Analysis of the Structural State Formed in Titanium at the Final Severe Plastic Deformation Stage

Abstract

The structural state of iodide titanium after deformation by drawing at 77 K, which is the final stage of severe plastic deformation (SPD), has been analyzed and estimated in this work. The SPD has been implemented by a sequential combination of deformation techniques (compression-squirting-extrusion-drawing) that provide different stress epures. The temperature dependence of the logarithmic damping decrement of torsional oscillations in the 77-250 K temperature range has been studied to give a physical interpretation of the nonmonotonic change in the strength of the iodide titanium after SPD and to compare the calculated strength with that obtained for low purity titanium.
