The phase transformation and dilatometric curves in Fe microalloyed Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti6Al4V-Fe) during continuous heating at 1 ℃ /min heating rate had been studied by dilatometer and metallographic methods, and β phase transition temperatures of alloy were obtained. In order to validate the accuracy of these β phase transition temperature and microstructure evolution, the relative phase concentration and the evolution of microstructure which were acquired by cooling after tempering were analyzed by metallographic microscope. The results illuminated that the expansion method was able to accurately measure the β transformation temperature of Ti6Al4V-Fe alloy. The lathy-shaped α phase decreased significantly disappeared in the range of 838℃ to 988℃, and the α→β phase transformation occurred.
