Mechanism of oxygen content on impact toughness of α + β powder metallurgy titanium alloy by Shuai Gao, Kejia Pan, Dongxu Chen, Bao Wang, Shixing Wu, Xuan Luo, Minghan Sun, Chao Zhao, Ning Li

“…The activation of numerous dislocations within the two phases and the formation of subgranular boundaries at low oxygen contents promote the release of internal stresses in the grains, and simultaneously, the interfacial resistance to dislocation migration and the concentration of interfacial stresses are also reduced, which improves the coordination of the two-phase plastic deformation of the equiaxed microstructures; the crack extension paths in the impact process become more tortuous and finally achieve impact energies as high as 85–100 J.…”
