Research on Submicron-Grained Structure Formation in Titanium Alloys upon Reversible Hydrogenation and Plastic Deformation

Аннотация

Abstract—The influence of thermohydrogen treatment combined with hot rolling on the structural formation in α- and near-α-titanium alloys has been studied. The prospects of obtaining submicron-grained sheet semifinished products of VT5 (Ti–5.8Al–0.1Fe, wt %) and VT20 (Ti–5.9Al–1.5V–1.2Mo–1.8Zr–0.1Fe, wt %) alloys are shown. In these materials, a submicron-grained structure allows the plastic deformation to be induced by superplasticity at temperatures reduced by 100–200°С.
