摘要
This paper presents the results of an investiga- tion of the effect of hydrogen treatment on microstructures and tensile and low cycle fatigue properties of a Ti-6Al-4V cast alloy.The phase transformation and the refining mechanism of the cast microstructure during the process of hydrogen treatment were studied.It was found that after hydrogen treatment,the coarse Widmansttten structure of the as-cast Ti alloy was transformed into a very fine and equiaxed α+β microstructure without any GBα phase.The tensile strength and ductility and the low cycle fatigue life of the hydrogen treated specimens were significantly im- proved.
