    Laser melting deposited (LMD) TC17 titanium alloy has a vast application prospect in aerospace industries. The mechanical properties of LMD TC17 as-deposited alloy exhibits excellent strength yet lower ductility. Therefore, in an attempt to improve the mechanical properties, anneal treatment for LMD TC17 alloy is firstly studied. The volume fraction of primary α phase (αP) decreases and α lath coarsens with rising temperature, which is good for ductility but harmful for strength. Anneal treated LMD TC17 alloy cannot obtain optimistical combination of strength and ductility to conform to disk technical standard. The effect of solution-aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of LMD TC17 alloy is further studied. The volume fraction of αP increases and α lath coarsens with solution temperature rising, and αS coarsens obviously when aged at high temperature. The mechanical properties are sensitive to volume fraction of αP and αS, as well as width of α lath. The ultra fine αS precipitation in β matrix results in high strength. Coarsening α lath and increasing volume fraction of αP are helpful for ductility. After 800 ℃/4 h, annealing and water quenching, then 630 ℃/8 h air cool treated, LMD TC17 alloy can obtain optimistical combination of strength and ductility, which conform to the disk technical standard.
