The effects of annealing on microstructure and tensile properties of Ti-62421S alloy plate were studied through optical microscopy （OM）, electron probe microanalysis （EPMA）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and tensile tests. The results show that, with annealing tem- perature increasing, the volume fraction of primary α（αp）- phase decreases while that of transformed β（βt）-structure and secondary α （αs）-phase increases. The room-temperature strength and plasticity are insensitive to annealing temperature. However, with annealing temperature increasing, the tensile strength decreases at 550℃, while increases at 600 and 650℃ instead. It is suggested that, at 550℃, the strengthening mechanism is mainly boundary strengthening and the biggest contributor is ap-phase by providing αp/β-boundary area. Above 600 ℃, the strengthening mechanism is grain strengthening, where αs-phase strengthens the β-phase.展开更多
