Abstract

In practice, most components often receive impact loads during service. In order to ensure the service safety of components, impact toughness evaluation is essential. To the best of our knowledge, the previous studies were mainly focused on the quasi-static tensile deformation, and the impact toughness of bimodal grain structured metals have rarely been reported. Three different grain size characteristics TA3 alloy, i.e., fine grained sample (FG Ti), the mixture of coarse and fine grained sample (MG Ti), and coarse grained (CG Ti), were produced, and their tensile and Charpy impact properties were comparatively investigated. Owing to the strengthening of retained β phase and the twining inducing plasticity effect, MG Ti display the highest tensile strength and impact absorbed energy, together with an intermediate tensile elongation. The impact deformed microstructures revealed that the primary deformation modes of FG Ti, MG Ti and CG Ti sample are: dislocation slips, a combination of dislocation slip in fine grained region and {101¯2} deformation twins in coarse grained region, and {112¯1} deformation twins in sequence.
