技術を確立しようとするものである。[Prior Art] Unlike α-type Ti alloys, β-type Ti alloys can be cold-worked, and high strength can be obtained by heat treatment after processing, so they are used in various equipment in the aircraft field, etc. The demand for it as a component material for ships and automobiles is gradually increasing. However, even though it is a β-type Ti alloy, steel, AI
Cold workability is very poor compared to metal materials such as or Cu.
Cold processing tends to cause skin roughness. Therefore, refinement of the recrystallized structure was considered as a means to reduce rough skin.
Currently, it has been confirmed that the method of recrystallizing β-type Ti alloys after sufficient cold working in the β-single phase state is effective, and is being put into practical use in some cases. In order to achieve refinement using this method, a reduction rate of at least 40% or higher (this value varies depending on the initial grain size of the β-type Ti alloy used;
The larger the initial particle size, the smaller this value becomes. If the initial particle size is around 80μm, 40% or more is required)
In order to obtain recrystallized grains that are sufficiently finer than the initial grain size, cold working of approximately 65 to 80% is usually required. However, in actual operations, sufficient cold working is often not possible, and as the working rate of β-type Ti alloys increases, the elongation decreases extremely and cold workability worsens. It is desired to develop a technology that can achieve grain refinement by increasing the amount of grains. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to make crystal grains sufficiently fine with a smaller amount of cold working than conventional methods. The objective is to establish a manufacturing technology for Ti alloys that can produce beautiful cold-worked products without rough skin.

。[Function] Most β-type Ti alloys are said to undergo plastic deformation predominantly through sliding deformation. In this case, slip deformation occurs preferentially near the grain boundaries, and lattice defects concentrate in these areas and become recrystallization sites, so these sites exist locally, and in this state recrystallization occurs. Even if heat treatment is performed, recrystallized grains cannot be made sufficiently small. Therefore, in order to refine the recrystallized structure, it is necessary to introduce recrystallization sites densely by causing non-uniform deformation not only at the grain boundaries of the initial crystal but also within the grains. In the example, as mentioned above, Ti is in the β single phase state.
The number of recrystallization sites was increased by subjecting the alloy to cold working to create dense lattice defects. However, in order to increase the number of recrystallization sites to a satisfactory degree, there was a problem in that, as mentioned above, the reduction amount during cold working had to be considerably increased. However, as the present inventors conducted various studies to refine the recrystallized grains, they discovered that once the β-type Ti alloy was brought into a martensitic structure state, and then subjected to cold working and then recrystallized, the cold working was less than half of the conventional method. It was confirmed that the recrystallized grains could be significantly refined by increasing the amount. This is because when a β-type Ti alloy has a martensitic structure, there are many crystal interfaces of martensitic crystals not only at the grain boundaries but also within the grains, and non-uniform deformation occurs not only at the grain boundaries but also within the grains during plastic deformation. It is thought that even with the same amount of processing, recrystallization sites are introduced more densely than in the conventional example.

o.1)で済むことが分かる。Furthermore, there are no particular restrictions on the means for making these β-type Ti alloys into a martensitic structure, but as a general method,
A method of adjusting the alloy composition to bring the martensitic transformation point to around room temperature, rapidly cooling it from the β single phase region to room temperature, and then subjecting it to sub-zero treatment or adding light processing to create a martensitic structure state. Examples include: [Example] Ti-18V-4Sn alloy (alloy ■) and Ti-1
5V-3Cr-3Sn-3A1 alloy (alloy ■) was melted and hot-worked to form a hot-rolled sheet with a thickness of 5III1. ■ was manufactured. Each sample board obtained ■. Both ■ are in the β-phase, but after confirming that the former ■ shows deformation-induced martensitic transformation due to interlocking processing, and the latter ■ shows slip deformation, the predetermined conditions for both were determined as shown in Table 1. cold working (
Rolling), followed by annealing at 800°C to recrystallize, and the grain size at the time of complete recrystallization was measured by the intercept method to examine the relationship between the amount of cold work and the recrystallized grain size. still,
The initial particle size of all sample materials was approximately 80 μm. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 As is clear from Table 1, even with a single β phase T
When comparing the i alloy ■ and the Ti alloy ■ that undergoes deformation-induced martensitic transformation, the former has coarse lattice defects due to slip deformation and recrystallization sites are introduced only in the slip areas of the grain boundaries, so the recrystallization grains In order to make the diameter sufficiently small, the amount of processing must be considerably large. However, in the latter case, martensitic transformation occurs in the early stage of cold working, so defects caused by processing occur not only at grain boundaries but also at martensite. Since the recrystallization sites also occur at the crystal interfaces and the number of recrystallization sites increases significantly, the recrystallization grain size becomes significantly smaller even when the amount of processing is kept small. and initial particle size 8
For example, when trying to obtain a recrystallized grain size of approximately 50 μm compared to 0 μm, in the comparative example, the amount of machining must be increased to 50% (Experiment No. 7), whereas in the present invention, the 171 Amount of cold working less than 0 (5%: Experiment N
o. It turns out that 1) is sufficient.
