Popis: The aim of this paper was to study effect of annealing temperature on microstructure, texture and tensile properties of a high temperature titanium alloy sheet. The as-received sheet exhibited an equiaxed structure consisting of primary α phase and few retained β phase. The α phase texture showed a typical B-type texture with inclined to normal direction. The intracrystalline substructure played an important role on tensile strength when the annealing temperature below 900 °C. Duplex microstructure with B + R-type texture was obtained when annealing temperature increased to α+β region (900–990 °C). The intensity of B-type texture and R-type texture was found to be determined by the volume fraction of primary α phase and transformed β phase. Significant increase of tensile strength after α+β region annealing was thought to result from the secondary α-β interfaces strengthening, and the formation of R-type texture lead to the anisotropy of tensile strength. Widmanstatten structure was obtained when the sheet suffered a β phase region annealing (1000–1020 °C) and the tensile strength decreased instantly.
