Abstract
The invention relates to an α+β type titanium alloy bar consisting essentially of 4 to 5% Al, 2.5 to 3.5% V, 1.5 to 2.5% Fe, 1.5 to 2.5% Mo, by mass, and balance of Ti, and having 10 to 90% of volume fraction of primary α phase, 10 μm or less of average grain size of the primary α phase, and 4 or less of aspect ratio of the grain of the primary α phase on the cross sectional plane parallel in the rolling direction of the bar. The α+β type titanium alloy bar has excellent ductility, fatigue characteristics and formability.
