摘要
The Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy is considered a promising material for biomedical applications as it is free of V, which is replaced with Nb for better biocompatibility. This Ti alloy was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature to refine the grain size to similar to 100 nm. The Vickers microhardness was increased from 325 HV at the initial as-annealed state to 385 HV after the HPT processing. The HPT processed samples were deformed under tension at 1073 K (similar to 0.58T(m),T-m is the melting point) with an initial strain rate in the range of 10(-4) to 10(-2) s(-1). The HPT-processed sample through 5 revolutions exhibited an excellent superplastic elongation of 930% at an initial strain rate of 2 x 10(-3) s(-1). To conclude, HPT processing is effective in achieving superplasticity of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
