Processes of dynamic aging of VT16 titanium alloy

The use of dynamic aging in heat treatment improves the mechanical properties of alloys, first of all. the strength characteristics under conditions of static (both short- and long-term) and cyclic loading and the resistance to brittle and ductile fracture. Therefore, the processes of dynamic aging that can be treated as a variant of thermomechanical treatment have been studied in detail in several works and have been used for strengthening parts made of steels of pearlitic, martensitic, and austenitic classes, beryllium bronze, Duralumin-type alloys, etc. At the same time, data on the effect of dynamic aging on the properties of titanium alloys are very scarce. The present article is devoted to this problem.
