Abstract: The effect of double annealing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TC21 titanium alloy was studied by means of OM, SEM, tensile test, impact test, and fracture toughness test. The results show that when the first annealing temperature keeps constant, the bulk α phase is easier to form with the increase of the second annealing temperature. When the second annealing temperature keeps constant, the probability of forming bulk α phase decreases with the increase of the first annealing temperature. The reduction of area of the TC21 alloy is the most sensitive to different double annealing processes. The specimens fabricated under double annealing process of 900 ℃×2 h+500 ℃×4 h have bent large stripe α phase and have the maximum impact absorbed. The specimens fabricated under double annealing process of 950 ℃×2 h+590 ℃×4 h can absorb the most energy during crack propagation and have the highest fracture toughness.
