Magnesium alloy AZ31 prepared by hot extrusion and 4 passes of equal-channel angular pressing (EX-ECAP) has ultra-fine grained microstructure with an average grain size of 900 nm. Grain growth is analysed using a general equation for the grain growth and an Arrhenius equation. The calculated value of the activation energy for grain growth differs with the annealing temperature. The fitted value of activation energy for grain growth in the intermediate temperature range (210-400°C) is in accordance with the results of other authors, but it is shown in this study that such value is abnormally low and physically meaningless. More real values of apparent activation energy in this temperature range were calculated from the model assuming a linear increase of activation energy with increasing annealing temperature. Result of this linear model of evolution of activation energy in the temperature range between 210-400°C is expressed by the interval estimation of apparent activation energy values. It is concluded that the evolution of apparent activation energy can be explained by a change in the mechanism underlying the grain boundary migration. In the low temperature range, the grain boundary diffusion is dominant since the material is ultra-fine grained, whereas at higher temperatures, the lattice self-diffusion is more important.

Specialized beta titanium alloys containing biocompatible elements (Nb, Zr, Ta) are increasingly considered as a material for orthopaedic implants. In this study, small additions of Fe and Si are used to increase the strength of commercial Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta (TNZT) alloy. Six different advanced alloys with iron content up to 2 wt% and silicon content up to 1 wt% were manufactured by arc melting and hot forging. Flow curves were determined from tensile tests carried out at room temperature. The yield stress is increased from 450 MPa to 700 MPa due to small Fe and Si additions. Fe causes solid solution strengthening exhibited by sharp yield point and significant work hardening. (Ti,Zr)₅Si₃ intermetallic particles further increase the strength via precipitation hardening. An unusual serrated yielding behaviour of benchmark TNZT alloy is caused by twinning as shown by acoustic emission measurement and electron backscattered diffraction analysis.

We study the heteroepitaxial growth of thin layers by means of the modified phase-field model with the incorporated anisotropy. The influence of elastic and surface energies on the layer growth is considered. For numerical solution of the model, an explicit numerical scheme based on the finite element method is employed. The obtained computational results with various anisotropy settings demonstrate the anisotropic thin-layer pattern growth.

Titanium occurs in two structures; a high temperature body-centered cubic structure which is known as β phase and an ambient temperature α phase which has the hexagonal closed-packed structure. In the present study a biomedical Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy was investigated. The so-called duplex structure consisting of α lamellae and equiaxed primary α-grains was prepared by a thermal treatment. The α lamellae are created during cooling from a β-field according to the Burgers relation. This relation allows the formation of the α lamellae with different crystallographic orientations - so-called variants. The preferential misorientation between α lamellae was studied by a detailed electron backscattered diffraction analysis. The misorientation of grains in the duplex structure was modelled by a sum of random Mackenzie distribution and Gaussian peaks related to the preferred misorientations according to the Burgers relation. The preferred misorientations based on the Burgers relationship were identified in the biomedical Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with duplex structure. It is confirmed that the variant selection of α lamellae is not random.

The high cycle and very high cycle fatigue properties of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with a duplex microstructure were investigated at room temperature. High cycle fatigue tests were performed in the range from 10⁴ to 10⁷ cycles by rotating bending at the frequency of 30 Hz. The very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out in the range from 10⁷ to 10¹⁰ cycles in tension-compression on an ultrasonic fatigue testing machine at the frequency of 20 kHz. The stress amplitude was found to decrease with increasing number of cycles in the whole range from 10⁴ up to 10⁹ cycles and only at the highest number of cycles (N_{F}=10⁹) the alloy exhibits the fatigue limit of 460 MPa. The detail fractographic analysis was performed to characterize the fatigue failure mechanisms. Both subsurface and surface crack initiation were observed in very high cycle fatigue region. No inclusions, but only local chemical inhomogeneity in microstructure was observed at the locations of subsurface fatigue crack initiation in alpha-grains.

In this study phase transformations in metastable beta Ti-15Mo alloy were investigated by an in situ electrical resistance measurement in a wide range of temperatures from -196°C to 850°C. Different temperature ranges of the evolution of electrical resistance were correlated with underlying phase transformations. In the low temperature range, stage I (from -196°C to 220°C) the decrease of electrical resistance with increasing temperature is caused by the dissolution of ω_{ath} (formed during quenching by athermal shuffle transformation) which is accompanied by the relaxation of lattice strain, while the diffusional assisted growth of ω_{iso} in the range from 220°C to 380°C (stage II) is the main mechanism causing the increase of resistance. Another decrease of the resistance in the range from 380°C to 550°C (stage III) is explained by the dissolution or transformation of ω_{iso}. The increase of resistance above 550°C (stage IV) is related to the growth of α-phase particles. The fully reversible character of ω_{ath} growth and dissolution during heating and cooling in the stage I up to 100°C was confirmed by temperature cycling during repeated in situ resistance runs from RT. Pre-ageing of samples at 300°C promotes the formation of ω_{iso} particles. Subsequently, ω_{ath} particles are not created, which is fully consistent with electrical resistance measurements. The presence of ω_{ath} and the orientation relationship between ω and β were identified by the electron diffraction.
