Abstract: TC21 titanium alloy is widely used in aerospace field due to its excellent performance. Forging is the main forming process for titanium alloy, which can accurately control microstructure and mechanical properties. Obtaining high-performance TC21 titanium alloy forgings through traditional processes is challenging. This article investigates the effect of quasi-β forging deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TC21 titanium alloy. The basic properties of material were analyzed based on thermal compression test. The microstructure was analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties were analyzed through tensile test, impact test and fracture toughness test. The microstructure results show that when deformation below 32%, increasing deformation enlarged bundle size but reduced quantity. The orientation distribution of secondary α phase gradually shifts from disordered to ordered. When the deformation exceeds 32%, as deformation further increases, the bundle size decreased but quantity increased and gradually interweaved into a better basketweave structure. When the deformation is 54%, tensile strength and yield strength reached maximum, both around 1000 MPa. And the elongation after fracture of transverse and longitudinal specimens is 14.5 and 13%, the section shrinkage of transverse and longitudinal specimens is 20 and 18%. Indicating that the alloy has the best plasticity at this deformation. When the deformation is 32%, the impact toughness achieves maximum. Its value of transverse and longitudinal specimens is 558 and 546 KJ · m - 2 . As deformation increases, facture toughness generally shows a downward trend. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
