Research on submicron-grained structure formation in titanium alloys upon reversible hydrogenation and plastic deformation

The influence of thermohydrogen treatment combined with hot rolling on the structural formation in α- and near-α-titanium alloys has been studied. The prospects of obtaining submicron-grained sheet semifinished products of VT5 (Ti-5.8Al-0.1Fe, wt %) and VT20 (Ti-5.9Al-1.5V-1.2Mo-1.8Zr-0.1Fe, wt %) alloys are shown. In these materials, a submicron-grained structure allows the plastic deformation to be induced by superplasticity at temperatures reduced by 100-200°
