Abstract:Specimens cut from the cold-rolled commercially pure (CP) Ti sheet were treated by high density electropulsing (the maximum current density 7.22 kA/mm2, pulse period 110 μs). The deformation behaviors of the CP Ti specimens at different states were determined by the uniaxial tensile test. The microstructure morphologies were observed by the optical microscopy. The results show that the electropulsing induced formation of fine equal-axial grains and lamellar microstructures, which leads to the strength of the electropulsed CP Ti higher than that of the conventional annealed CP Ti. After electropulsing, the tensile strength and yield strength are increased by 100 MPa. And the electropulsed CP Ti has a good plasticity. The experimental results demonstrate that the electropulsing provides an effective approach to enhance the strength of cold-rolled CP Ti sheet and retain the required high ductility.
Key words: Ti sheet; electropulsing treatment; grain refinement; strength
