Abstract
Multi-loop composite processes of deforming with low strain and annealing are proposed to investigate grain refinement and tensile properties of a metastable TiZr40Al15 alloy fabricated by stress-induced martensite transformation (SIMT) and its reverse transformation. The average grain size obviously decreases from 550â¯Âµm to 0.5â¯Âµm with increasing the number of loops from 0 to 3. In addition, the mechanisms of deformation and refinement are discussed systematically. As strain increases, dislocation slip and twinning become the main deformation mechanisms instead of SIMT, and the deformation is more uniform in the smaller original grain, which will lead to more intensive and uniform nucleation points of β-recrystallization, and accordingly, the grain refining effect will be more significant. Moreover, the trigger stress and the tensile strength possess relatively good linear relationship with dâ1/2. The ultrahigh strength of 1426â¯MPa and the good elongation of 13% are obtained after 3 loops composite processes.
