Low temperature superplasticity through grain refinement in Ti-6Al-4V by a novel route of quench-roll-recrystallise

A ‘quench + roll + recrystallise’ method was simulated through compression testing of initially ‘water quenched’ Ti-6Al-4V alloy at a temperature of 973 K and rolling strain-rate 100 s−1 in order to achieve superplasticity at lower temperature through grain refinement, with a view to increase die li...
