Abstract

In the present study, in situ phase transformation experiments have been carried out using neutron diffraction to monitor the texture evolution during the α → β → α phase transformation in Ti–6Al–4V with and without 0.4% yttrium additions. The aim of adding yttrium was to control β grain growth abov...
