HARDNESS OF DEFORMED TITANIUM PRODUCED BY DIFFERENT DEFORMATION SCHEMES
A technique of analysis of uniaxial deformation level and temperature influence on hardness is developed. The technique is based on hardness measuring in longitudinal cross-section of specimen previously subjected to uniaxial tension. A series of investigations of commercially pure titanium both in recrystallized state and after various deformation treatments were carried out. Both temperature of uniaxial tension and deformation level influence on hardness value of specimens in different structural states were investigated.
