Revisited: gas-saturated defects in titanium alloys

Abstract

The simulation results of the internal defects generated during deformation by extrusion and rolling are presented herein. It was demonstrated that end-type deformation defects can result in the formation of internal gas-saturated defects not cropping out the surface under the specific deformation conditions. Key characteristics of the generated defects similar to those of the production defects that have been previously classified as metallurgical are determined. Key words: defect, deformation, discontinuity.
