<p>A method for preparing a titanium alloy for a bearing component comprising: (i) providing an alloy composition comprising: from 5 to 7 wt% Al, from 3.5 to 6 wt% V, from 0.5 to 6 wt% Mo, from 0.2 to 4.5 wt% Fe, from 0.05 to 2.5 wt% Cr, optionally one or more of the following elements up to 2.5 wt% Zr, up to 2.5 wt% Sn, up to 0.5 wt% C, and the balance comprising Ti together with unavoidable impurities; (ii) heating the alloy to a temperature T below the (a+ß/ß)-transition temperature Tß and then quenching; and (iii) ageing the alloy at a temperature of from 400 to 600°C.</p> |
