Deformation Microstructure in Beta-Titanium After Deformation at Low Temperatures

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Manchester (UMIST) as follows: The contractor shall investigate cell boundary misorientations, alignments, and stored energies in a beta titanium alloy subjected to cold work. The contractor shall use a beta Ti alloy that is stable and single-phase at room temperature. The contractor shall evaluate the microstructure of the material after deformation at room temperature and at temperatures up to ~400C. Both channel die compression and rolling will be used to deform the material. Both optical as well as scanning electron microscopy will be used to characterize the resulting microstructures. Electron Backscatter Diffraction will be used to measure the grain and cell misorientations.
