization annealing and the resulting microstructural evolution was characterized. The results revealed that the recrystallization rate of theβphase was higher than that of theαphase, owing to the high strain energy storage of this phase during large deformation forging. Moreover, the recrystallized fraction of both theαandβphases increased with increasing holding time at 740 °C. The recrystallization fraction of theβphase accounted for 70.13% after annealing for 5 h. However, the average grain size remained constant when the recrystallization fraction reached approximately 54%, indicating that further grain refinement was prevented, owing to the high degree of recrystallization. The spatial microstructure which consisted of a globular, homogeneous, and equiaxedαphase dispersed in sub-structuredβmatrix grains, was characterized via a novel three-dimensional electron backscatter diffraction technique. The grain orientation and morphological parameters, including the equivalent-sphere diameter and number of neighboring grains, were calculated and discussed.
