In this paper, the TC6 titanium alloy is subjected to double annealing treatment. Under the condition of the change in the first annealing temperature, the microstructure and tensile properties of the double-annealed TC6 titanium alloy are studied. It is found that during the increase of the first annealing temperature, the primary α phase gradually transformed into the β phase, more secondary α phases precipitated in the microstructure and β grains with clear grain boundary contours appeared, presenting continuous α phase inlays on the β grain boundaries. The tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy keep increasing with the increase of the first annealing temperature, but the elongation after fracture shows a continuous decreasing trend with the increase of the first annealing temperature. When the initial annealing temperature is relatively low, the fracture surface is occupied by equiaxed dimples of various sizes, and the fracture form is mainly ductile fracture. However, when the initial annealing temperature is relatively high, it is found that the dimple morphology in the fracture surface is replaced by the rock-like morphology, with only a small number of dimps distributed on the surface of the rock-like morphology, accompanied by the appearance of micropores and tear ridges.
