An Investigation on Effect of Texture on the Plastic Deformation of CP-Titanium

Abstract

Due to extensive research and development in the area of materials in the last few decades, many material came up with unique properties. These unique properties let them to be used in various fields. One such metal is titanium, which is extensively used aerospace and defence sectors. It is due to its properties like high strength and toughness, high fracture toughness, high corrosion and erosion resistance and its use at various temperature ranges. It has also found its use in medical applications. In our present work, we have tried to co-relate the texture and the mechanical behavior of the cptitanium. Here annealed sample was rolled upto 90 % reduction and then samples were made along the rolling direction. This sample was tested in UTM Instron 1195 for its plastic deformation. It was deformed upto ultimate tensile strength only and then EBSD and OIM study was done. Then elastic modulus, misorientation, taylor factor was measured.
