Abstract

Abstract Shear punching to large plastic strains up to 40 was conducted on a metastable β Ti alloy at various speeds, creating severe plastic deformation at high shear rates ( γ ˙ ) up to 200 s−1. Grain refinement in the resulting shear bands (SBs), which experienced even faster deformation due to strain localisation, was studied using extensive TEM. Significant grain refinement occurred at γ ˙ γ ˙ deviated from this value and much coarser β grains formed at γ ˙ > 40 s−1. The effects of strain rates on grain refinement and the minimum achievable grain sizes at high strain rates are discussed based on classical dislocation dynamics.
