摘要：The effect of annealing condition on microstructure, mechanical properties and springback behaviour was examined in the connection rod of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for spinal fixation devices. Compared with the deformed microstructure in the sample before annealing, relatively few equiaxed grains were present after annealing at 1003 K after 1.8 ks, and a considerable amount appeared at 7.2 ks. When annealing time was extended to 36 ks, the recrystallised grains further grew. Vickers hardness, tensile strength and bending strength decreased with increasing annealing time, whereas the elastic and bending moduli showed no significant change with annealing time of up to 7.2 ks and then slightly decreased at 36 ks. The springback ratio was closely associated with strength and modulus and applied bending deflection. The springback ratio reached the highest and lowest values in the sample before and after annealing for 7.2 ks, respectively. A good combination of strength, modulus and springback ratio was obtained in the sample after annealing for 7.2 ks.
