Non-standard processing routes for the manufacture of industrial scale Ti834 billet have been undertaken to investigate their effect on macrozones in final forged product. Microstructure, texture and dwell fatigue fracture surfaces were characterised from forged disc samples fabricated from these new billets. All processing routes showed a bimodal microstructure consisting of 25pct of primary alpha grains in a transformed beta matrix. Texture analysis has revealed variations in the presence and size of macrozones with relatively weak textures. Quasi-cleavage facets were present in all dwell fatigue samples although the fatigue life was doubled for the sample whose thermomechanical processing has the highest imposed strain.
Key words: Ti834 / texture / macrozones / dwell fatigue / facet
