Microstructure evolution during deformation of a near-α titanium alloy with different initial structures in the two-phase region

The effects of initial microstructure on the microstructure evolution of a Ti–1.5Fe (mass%) alloy during deformation in the (α + β) two-phase region are studied at different deformation temperatures. Refining interlamellar spacing and colony size of the (α + β) lamellar structure by quenching after β solutionizing results in promotion of dynamic recrystallization.
