Abstract:

High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) is one of the most effective severe plastic deformation techniques in grain refinement. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of HPT on the microstructure and hardness of a Ti-rich High-Entropy Alloy (HEA). The evolution of the grain size due to 1 turn of HPT was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Besides the refinement of the microstructure, a phase transition also occurred during HPT, as revealed by X-ray diffraction. The initial bcc structure transformed into a martensitic phase throughout the material. The features of this phase transformation were studied on a sample compressed to low strain values. The hardness as a function of the distance from the center in the HPT-processed disk was measured and correlated to the microstructure.
