The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rolled titanium alloy material with a good structure, and particularly to a method for manufacturing a rolled material of an α+β titanium alloy having a uniform and fine crystal structure and excellent mechanical properties. Titanium alloy has specific strength (ratio of strength to weight)
Because of its large strength, it is suitable for applications that require high reliability, such as aircraft and space development equipment that require light weight and high strength, and applications that require high temperature, high load,
It is used in applications that require durability under harsh conditions such as high corrosion. However, for these applications, simply having high strength and high corrosion resistance is not enough, especially when supplied in the form of wire or rod, the manufacturing step into the final product as a bolt or structural component. Since it always goes through a forming process, appropriate ductility is essential. In order to improve this ductility, it is essential to have a uniform and fine structure. By the way, titanium alloy material is one of the difficult-to-process materials.
There are few reports regarding its manufacturing method. For example, a rolled material is disclosed in JP-A-51-77385, but a rolled material has not been put to practical use, nor has there been any report thereof. By the way, the production of the above-mentioned forged material is carried out after β forging.
Continuously perform processing of 10% or more in the α+β region, then heat to the β region, and then process α at a cooling rate of 20℃/min or more.
This is done by cooling to the +β region or α region, thereby making the structure finer. The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research to provide a method for producing a rolled Ti alloy material that exhibits a uniform and fine structure and has excellent mechanical properties. They found that this method is extremely effective for miniaturization, and have completed the present invention. Here, the present invention involves blooming an α+β type titanium alloy ingot, hot rolling the obtained rolled material with a degree of working of 50% or more in the α+β region, and then applying the method to the obtained hot rolled material. This is a method for producing a rolled titanium alloy material with a good structure, which is characterized by performing equiaxed crystal formation treatment. Here, equiaxed crystal formation treatment refers to hot rolling followed immediately by slow cooling, preferably furnace cooling to 700℃.
Cool at a rate of about 150℃/hr or less, then cool to room temperature in the air, or after hot rolling to 800 to 950℃
The temperature is maintained at a temperature of
First let it cool down to 700℃ or less, then reheat it in a furnace maintained at 850 to 950℃ and hold it at 800 to 950℃ for a specified period of time, generally 30 minutes or more, preferably 1 hour or more, and then keep it at 700℃ or less. This is a treatment in which the material is allowed to cool to a certain temperature, and this treatment promotes the formation of equiaxed crystals. According to the present invention, α+
More than 50% of processing is performed in the β region, but by giving more than 50% of processing in the α + β region, the accumulation of internal strain increases, and during slow cooling or reheating in the subsequent equiaxed crystal formation process. It facilitates recrystallization and promotes the formation of equiaxed crystal grains. When performing isothermal maintenance during equiaxed crystal formation treatment, 800~
The temperature is maintained at 950°C for a predetermined period of time, but if this isothermal holding temperature exceeds 950°C, the proportion of β in the structure becomes too large, making it difficult to improve the structure. On the other hand, if this temperature is lower than 800°C, the recrystallization reaction itself will slow down, making it impractical. The equiaxed crystal thus obtained is a crystal whose crystal grain morphology is isotropic, and ideally consists of crystal grains that do not extend in any particular direction in any cross section. The present invention thus relates to a method for manufacturing a rolled titanium alloy material, such as a titanium alloy plate or a titanium bar, and the form thereof is not particularly limited as long as it is manufactured by a rolling method. The titanium alloy is preferably an α+β type titanium alloy, a typical example of which is Ti-6Al-4V, but other examples include Ti-8Mn, Ti-4Al-4Mn, Ti-7Al-

Ti−4Al−3Mo−1V, Ti−2Fe−2Cr−2Mo, Ti
-5Al-2.75Cr-1.25Fe etc. are mentioned. Here, the processing degree in the present invention is defined as follows. Processing degree (%) = Cross-sectional area before processing - Cross-sectional area after processing / Cross-sectional area before processing × 100 The attached drawing is a diagram schematically explaining the equiaxed crystal formation process in the present invention, and the first The figure shows the case of slow cooling after hot rolling and the case of holding at 800 to 950°C and then letting it cool.
The case of heating and holding at 950℃ is shown. The higher the temperature, the higher the degree of working by hot rolling, the shorter the heating holding time can be. Slow cooling may be carried out to 700°C, and after that it may be left to cool in the atmosphere. Even in the case of cooling once and then reheating, it may be allowed to cool to 700°C and then reheated, if necessary. In addition, the rolling finishing temperature
If the temperature drops below 800℃, reheat to 800℃ or lower.
It is necessary to hold the temperature at 950°C for a predetermined time (see Figure 2). The invention will now be further explained in connection with examples. Example 1 ton of ingot was produced by vacuum arc melting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and after blooming and rolling, peeling was performed to remove surface defects, and then as shown in Table 1. , manufactures round bars with a diameter of 55 mm to square bars of 180 mm square,
It was rolled into a round bar with a diameter of 36 mm using a continuous hole rolling mill. The respective rolling conditions and results are summarized in Table 1. Note that various methods for determining tissues have been presented as standards based on past experience and achievements. As shown in Fig. 3, the α+β equiaxed crystal structure is classified as first class (see Fig. 3 a), and the state in which the isotropy of the crystal grains has not progressed, that is, the state in which something close to the processed structure remains. is evaluated as grade 4 (see Figure 3 d), and intermediate stages include those with a high degree of remaining processed structure (see Figure 3 c) and those with insufficient equiaxed crystallization (see Figure 3 b). and 3rd grade and 2nd grade and 2
It was divided into stages, with a total of four classes. Grades 1 and 2 are structures that can withstand practical use, and grades 3 and 4 are structures that require improvement.
