Room temperature equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was employed on commercial purity titanium in the present work. Mechanical twining was observed in ~90% grains while the grains were not significantly refined (~10 μm) after ECAP. TEM observations showed that the twins observed under OM are usually composed of a serial of parallel twin bands with a width of ~1 μm. Microhardness and tensile tests showed that such a coarse-grained microstructure combined with a high fraction of mechanical twins has a microhardness of ~ 240 Hv, yield strength of ~ 730 MPa, tensile strength of ~ 740 MPa and elongation to failure of ~ 16%. This yield strength is much higher than 620-640 MPa, the yield strength of ultrafine-grained titanium by 8~12 passes of ECAP at 450 oC with a grain size of 200-300 nm, and is close to ~ 790 MPa, the yield strength of commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloys.

The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported.In vivostudies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titanium found earlier byin vitrotesting. However, the observed combination of outstanding mechanical properties achieved by ECAP without a loss of biocompatibility suggests that this is a very promising processing route to bioimplant manufacturing. The study thus supports the expectation that commercial purity titanium modified by ECAP can be seen as an excellent candidate material for bone implants suitable for replacing conventional titanium alloy implants.
