The mechanical properties and microstructures of Ti-6A1-4V were determined for specimens heat treated at temperatures from 843 °C to 1065 °C for 10 minutes and water quenched; these properties were compared with those of α-βannealed specimens. Specimens heat treated at 900 °C and water quenched had higher fatigue lives by a factor of four to ten relative to the other treatments; in addition, this treatment resulted in high ductility, yield strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus. Micro-structure studies utilizing optical and transmission microscopy showed that the improved fatigue lives were a result of a strain induced transformation of retained β to martensite. The amount of retainedβand its relative stability were shown to depend upon the heat treatment temperature. The lower the heat treatment temperature below theβtransus the smaller the amount ofβphase present before the quench and the richer theβphase inβstabilizer. The greater the concentration ofβstabilizer in theβphase the greater the probability that theβphase was retained. High heat treatment temperatures resulted in a greater amount ofβthat was less stable and more probable to transform to martensite during a water quench.
