(a) Aj7 content of 71 alloy material When the content is less than 38 at%, another Ti solid solution phase, β phase, appears, and when the proportion of Ti solid solution phase consisting of α phase is increased to 95 area% or more. If the ratio of α phase is less than 95 area%, γ
The precipitation of the phase becomes insufficient, making it impossible to secure the desired strength. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 50 atomic %, 5 area % or more of γ phase will appear during solution treatment, and the However, since it becomes difficult to form a fine layered structure during aging treatment, and a significant toughness improvement effect cannot be obtained, the content is set at 38 to 50 at %.

(b) Solution treatment temperature If the temperature is less than 1200°C, a structure in which the α phase accounts for 95% or more by area cannot be formed, and in this case, as mentioned above, the subsequent aging treatment will prevent the precipitation of the γ phase. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 480°C, partial melting may occur in the 71 alloy material or β phase may appear, so it is difficult to obtain high strength. The temperature was set at 1200 to 1480°C.
