Abstract
The aim of the present work is to investigate the effects of prestrain and subsequent annealing on tensile properties of commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti). According to tensile test results, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increase with the increase of prestrain. Elongation and uniform strain decrease linearly with prestrain. In the case of prestrain that is higher than 3.5%, the macro-yield of specimens changes from gradual yielding to discontinuous yielding. It is supposed that considerable numbers of dislocations introduced into the material lead to the appearance of yield plateau. The quantitative analysis of the contribution of dislocation hardening to the strain hardening shows that dislocation-associated mechanisms play an important role in strain hardening. Moreover, a modified Fields-Backofen model is proposed to predict the flow stress of prestrained CP-Ti at different strain rates. Both strain rate sensitivity and strain hardening exponent decrease with prestrain. Fracture surfaces of the specimens show that fracture mechanism of all tested specimens is dimple fracture. The more ductile deformation in prestrained CP-Ti after annealing indicates that its ductility is improved by annealing.

Summary
During the manufacture of materials (stamping, cold rolling, equal channel angular pressing, bending) and the installation and service history of the equipment components (such as creep, overload), different degrees of plastic deformation will happen in the materials. The extent of prior plastic strain introduced into the material can significantly change the mechanical properties and affect the plastic deformation behavior. Prior heavy cold work leads to a considerable increase in strength by creating dislocation barriers to inhibit subsequent dislocation movement during plastic deformation at room temperature. Found that by pre-straining and bake hardening, the strength of C–Mn–Si TRIP steel was enhanced. They supposed that the unlocking from weak carbon atmospheres of dislocations newly formed during prestraining led to the appearance of yield point on the stress–strain curve [3]
