Effect of solution treatment temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the laser-deposited Ti-5321 near-βtitanium alloy was investigated.The results show that the as-deposited Ti-5321 alloy specimens consist of lath-like primary α phase and βphase,with tensile strength above 1050 MPa and elongation after fracture about 4.5%,and the fracture mode is ductile-brittle mixed fracture.After solution treatment at 770 ℃ and aging,the primary α-phase content decreases,the tip dissolution effect is obvious,the microstructure is mainly composed of short rod-shaped α-phase and precipitates of fine needle-like secondary α-phase,meanwhile the tensile strength of the specimen is above 1180 MPa,the elongation after fracture is about 0.8%,and the fracture mode is changed to brittle fracture.When the solution treatment temperature is 820 ℃ and 870 ℃ respectively,the primary α-phase content is further reduced,the tip dissolution phenomenon is further enhanced,and the primary equiaxed α phase appears,the secondary α phase content increases,meanwhile the tensile strength of the specimen is above 1180 MPa,and there is almost no plasticity.This is because as the solution treatment temperature increases,the size of the secondary α phase decreases,the resistance to plastic deformation becomes stronger,and the strain difference between the secondary α phase and the β matrix increases under external loading,resulting in microcracking and leading to plasticity deterioration.
