This study aimed to investigate the effect of annealing temperature and cooling environment after solution annealing operation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti-6242) alloy. The effect of solution annealing operation temperature in the α-β two-phase region (870 °C) and the β single-phase region (970 °C) with two cooling medium was investigated. In order to determine the optimal aging temperature, samples have aged at different temperatures and times, and finally the temperature and time of 550 °C and 3 hours were determined, respectively. Microstructural results showed that solution annealing in the β single-phase region has increased strength and decreased ductility due to the formation of structures such as martensite. Besides, solution annealing in the α-β two-phase region has the highest ductility. DTA analysis was used to determine the transformation temperature. Quantometer, metallography, SEM, EDS, tensile testing, and XRD analysis were also used to investigate the chemical composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the alloy. Generally, the results showed that the annealing operation should be performed in the β single-phase region and quenched in water, if the purpose of heat treatment is to increase the strength. Furthermore, if the purpose of the heat treatment is to increase the strength and ductility, the annealing operation should be perform in the α-β biphasic region and use air as the cooling medium. In this study, the highest yield strength and tensile strength values were related to the profile of solution annealing heat treatment in the β single-phase region at 970 ° C, quench in water, and aging. The yield strength and tensile strength in this heat treatment cycle were 1041 MPa and 1148 MPa, respectively, which increased about 37% and 5.36% compared to the non-heat treatment mode. Among heat treatment cycles, the highest percentage of elongation was 10.97%, which is related to the heat treatment in the biphasic region and cooling in air, which has decreased about 5.36% compared to the non-heat treatment mode.
