Abstract:
Textures are usually formed due to the preferred orientation of grains during the deformation of titanium alloys, causing significant anisotropy of material properties. With the development of titanium applications in aerospace and marine engineering, new plastic deformation methods have been applied to titanium alloys, which leads to a change in the type and features of the textures. Therefore, the influences of textures on the mechanical and main service properties have attracted much attention. This article mainly reviews the formation mechanism and the evolution of textures during the plastic deformation processes and their impact on the mechanical property, fatigue property, stress corrosion cracking behaviors and so on, hoping to offer guidance for the proper utilization of titanium alloys.
