The effect of β phase on microstructure and texture evolution during thermomechanical processing of α+β Ti alloy

This research is published in, the No.1 ranked journal in Metallurgy , Acta Materialia (5 year Impact factor: 4.395). For the first time, this clearly point out the critical role of high temperature beta phase on the development of different alpha phase texture and macrozones during thermomechanical processing of a technologically important metallic material (Ti-6Al-4V). These research findings are of particular practical consequences to Titanium and Aerospace industry as it demonstrates that certain hot rolling procedures might be applied to tailor texture. The importance of this publication is recognized by the UK industries, Timet (Matthew.Thomas@Timet.com) and Rolles-Royce (David.Rugg@rolls-royce.com).
