Alloys with ultrafine grains (UFG) offer high strength potentially combined with ductility. Until now, producing ultrafine grains in ingot alloys has required either severe plastic deformation techniques or flash annealing, neither of which are scalable to bulk alloy production. In this work, we formed submicronic grains in the metastable β titanium alloy Ti-20Nb-6Zr (at%), using conventional cold rolling and annealing at 823K in a conventional furnace. The cold rolling (298K) transformed the β structure mostly to α” martensite, but if the rolling temperature was raised to 453K, martensite formation was supressed, and no grain refinement occurred during the subsequent similar annealing treatment. Therefore, we attribute the formation of ultrafine grains to a mechanism involving stress-induced martensite and its reverse transformation.
Key words: titanium alloy / ultrafine grains / recrystallization / martensitic transformation
