Abstract
Microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium alloys can be controlled by changing alloy compositions. Gum Metal is an alloy developed to achieve low Young's modulus. When this alloy is subjected to strong cold-work, high strength can be compatible with low Young's modulus. In addition, the alloy has multifunctional characteristics, which can be attributed to unique deformation mechanism. Plastic deformation of Gum Metal proceeds with inhomogeneous fault formation. It has been also known that it has sufficient ductility. However, its deformation mechanism is still unknown. In this study, inhomogeneous deformation behavior is studied using hardness test, XRD and optical microscopy.
