Abstract: In this work, TC10 titanium alloy was treated by BASCA heat treatment (β annealing+slow cooling+aging). The effect of BASCA heat treatment on the microstructure and fracture toughness of TC10 titanium alloy was studied by changing the BA temperature (β annealing tempe-rature). The results show that the BA temperature plays a decisive role in the microstructure and fracture toughness of the alloy. With the increase of BA temperature, the microstructure type changes from equiaxed structure to lamellar structure, and the fracture toughness continuously increases, the maximum value can reach 77 MPa·m1/2. In addition, the amount of plastic deformation at the crack tip region, crack propagation path and fracture micro-morphology of different types of microstructures were studied to further reveal the fracture mechanism. Compared with the lamellar structure, the plastic deformation of the crack tip region of the equiaxed structure is larger, and the crack propagation path is less tor-tuous. The fracture morphology of equiaxed structure is smooth, mainly composed of dimples. The fracture morphology of lamellar structure is obviously concave and convex. The number and size of dimples decrease, and tearing ridges, cavities and secondary cracks appear.
