Zusammenfassung:We studied the origin of different characteristics and properties of a Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al beta (β) titanium alloy with surface height irregularities that occurred during machining. The height differences were observed in two different regions, labeled as “soft region” and “hard region.” The present study showed a higher Fe and a lower Al content in the hard region, which resulted in higher β-phase stability to resist primary alpha (α p ) phase precipitation caused by a failure of the solution treatment process. In contrast, the soft region contained a higher volume fraction of α p phase and a lower volume fraction of the matrix, which consisted of a combination of β and secondary alpha (α s ) phase. A high number of α s /β interface in the matrix with a predicted hardness of 520 HV generated an improvement of hardness in the hard region. Therefore, the hard and the soft regions had different abilities to resist wear during machining process, resulting in surface height irregularities.
