Abstract

Abstract A high strength titanium material having an improved ductility, contains 0.1 to 0.8% by weight of iron, a required oxygen and nitrogen satisfying the following expression, in which an oxygen equivalence Q ranges from 0.35 to 1.0, Q=[O]+2.77 [N]+0.1 [Fe] wherein [O] is an oxygen content % by weight [N] is a nitorgen content % by weight [Fe] is an iron content % bt weight the rest being titanium and inevitable impurities, the oxygen and nitrogen exists as interstitial type solute elements in the titanium material, and the titanium material exhibits a two phase, an equiaxed phase or a lamellar phase, fine grain microstructure and has a tensile strength of 65 kgf/mm 2 or more, and a method for producing same.
