Annealing twins in a multifunctional beta Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr-O alloy

摘要

The grain boundary character distribution and annealing twins in a multifunctional β-type Ti-23Nb-0·7Ta-2Zr-O alloy having a stable bcc phase structure are investigated by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). The results show that the coincident site lattice (CSL) boundaries, including Σ3 and Σ11 twin boundaries mainly form at the early stage of recrystallization. {112}〈111〉 and {332} 〈113〉 annealing twins are observed to occur in the completely recrystallized Ti-23Nb-0·7Ta-2Zr-O alloy.
