Results of a systematic experimental study of the effect of the heating rate, composition, and structure on the temperature of the (alpha+beta)-beta transformation in titanium alloys VT6, VT14, VT3-1, VT23, and VT22 are presented. It is shown that the transformation temperature of the alloys increases proportionally to the coefficient k-beta, which characterizes the alloy content, and to the size of the alpha-phase grains in the original structure. All other conditions being equal, the transformation is completed sooner in alloys with a spheroidal structure. 8 references.
