Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) and Surface Mechanical Attrition (SMAT) are the two Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes that have been used to process ultrafine grained (UFG) materials. These two kinds of processes have been used to refine the grain size of coarse-grained commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti). The development of microstructure during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and surface mechanical attrition (SMAT) of commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) is investigated to establish the mechanisms of grain refinement. Based on the various experimental results and analysis, it has been found that the high-strain-rate and many direction loading is conducive to the formation of nanograins and also the grains with less than 100 nm cannot be obtained by the single equal channel angular pressing (ECAP).

Average Size

Addition of small amounts of erbium has a profound effect on recrystallization and grain growth in titanium. Erbium, because of its negligible solubility in titanium, precipitates in the titanium matrix as a finely dispersed second phase. The presence of this phase, depending on its average size, distribution, and volume fraction in titanium, strongly inhibits the migration of grain boundaries during recrystallization and grain growth, and thus produces ultimate grains of sub-micrometer dimensions. A systematic investigation has been conducted to study the isothermal grain growth in electrolytically pure titanium and titanium-erbium alloys (Er concentration ranging from 0-0.3 at.%) over the temperature range of 450 to 850°C by electron microscopy.

Pure titanium (Ti) sheets were subjected to shot peening to achieve grain refinement at the surface. Microstructural studies revealed significant grain refinement at the surface of the Ti sheet after shot peening. The affected thickness of the grain refined region was measured as 150 µm at the cross-section. Due to the fine grain structure, higher hardness was measured for the processed surface. X-ray diffraction studies of the processed sample showed peak broadening for processed Ti due to shot peening. Wettability studies conducted by contact angle measurements clearly showed increased hydrophilicity for the processed Ti as reflected in the lower contact angles. Increased surface energy was calculated for the shot-peened Ti, which can be attributed to the role of the increased fraction of grain boundaries due to microstructure modification. The results demonstrate the potential of the shot peening process to improve the surface wettability and further directly enhance the bioactivity of the Ti implant.
