Abstract
There is provided an α-β type titanium alloy having a normal-temperature strength equivalent to, or exceeding that of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy generally used as a high-strength titanium alloy, and excellent in hot workability including hot forgeability and subsequent secondary workability, and capable of being hot-worked into a desired shape at a low cost efficiently. There is disclosed an α-β type titanium alloy having high strength and excellent hot workability wherein 0.08-0.25% C is contained, the tensile strength at room temperature (25° C.) after annealing at 700° C. is 895 MPa or more, the flow stress upon greeble test at 850° C. is 200 MPa or less, and the tensile strength/flow stress ratio is 9 or more. A particularly preferred α-β type titanium alloy comprises 3-7% Al and 0.08-025% C as α-stabilizers, and 2.0-6.0% Cr and 0.3-1.0% Fe as β-stabilizers.
