摘要

Multistage hot rolling with controlled inter-pass annealing was employed to refine the microstructure of Ti-6Al-2.5V alloy for high-performance structural applications. The thickness was reduced from 2 to 0.2 mm (~ 90%) through eight rolling passes with inter-pass annealing at 400/500 °C for 10 min. The hot deformation led to progressive grain refinement, texture strengthening, and a bimodal α-phase distribution. The specimen B (500 °C inter-pass annealing) resulted in increased tensile strength to 837 ± 28 MPa and hardness 378 ± 14 HV with moderate retention of ductility. The results validate the effectiveness of controlled multistage hot rolling in tailoring the microstructure–property synergy of Ti-6Al-2.5V for thin-sheet structural applications.
