The microstructural evolution and tensile performance of a meta-stable β-type biomedical Ti-10Mo-6Zr-4Sn-3Nb (Ti-B12) alloy subjected to one-stage aging (OSA) and two-stage aging (TSA) are investigated in this work. The OSA treatment is performed at 510°C for 8 h. The TSA treatments are composed of low-temperature aging and high-temperature aging.

The dislocation lines, dislocation cells, subgrain boundaries, and other crystal defects introduced during cold rolling had a great impact on the morphological characteristics and volume fraction of precipitated phases during aging.
