Texture Evolution of α-Ti and β-Ti Alloys During Rolling and Recrystallization

Abstract

Texture-Controlled Titanium Alloys

In article number 2400876, Jin Cui and co-workers explore the intricate relationship between processing techniques and the resulting texture and microstructure in α-Ti and β-Ti alloys, materials of choice in aerospace and biomedical sectors. This review delves into the effects of cold rolling, hot rolling, and annealing on the evolution of these properties. The study highlights the significant role texture plays in defining the mechanical properties, such as strength, fatigue resistance, and fracture toughness in α-Ti alloys, and the lower elastic modulus demanded by β-Ti alloys for biomedical applications.
