    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a high strength and high ductility titanium alloy. The method comprises: providing a titanium alloy having a martensite structure; and partially dynamically spheroidizing a microstructure through a thermal and mechanical treatment of the titanium alloy having the martensite structure. According to the present invention, a titanium alloy having a partially dynamically spheroidized microstructure can be manufactured to have excellent yield strength (YS) and uniform elongation (U.EL). A microstructure having lamellar structures is controlled to a microstructure where fine equiaxed structures and lamellar structures are simultaneously present by regulating a rolling direction and a deformation amount. According to the present invention, a titanium alloy can be manufactured to have an improved product (YS×U.EL) of yield strength and uniform elongation as compared with conventional heat treatment.
