Abstract

Processing by high-pressure torsion at room temperature was employed to achieve a uniform nanostructure in a metastable Ti67.4Nb24.6Zr5Sn3 bcc ? alloy with grains of ?20–60 nm after five turns. By comparison, there was an ultrafine grain structure after equal-channel angular pressing at 903 K. The majority of refined grains were identified as bcc ?-titanium with the presence of a small fraction of orthorhombic ?? martensite. It is proposed that the pronounced grain refinement is facilitated by a stress-/strain-induced ? ? ?? martensitic transformation. However, the presence of a large fraction of ? phase in the high-pressure torsion processed samples is attributed to a reverse ?? ? ? martensitic transformation stimulated by the applied shear stress and the inhibition effect of the nanoscale grains on martensite formation
