Abstract (en)

The method for the production of superplastically deformable strip or foil out of alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium (TiAl6V4) with a thickness of more than 0.9 mm, comprises hot-rolling the strip with a forming grade of 30-80% at 800-1000[deg] C, thermally pretreating the hot-rolled strip at 700-800[deg] C under high vacuum of more than 13.3 mPa, and cold-rolling the hot-rolled and thermally pre-treated strip with a forming grade per single stitch of 3-7 %. The forming grade per single stitch is 1-15% to the strip or foil with a thickness of more than 0.9 mm. The method for the production of superplastically deformable strip or foil out of alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium (TiAl6V4) with a thickness of more than 0.9 mm, comprises hot-rolling the strip with a forming grade of 30-80% at 800-1000[deg] C, thermally pretreating the hot-rolled strip at 700-800[deg] C under high vacuum of more than 13.3 mPa, and cold-rolling the hot-rolled and thermally pre-treated strip with a forming grade per single stitch of 3-7 %. The forming grade per single stitch is 1-15% to the strip or foil with a thickness of more than 0.9 mm. After the hot-rolling, the TiAl6V4 alloy comprises a composition of aluminum (5.5-6.0 wt.%), vanadium (3.5-4.2 wt.%), nitrogen (less than 0.02 wt.%), carbon (less than 0.05 wt.%), oxygen (less than 0.15 wt.%), hydrogen (less than 0.01 wt.%), iron (less than 0.15 wt.%) and remnant of unavoidable pollutants and titanium. A mechanical pre-treatment of the hot-rolled strip is carried out before, simultaneous or after the thermal pre-treatment and comprises degreasing with a degreasing agent. The hot-rolled strip has a thickness of 1 mm. The cold-rolling comprises cold-rolling the hot-rolled and thermally treated strip with the forming grade of 30%, where the forming grade per single stitch is 1-15% to the strip or foil with a thickness of more than 0.9 mm, intermediate annealing the strip at 650-850[deg] C and cold-rolling the strip with the forming grade of 10-40%, where the forming grade per single stitch is 0.1-10 %. The final thickness of the strip and/or the foil is 0.1-0.3 mm after the cold-rolling process. An independent claim is included for a superplastically deformable strip or foil.
