Abstract:

Titanium is a hard metal with good mechanical properties, corrosion resistant and biocompatibility which makes it have a wide range of applications (biomedical and aerospace). Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is employed to produce Ultrafine Grained (UFG) structures. UFG structures have better mechanical properties due to their compaction. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is adapted to produce a UFG structure in Titanium. In this process, titanium sponge powder is filled in the aluminium shell by intermediate tapping to fill the volume of the shell. The shell is then closed with an Al cap and ECAP is done with continuous back pressure at 300°C. The test specimen has undergone four passes in route BC at different back pressure (50, 100 and 150 MPa) where titanium is consolidated without any crack. Titanium showed decreased grain size and porosity with increasing backpressure. In particular, it is seen that the sample ECAPed by 100 MPa backpressure showed a relative density of about 98% with a hardness of 37 HRC. It is seen that ECAP is more economical and the product obtained by the ECAP process has better properties.
