Abstract:

High-resolution electron backscatter diffraction EBSD was used to examine the grain structure in long rods of ultrafine-grain UFGcommercial-purity titanium produced for medical implants. The UFG material was obtained by equal channel angular pressing ECAP using a Conform scheme followed by rod drawing. The microstructure was found to be bimodal consisting of relatively coarse elongated grains containing well-developed substructure and ultrafine grains. The mean grain size was 0.3 m, and the fraction of high-angle boundaries was 45 . The material had a strong 101 0-fiber texture. An analysis of the microstructureproperties relationship showed that the increase in material strength developed during severe plastic deformation resulted from grain refinement and substructure evolution in comparable measure.
