Abstract
Back pressure equal channel angular (BP-ECA) processing was utilised to consolidate a dehydrided (DH) Ti powder of high interstitial content (1.15 wt.% O, 0.09 wt.% N) at 630°C into fully dense bulk ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti. The consolidated samples showed an increase in the contents of oxygen (1.34 wt.%) and nitrogen (0.3 wt.%). The measured densities of 4.53 g/cm3 for the consolidated samples after 1 and 3 passes were very close to the theoretical value of pure Ti. TEM revealed the formation of a bimodal microstructure in the one-pass sample, comprising equiaxed grains of several micrometers in size with ultrafine grains of the order of 100 nm uniformly distributed at the triple grain ju..
