Effect of the Fractionality and Direction of Severe Plastic Deformation on the Structure and Properties of Commercial-Purity Titanium

The effect of the fraction and the direction of deformation on the structure and the hardness of commercial-purity titanium severely deformed in a Bridgman cell at room temperature is studied. The direction of rotation of a movable anvil considerably affects the conditions under which the ω phase precipitates and the structural parameters of dynamically recrystallized grains and deformation-induced fragments formed upon severe plastic deformation.
