ResultsTEM micrographs and selected area electron diffraction patterns (SAED), obtained from region with a diameter of 2 μm, of as-processed alloy by routes 1 is shown in Fig. 1a. It is seen that in the as-deformed state the microstructure of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy is highly strained with complicated non-uniform contrast because of the presence high density of different type of lattice defects. The dark field images indicate that the size of separate fragments of structure is within 100–200 nm. The diffraction pattern (inset) with numerous spots arranged along circles indicates the presence of crystallites separated by high angle boundaries. The appearance of significant streaking of diffraction spots indicates the presence of high internal stresses and elastic distortions of crystal lattice. Such microstructure was observed in samples processed by both routes but the streaking of spots and their number on SAED patterns were slightly higher for the alloy after HPT under the higher pressure (route 2), suggesting higher density of lattice defects. Observed diffraction patterns have corresponded only to α-phase and did not reveal any presence of β-phase, indicating its dissolution during SPD-processing.
