We have studied the chemical, physicochemical, and technological properties of titanium alloy VT6 fibers in the initial state and after vacuum annealing for one hour at 500–1300°C. We have carried out fractographic, microstructural, and qualitative x-ray spectral microanalysis of the fibers. We have established that in the initial state, the fibers possess high values of the physicomechanical characteristics; the decrease in the properties of the fibers with a rise in temperature was determined by observing changes in the microscopic and macroscopic structure and the chemical composition. Vacuum annealing of VT6 fibers allows us to improve their compressibility with different combinations of hardness, strength, and conductivity characteristics.Institute of Problems in Materials Science, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev.
