Abstract

An investigation was made of the mechanism of plastic flow in coarse grained specimens of both sponge and iodide titanium at low (−196°C) and high (500° and 800°C) temperatures. Deformation by slip occurs predominantly on a {1010| plane and in a <1120> direction over this entire temperature range, and secondary slip on 1011 planes becomes more prevalent with increasing temperature. The crystallographic habit of the predominant twin type is temperature-dependent, and deformation by twinning increases as the temperature of testing is lowered. Kink bands were not observed at —196°C and rarely at the high temperatures.
