Study on Non-Isothermal Transformation of Ti-6Al-4V in Solution Heating Stage

In order to understand the non-isothermal transformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy in the continuous heating stage of solution treatment, thermal dilatometry tests with heating rates of 0.1~0.8 °C/s were designed. The conversion between the expansion amount and the transformed vo...
