Effect of severe plastic deformation realized by rotary swaging on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of near-a-titanium alloy Ti-2.5Al-2.6Zr
The research aims to analyze the impact that severe plastic deformation arising during Rotary Swaging has on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of a near-a-titanium alloy Ti-2.5Al-2.6Zr (Russian industrial name PT7M). The nature of corrosion decay in fine-grained alloys caused by hot salt corrosion is known to vary from pit corrosion to intercrystalline corrosion at the onset of recrystallization processes. Resistance to hot salt corrosion in a fine-grained titanium alloy Ti-2.5Al-2.6Zr is shown to depend on the structural-phase state of grain boundaries that varies during their migration as a result of covering corrosive doping elements (aluminum, zirconium) distributed in the crystal lattice of a titanium alloy.
