    Influence of Multi Axial Forging (MAF) on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu-Ti Alloy
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Gopi, K.R.
    Multi axial forging (MAF) is one among the severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes, where large strains are imposed into the component. In the present work, as-received Cu-1.5%Ti alloy was subjected to MAF for 2 and 4 cycles at room temperature. Microstructure showed grain refinement after 2 and 4 cycles. Average grain size obtained for MAF processed samples after 2 and 4 cycles are 120 μm and 40 μm, respectively compared to initial grain size of 800 μm. The Mechanical properties were analyzed for as-received and MAF processed samples. Tensile test showed increased ultimate tensile strength (493 MPa) for MAF 4-cycle sample compared to as-received (191 MPa) condition with accumulated strain of 2.18 for 4 cycles. Increase in hardness was observed for MAF processed sample of 143 Hv for 4-cycle compared to as-received sample of 67 Hv. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

    Influence of cold rolling process on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-1.5%Ti alloy
    (American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Anne, G.; Gopi, K.R.
    The effects of cold rolling on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Cu-1.5%Ti alloy were investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength of the Cu-1.5%Ti alloy increased with an increase of rolling deformation at room temperature. Significant grain refinement took place during rolling process revealed in optical microstructure and transmission electron microscope analysis. XRD patterns revealed peaks indexed to Cu, Cu3-Ti2 and Cu4-Ti3 after 8-pass rolling process. Microhardness of the rolled Cu-1.5%Ti alloy layers increased incessantly with increase in the number of rolling passes. Tensile strength increased up to 294 MPa which was about 1.54 times higher than that of the cast Cu-1.5%Ti alloy. Fracture surfaces of the rolled Cu-1.5%Ti alloy revealed the dimples in the structure, which is an indication of ductile fracture. © 2018 Author(s).
