Abstract
The room temperature tensile behavior of cryomilled and quasi-isostatically forged commercially pure (CP)-Ti was investigated. Enhanced tensile strength (yield strength
=
840
MPa, ultimate tensile strength
=
902
MPa) in combination with high ductility (elongation to failure
=
27.5%) was observed. This mechanical behavior is rationalized on the basis of processing history, microstructure (multimodal grain distribution, high-angle grain boundaries, high dislocation density) and chemistry. Relevant mechanisms are discussed and the results compared to those reported in earlier studies.
