Thin parts made of beta or quasi-beta titanium alloys; manufacture by forging

摘要

The present invention provides non-axially symmetrical manufactured parts of thickness less than 10 mm, made of beta or quasi-beta titanium alloy, having a core microstructure constituted by whole grains presenting a slenderness ratio greater than 4 and an equivalent diameter lying in the range 10 mum to 300 mum. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing said parts by forging.
