Optimizing strength and corrosion resistance of the metastable β-alloy Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta alloy by equal-channel angular pressing by R. Silva, J. Silva, C.C. Viana, C.R.M. Afonso, P. Hammer, D.C.C. Magalhães, A.H. Plaine, C.A.D. Rovere

“…Room temperature ECAP decreases Young's modulus by reducing the β-phase stability due to deformation, while 300 °C processing enhances hardness and Young's modulus due to finer microstructure and higher ω-phase fraction. Grain refinement accelerates passivation kinetics, enhancing corrosion resistance with a thicker and less defective passive film, especially at 300 °C, without significant changes in the elemental composition of the outer passive film.…”
