Microstructural characterization and evolution mechanism of adiabatic shear band in a near beta-Ti alloy

▶ The thermo-mechanical history during the shear localization was calculated for the first time in this new beta-Ti alloy. ▶ The microstructures within the adiabatic shear band were observed by means of TEM. ▶ The β → ω(althermal) phase transformation was observed within adiabatic shear band in the near β-phase Ti alloy for the first time.
