Abstract
In this work, the structure, texture and properties of the biocompatible titanium pseudo-b-alloy Ti–39 wt.% Nb–7 wt.% Zr after equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in four passes with preliminary heating at 450°C for 30 minutes are studied using the methods of transmission and scanning orientation microscopy, X-ray diffraction phase analysis, microindentation and tensile testing. It was found that after ECAP the alloy is in a single-phase b-state, partial refinement of the grain structure down to 180...200 nm is observed, and a two-component limited shear texture {1–21} and {110} is formed, deviated from the rod axis at an angle of about 20°. A set of physical and mechanical properties (hardness, elastic modulus, strength and plastic characteristics) of the alloy in the state after ECAP is determined. A scheme of phase transformations occurring in a metastable b-solid solution of the alloy is proposed based on an analysis of changes in physical properties (modulus of elasticity, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, linear expansion) upon heating up to the temperature of the polymorphic transformation. The temperature range of alloy aging for the implementation of dispersion strengthening is substantiated.
