Dual phase (伪+尾)-Ti alloys with a fully fine laminated microstructure usually exhibit a high strength but a limited ductility. In the present study, a hierarchical nanolaminated microstructure consisting of lamellae with nano- and submicrometer-sized widths has been produced in a TiZrAlV alloy by employing severe plastic deformation (SPD) combined with subsequent thermal annealing. The hierarchical nanolamella-structured Ti alloy exhibits excellent combinations of tensile properties, e.g., an ultimate tensile strength 蟽UTS=1600 MPa and an elongation to failure 蔚f=6.5%. The high strength can be attributed to the formation of a lot of nanoscale 伪 lamellae in the alloy, and the enhanced ductility results mainly from both the coarse 伪 lamellae that have a high strain hardening capability and the complex strain paths caused by a hierarchical nanolaminated structure.
