This study investigated the tensile deformation and corrosion performance of Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy. The results showed that tensile deformation induced grain rotation, leading to a decrease in texture strength. Plastic deformation and acidic environments were found to be detrimental to the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy.
This study investigated the tensile deformation of Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy and its effect on corrosion performance. The results showed that the structural morphology of the samples' strain levels of 0%, 5%, and 10% had minimal changes under an optical microscope. Further investigation of grain orientation information was conducted using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), revealing that tensile deformation induced grain rotation, resulting in the diversity of originally preferred orientation grains and a decrease in texture strength. A small amount of {10-12}<-1011> extension twinning formed during the tensile deformation process. The electrochemical properties of Ti-6Al-4V ELI samples with different strain levels were evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution with pH values of 7 and 1.5. The results indicated that both plastic deformation and acidic environments were detrimental to the passivation film on the titanium alloy surface, leading to reduced corrosion resistance.
