The phase transformation dependence on temperature and strain rate in Ti was studied.
md5=4efbb09abb0c39052eb0eae376568fc2"> twinning is the primary deformation mode at the first yield.
The fcc-Ti phase is formed inside the twinning region at K ⩾ 380 K or md5=7d5910ea9a6cf352e7206366e0d72b36"> ⩾ 108 s−1.
The twin nucleation rate increases with the deformation temperature and strain rate.
The deformation mechanism has changed at the higher strain rate (md5=7d5910ea9a6cf352e7206366e0d72b36"> ⩾ 109 s−1).
