Processing, Structure, Texture and Microtexture in Titanium Alloys

Abstract:

We review the effect of processing on structure and texture in titanium alloys, focusing on the understanding of this relationship that has evolved over the last decade. Thermomechanical processing cycles for these alloys involve deformation and heat treatment in single phase β and two phase, α+β, phase fields, and involves a complex interplay between deformation and recrystallization textures of the individual phases, textures arising from the crystallographic relationship between the two phases, and the scale of microstructure evolution. We explore these interactions and trace the strong dependence of thermomechanical pathways on the final structure and texture.
