It is shown that, for intense formation of the ω_iso phase, the most efficient scheme for entering the aging interval includes rapid water cooling water to room temperature from an annealing temperature of 600°C and subsequent rapid heating to an aging temperature of 300°C. All other routes used for entering in the aging interval, including slow cooling and/or heating, do not lead to the formation of an X-ray identifiable amount of the ω_iso phase, whereas, the β → ω_iso transformation in the temperature range from 250 to 350°C has a pronounced C-shaped kinetics with a maximum at 300°C.

A change in the aggregative stability of aqueous dispersions of particles can be interpreted in such a way that ingress of water molecules having a high potential of interaction with molecules of the medium in the interfacial gap between particle surfaces and outflow of water molecules exhibiting high intensity of interaction with a solid surface from the interfacial gap between particle surfaces is difficult. Excess osmotic pressure between hydrophilic surfaces leads to their hydrophilic repulsion, and excess osmotic pressure of the surrounding water (reduced osmotic pressure between surfaces) leads to hydrophobic attraction of the surfaces. To change the result of flotation, it is sufficient to bring a heat flow to a nanoscale-thick liquid layer, within which action of forces of structural origin is localized, determining the stability of wetting films.

In the present study, with the help of the finite element analysis, one of the effective SPD methods, the process of abrasive-free ultrasonic finishing (AFUF), is studied. Another well-known approach to improving mechanical characteristics, including the fatigue resistance, is the creation of an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structural state in the product. This study is devoted to investigation of the stress–strain state of a UFG workpiece subjected to SPD by the AFUF method using the finite element analysis. Commercially pure Grade 4 titanium in the UFG state obtained by the equal channel angular pressing “conform” method (ECAP-C) is chosen as the workpiece material. In the course of the study, the stress–strain state of the deformation zone after a single impact of an indenter with subsequent unloading is analyzed in the elastoplastic formulation of the problem. The effect of the oscillation amplitude and geometrical characteristics of the indenter on residual radial stresses, including their depth of occurrence, average normal stress, and the accumulated effective strain, has been analyzed. It has been established that, with an increase in the indenter radius, the value of the accumulated effective strain (<i>e</i>) decreases. The behavior of distribution of the <i>e</i> parameter shows a gradient character with its values decreasing from the surface to the center of the workpiece. An analysis of the simulation results shows that the residual radial stresses in the region of the deformation zone are predominantly compressive stresses and, accordingly, allow increasing the fatigue resistance of the final product.
