Cold swaging and recrystalilization annealing of Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr-O alloy - microstructure, texture and microhardness evolution

Abstract

Combination of cold-swaging and recrystallization annealing is used to refine the microstructure. Microstructure after cold-swaging and after annealing is studied using scanning electron microscope.
