METHOD OF PRODUCING PLATES FROM TWO-PHASE TITANIUM ALLOYS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C22F1/18 B21B3/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises hot forming of slab, hot rolling and teat treatment of plate, whereat hot forming if carried out in one step. Immediately after reaching required thickness in slab forming it is quickly cooled to the depth of 20-30 mm at the rate of at least 50°C/min. Subsequent hot lengthwise rolling at performed at first step in α+β-area by partial reduction with deformation degree ε_i varying from 3% to 5% to total deformation ε=25…30% with breaks between passes of 8 to 12 s. At second step, it is performed in β-area from heating temperature determined by definite formula. At the next step rolling is performed in α+β-are with breaks and heating in lengthwise or transverse directions with total degree of deformation e after every break to 60%.

EFFECT: homogeneous fine-grain microstructure, high and stable mechanical properties, high precision, no surface defects.
