Abstract: Fatigue crack growth behavior of the ultrafine-grained pure Ti produced by ECAP was investigated. The ECAPed sample with a total strain of 4.6 showed nearly equiaxed grains with an average size of about 0.3 μm. After ECAP, the ultimate tensile strength was increased by 60%, while the tensile elongation was decreased by 31%. The ECAPed Ti showed much higher resistance in fatigue crack growth by about a factor of 4 over the whole +K due to plasticity-induced crack closure.
