| Abstract Scope |
This study investigated the influence of cold work-induced residual stress in titanium substrates on the formation of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanostructures during controlled thermal oxidation. Commercial titanium alloys were cold worked using a rolling mill to introduce varying levels of residual stress. The cold-worked samples were then oxidized in a controlled, low-oxygen environment to promote nanostructure growth. Resulting morphologies were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A direct correlation was observed between the degree of cold work (%CW) and the density and extent of nanostructure formation, with higher %CW leading to increased nanostructure growth. |
