The effect of strain path in high-pressure torsion (HPT) process on hardening was investigated in commercial purity titanium (Ti-0.03Fe-0.03O, mass%). After monotonic HPT (mHPT) straining up to N ¼ 10 turns at a rotation speed of 0.2rpm under a pressure of P ¼ 5GPa, theobtained Vickers microhardness, Hv, was around 3.5GPa and the microstructure consisted of equiaxed grains of 100 200nm with highdislocationdensity.ThisHvvaluewashardlyincreasedevenwithfurtherstrainandstraingradient(furtherrotation).Toinvestigatetheeffectofstrain path, cyclic (cHPT) and two-steps HPT (2sHPT) processes were carried out. The cHPT-straining performed by repetitive deformation ofN ¼ 1=2. In comparison with the mHPT process, the Hv was attained rapidly to the saturated value (Hv 3.5GPa). However, the maximum Hvvalue was similar to that obtained by mHPT-straining. In the 2sHPT process, first the disk of 20mm in diameter was deformed by HPT-straining. Secondly, the disk of 10mm was cut to contact with the circumference of the deformed disk, and then it was deformed. A higherhardness (Hv 3.8GPa) was obtained than that by monotonic or cyclic HPT-straining. These results indicate that multi-directional deformations(deformations with different strain paths) contribute to the hardening improvement.
