Effect of the thermomechanical treatment on the structure of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V

This paper deals with the actual problem connected with preparing of titanium alloy well known as Ti64. We are solving physical-metallurgical process of the preparing Ti64 alloy with good useful properties namely with very good notch toughness and tensile strength in our laboratory on the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Aim of our research task was obtain a very good biocompatible material. The research material was prepared through the plasma metallurgy, vacuum metallurgy, HIP produces in hot camera and heat treatment. Through the using phase analysis and microanalysis were established some very hard particles, of which chemical substances are titanium carbonitrides. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
