Abstract
In this work,the underlying mechanism responsible for the near-linear elastic deformation behavior of a dual-phase Ti-Nb alloy consisting of β and α"phase with large recoverable strain was systematically elucidated.Based on in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction(SXRD)analyses,it was found that besides intrinsic elastic defor-mation,a slight reversible β ↔ α"stress-induced marten-sitic(SIM)transformation,which proceeded in a consecutive mode under the retarding effect of micro-de-fects,took place during the near-linear elastic deformation.After unloading,a small amount of residual macroscopic strain remained in the specimen due to the incomplete reverse α"→ β transformation on unloading.The high near-linear elastic deformability of the cold drawing(CD)Ti-Nb alloy has been revealed to be attributed to the cou-pling actions of intrinsic elasticity as well as the consecu-tive and reversible β ↔α"SIM transformation.Our research may contribute to a new avenue for the design and development of novel dual-phase Ti-based alloys with desirable elastic deformability.
