Abstract: A new process to refine the microstructure of α+βtvpe Ti alloys was developed by using hydrogen as a temporary alloying element.It involves hydrogenating the alloys below the hydrogenated β transus temperature about 0-40 K,air cooling to room temperature and then dehydrogenating at 948 K.Ti-6AI-4V and Ti-5AI-2.5Fe alloys treated hy this new process show much refined microstructures,and the yield strength,ultimate strength as well as the elongation increase 8—15,5—13 and 7—14% respectively

Key words: Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Fe, thermochemical processing(TCP), microstructural refinement, tensile properties
