{332}<113> Twinning Deformation in a Cold-Rolled Biocompatible Ti-Nb-Zr-Fe Alloy

摘要

In the present days titanium and titanium alloys are extensively studied and used as biomaterials due to their biological, mechanical and physical properties. During last year's special attention was paid to β-Titanium alloys due to their low elastic modulus. The present study investigates the twinning deformation features occurred during multi-pass cold-rolling processing of a biocompatible Ti-Nb-Zr-Fe alloy. Twinning deformation features were investigated using EBDS analysis by means of Inverse Pole Figures (IPF's), Pole Figures (IP's) and computed Schmid factor (SF's) for the possible {332}<113> twinning variants.
