Abstract This paper presents a study on the influence of different thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) parameters on the ratio of micro-hardness to Young's modulus of a novel near β alloy Ti-20.6Nb-13.6Zr-0.5V (TNZV). The TMP scheme comprises of hot working above and below β phase, solutionizing treatment above and below β phase coupled with different cooling rates. Factorial design of experiment is used to systematically collect data for micro-hardness to Young's modulus ratio. Validity of assumptions related to the collected data is checked through several diagnostic tests. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine the significance of the main and interaction effects. Finally, optimization of the TMP process parameters is also done to achieve optimum values of the micro-hardness to Young's modulus ratio.
