Influence of Annealing on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Ultrafine-Grained Alloy Ti-6Al-7Nb, Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work is devoted to enhancement of strength and ductility of the Ti-6Al-7Nb ELI alloy, which is less harmful from medical point of view for human body in comparison to Ti-6Al-4V. It has been demonstrated that formation of an ultrafine-grained structure in the alloy with the help of equal-channel angular pressing in combination with heat and deformation treatments allows reaching high strength (UTS = 1400 MPa) and sufficient ductility (elongation 10 %).
