Thermomechanical processing of beta titanium alloys—an overview

TLDR
In this paper, the thermomechanical processing of beta titanium alloys in general and high temperature deformation mechanisms, microstructure control during TMP, and final mechanical properties in particular are reviewed.
Abstract
Thermomechanical processing (TMP) is associated with two major requirements: (i) to produce usable shapes through primary working (ingot breakdown) and secondary mill operations (hot rolling or forging) and (ii) to optimize mechanical properties through microstructure control during the different stages of the thermomechanical process. This paper reviews the thermomechanical processing of beta titanium alloys in general and high temperature deformation mechanisms, microstructure control during TMP, and final mechanical properties in particular.
