Abstract

Effect of Ti3Si particles on recrystallization texture of Ti-Nb based superelastic alloys has been investigated using X-ray pole figure measurement and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The alloys used were Ti-24mol%Nb-3mol%Al-Xmol%Si (X=0~0.9, termed XSi) and Ti-24mol%Nb-3mol%Si alloy (termed 3Si). The apparent phase at room temperature was β-phase (bcc). Besides, (Ti, Nb)3Si particles with PTi3 type crystal structure were formed in the alloys with Si content higher than 0.7mol%. After the cold rolling of 99% reduction in thickness, a rolling texture of the β-phase was formed to be mainly {001}β<110>β regardless of the presence of the (Ti, Nb)3Si particles. After the solution treatment at 1273K, a recrystallization texture formed to be {112}β<110>β in all the alloys except for 3Si. The average grain size of the recrystallized alloys was 20~40μm. On the other hand, the solution treated 3Si exhibited the {001}β<110>βn texture and the average grain size of 3μm. It is concluded that the {001}β<110>β texture with fine grains of the solution treated 3Si is obtained by the suppression of grain boundary migration due to the existence of the (Ti, Nb)3Si particles.
