Heat treaters in the medical and aerospace sectors will eagerly tell you about titanium alloys. The hot alloy can be fantastic for intense applications once you reduce residual stresses that are developed during fabrication and increase their strength. This article is specifically about how duplex heat treatment of Ti alloys helps in relieving stress, optimizing ductility and machinability properties, and increasing strength.
An excerpt:
“Most commonly known for their excellent strength, corrosion resistance and low density, titanium alloys are a key material for important applications in the aerospace and medical industries. Duplex heat treatments of Ti alloys helps in stress relieving, optimizing ductility and machinability properties and increases strength further.”
