Texture evolution during ARB (Accumulative Roll Bonding) processing of Ti-10Zr-5Nb-5Ta alloy

► Nanostructured/ultra-fine grained structure easily obtained by Accumulative Roll Bonding processing. ► Microstructure consisting in a mixture of α-Ti/α″-Ti phases. ► ARB precursor shows the presence of high intensity {022¯3}〈101¯0〉 and {011¯1}〈101¯0〉 texture components and high intensity basal fibre {0 0 0 1}. ► ARB processed states shows the presence of high intensity {011¯0} fibre and low intensity {011¯2}〈101¯0〉 and {022¯3}〈101¯0〉texture components.
