Abstract:The effects of heat treatment on the microstructure and phase constitution of Ti-3Zr-2Sn-3Mo-15Nb (TLM) alloy were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. The wear resistance of TLM alloy was tested by sliding wear in comparison with as-annealed Ti-6Al-4V and as-aged Ti-13Nb-13Zr. The results show that the specimen cooled from α+β dual phase region is mainly composed of β, α and α″ phases, while the specimen cooled from β single phase region is mainly composed of β and α phases, in which β phase is predominate. The coefficient of friction of TLM alloy treated at 680 ℃, 1 h, AC+510 ℃, 6 h, AC is smaller than that of others, thereby TLM alloy has a better wear resistance which is also proved by the surface topography after wear test.
