Influence of thermal treatment of Ti-45Nb alloy in ultrafine-grained states on its structural parameters and heat capacity
The effect of heat treatment of the Ti-45Nb alloy in the UFG state on its structural parameters (lattice parameters, volumetric phase ratio, sizes of coherent scattering regions, residual normal stresses) and their relationship with heat capacity have been studied. It has been established that the different character of the temperature dependence of the heat capacity for the Ti-45Nb alloy in the UFG and CC states is associated with the structural-phase features of the alloy in the UFG state: the two-phase structure of a-grains and b-grains, dispersion-hardened by the ω-phase, and phase transitions in the temperature range 400-600 °С.
