Abstract Ti-6Al, Ti-6Al-2Mo and Ti-6Al-3Nb alloys were prepared to investigate the
toughening effects of β stabilizers Mo and Nb on impact toughness and crack resistance of …

A significantly refined microstructure with high twin and dislocation densities is a common
feature in the Ti surface layers subjected to laser shock peening (LSP). In this study, in order …

Microstructural plastic strain distribution evolution is highly heterogeneous even in single-
phase alloys. One of the important factors that govern this heterogeneity is slip/twinning …

Abstract Fully lamellar Ti-6Al-4V alloys comprise body-centered cubic (BCC) β lamellae in
large-sized, hexagonal close-packed (HCP) α colonies and exhibit outstanding toughness …

Deformation twinning is a prevalent plastic deformation mode in hexagonal close-packed
(HCP) materials, such as magnesium, titanium, and zirconium, and their alloys …

Deformation twinning plays a crucial role in the strong anisotropic strength, poor
deformability, and texture and microstructure evolutions of hexagonal metals. Modifying …

In this study, ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was used to fabricate a gradient
nanostructured commercial pure titanium. The site-specific microstructure, refining …

Abstract Pure Ti and binary Ti–6Al alloy have been employed as the investigated targets of
our research. The strengthening effects of Al element on strength and impact toughness in …

Deformation twins are likely nucleated at and impeded by grain boundaries (GBs),
developing shear transformation bands. Knowing the accommodated deformation in …

Almost no studies have been carried out on the roles of reinforcements in the microstructural
evolution of the titanium matrix composites (TMCs) during high-temperature fatigue. In this …
