It is shown that a set of production and mechanical properties of metastable β-titanium alloys make it possible to produce high-strength parts of a complex shape for aviation equipment. The influence of production regimes for manufacture and hardening heat treatment on structure and mechanical properties of thin-sheet rolled semi-finished products from metastable β-titanium alloy VT47 is studied. It is established that the degree of deformation during cold rolling of sheets due to occurrence of recrystallization processes upon heating to temperatures in the β-region does not significantly affect alloy mechanical properties in a heat treated condition. Varying the aging temperature makes it possible to control the combination of strength and ductility properties of VT47 alloy over a wide range.
