摘要

Titanium and its alloys exhibit advantageous ductility and strength-to-weight ratios, which makes them suitable for use as structural materials in numerous industrial applications. The ω phase has been observed to precipitate during the aging process of titanium alloys, resulting in a loss of ductility. Here we report tensile behavior of bulk polycrystalline ω-titanium with a chemical composition of commercially pure titanium grade 4 and an average grain size of 3.4 μm. We observed that stress-induced ω → α martensitic phase transformation occurs exclusively in the plastic regime. As plastic deformation proceeds, the volume fraction of α-phase increases. The 0.2% offset yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation to failure were determined to be 1130 ± 30 MPa, 1220 ± 30 MPa, and 16 ± 2%, respectively. The present study revealed transformation-induced plasticity in this material. The mechanical properties of this material with the pure titanium composition are comparable to those of a titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4 V. The bulk polycrystalline ω-titanium can potentially be utilized for biomedical applications, such as dental implants.
