Abstract: | Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) analysis and transmission electron microscopy evidence suggest the occurrence of nanoscale porosity in commercial-purity titanium processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). SANS data were produced at two different facilities (GKSS, Germany; and Los Alamos, USA) and were analysed using three different methods. The results are consistent and yield a conclusive picture of the distribution of the scattering centres, which are believed to be associated with nanoporosity. Back pressure applied during ECAP tends to reduce the average pore size, which also depends on the processing route used. The results of the study strongly suggest that ECAP leaves a footprint in titanium in the form of a population of polydispersed nanovoids, which may play an important role in subsequent processing of the material. |
