However, the creep behavior of the TC25 titanium alloy at high temperatures has not been reported. Here, the creep behavior of TC25 before and after heat treatment at 550 \u00b0C under different stresses was investigated. It was found that heat treatment significantly enhanced the creep resistance of the TC25 alloy. An increase in creep stress increased the steady-state creep rate and reduced creep life. The smooth \u03b1p\/\u03b2trans grain boundaries and refined \u03b1s improved creep resistance, and the creep mechanism changed from grain boundary sliding to dislocation climbing after heat treatment. This research provides theoretical data support for the application of the TC25 alloy at high temperatures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17235821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T08:17:42Z","timestamp":1732695462000},"page":"5821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Influence of Heat Treatment on the Tensile Creep Life of the TC25 Titanium Alloy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ang","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianglong","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiguo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Aviation University Qingdao Campus, Qingdao 266041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangming","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Aviation University Qingdao Campus, Qingdao 266041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiacheng","family":"Geng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyuan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanliang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang 110016, China"},{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Shenyang 110016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174496","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jallcom.2024.174496","article-title":"Impact of long-term thermal exposure on the microstructure and creep resistance of (TiB+TiC+Y2O3)\/\u03b1-Ti composite","volume":"990","author":"Xu","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
