dc.description.abstract | High-pressure torsion is a severe-plastic-deformation technique rendering the bulk metallic material into an ultrafine microstructure. Not only the application of high pressure in the 6 GPa range bears potential for phase transformation, moreover huge plastic shear strains of 10 to 100 is achieved by torsion processing. In a first study, pellets of y-based Ti-45Al-7.5Nb have been processed under 6 GPa at room temperature, (i) with pressure loading and unloading only, (ii) with 5 turns of torsion and (ii) 10 turns. The material, which usually is brittle and hard to deform, was successfully processed and showed ductility under these conditions. First investigations by neutron and X-ray diffraction are presented, emphasizing the complementarity of both kinds of quantum beams. While X-rays determine the overall structure, such as close-packing, neutrons are particularly sensitive to the order parameter in the constituting y-TiAl and a2-Ti3Al intermetallic phases. It is found that the atomic order decreases on larger amount of processing. Also structural transformations regarding the atomic packing take place. These preliminary examinations open routes for physical understanding and recovery of the occurring crystallographic transformation and microstructural arrangements. | en_AU |
