Abstract
Ti-3Al-2.5V ingot was produced, processed into a titanium alloy wire of 9mm diameter, and the characteristics were studied in comparison with imported material. The ingot satisfied ASTM Grade 9 standard showing oxygen content of 0.11wt% and iron content of 0.085wt%. The hardness of the 9mm diameter titanium alloy was similar to that of the imported material showing values between 225 and 250Hv, and the tensile strength of the imported material was 804MPa while that of the domestic development was 734MPa. The elongation of the imported material was 12% while that of the domestic development was 22%. A new process of manufacturing 9.0mm diameter titanium alloy wire through forging and multi-step hot rolling process out of 400mm diameter ingot was developed.
Ti-3Al-2.5V 잉고트를 제작하고 직경 9mm 합금타이타늄 wire로 가공하여 수입소재와 비교하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 잉고트는 산소함량이 0.11wt%이고 철 함량이 0.085wt%로서 ASTM Gr.9 규격을 만족하였다. 9mm 합금 타이타늄 wire 경도는 225-250Hv로 비슷한 결과를 얻었고, 인장강도는 수입소재가 804MPa이고, 국내 개발품은 734MPa이었다. 연신율은 수입소재가 12%이고 국내 개발품은 22%였다. 직경 400mm 잉고트에서 단조 및 다단 열간 압연공정을 통해 직경 9.0mm 타이타늄합금선재를 제작하는 새로운 제작공정을 개발하였다.
