In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction was used to study the deformation behavior of a Ti-17Nb-1Cr alloy at room temperature. Stress-induced martensite (SIM) transformation increased the total recoverable strain. A maximum of ∼ 3.5% strain recovery was obtained after proper heat treatment. Unlike other alloys with a bcc crystal structure, the β-phase has a strong (210) β texture, supporting the previous suggestion that all meta-stable β-Ti alloys may have a similar texture instead of the well-known (110) β texture after axisymmetric deformation. The ω-phase has a (2243) ω texture. The (041) α fiber texture in α -phase was formed from the (210) β texture based on their crystal orientation relationship.Keywords: Synchrotron X-ray, Beta Ti Alloy, Omega Phase, Stress-induced Martensite, Texture Impact Statement: This manuscript reports the stress-induced phase transformation in a new β-Ti alloy with large recoverable strain and unique textures that are not widely known.
