Cryo-forged nanotwinned titanium increases strength without losing ductility

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have used a technique called cryo-forging to manipulate pure titanium at nanoscale dimensions at ultra-low temperatures to produce extra-strong “nanotwinned” titanium without sacrificing ductility. “This study is the first time someone has produced a pure nanotwinned structure in bulk material,” says Andrew Minor, the study’s project lead and ...
