Abstract (en)

[origin: US4854977A] The process according to the invention comprises the following stages: (a) an ingot of the following composition is produced (% by weight): Al 3.8 to 5.4, Sn 1.5 to 2.5, Zr 2.8 to 4.8, Mo 1.5 to 4.5, Cr<2.5 and Cr+V 1.5 to 4.5, Fe<2.0, Si<0.3, 0<0.15, the remainder being Ti and impurities; (b) the ingot undergoes hot working, comprising a rough-shaping and then a final working preceded by preheating in the beta range; (c) the blank of the part obtained is solid solution heat treated by maintaining it at a temperature 10 DEG to 40 DEG C. lower than its real "beta transus"; (d) ageing for 4 to 12 h at between 550 DEG and 650 DEG C. is then carried out on the blank of the part or the part itself. The invention also relates to the process and the parts obtained under preferred conditions, said parts having in particular a good mechanical strength (Rm and Rp0.2 respectively at least equal to 1200 and 1100 MPa), a good tenacity and a good creep resistance at 400 DEG C. (under 600 MPa, elongation of 0.5% in more than 200 h).
