The microstructure and mechanical properties of the surface modified layer were analyzed by metallographic microscopy, transmission electron microscope and in-situ tensile testing. The results showed that the annealed near-surface layer with fine recrystallized grains had increased ductility but decreased strength after annealing below the recrystallization temperature, where the tensile strength was still higher than that of the substrate. After annealing at the recrystallization temperature, the recrystallized near-surface layer had smaller grain size,similar tensile strength, and higher proportional limit, comparable to those of the substrate. Moreover, the residual stress relaxation showed evidently different mechanisms at three different temperature regions:low temperature(T≤ 0.2 Tm), medium temperature(T≈(0.2–0.3) Tm), and high temperature(T≥ 0.3 Tm).Furthermore, a prediction model was proposed in terms of modification of Zener-Wert-Avrami model,which showed promise in characterizing the residual stress relaxation in commercial pure Ti during deep rolling at elevated temperature.展开更多
