The tensile strengths of TNTZ after solution treatment (TNTZ(ST)) or after cold rolling (TNTZ(CR)) decrease with an increase in the aging temperature, although the elongation shows the reverse trend. The fatigue limits of TNTZ(CR) subjected to aging at 673 K and 723 K are nearly equal to that of Ti-6Al-4V ELI, which has around 800 MPa. The tensile strength of TNTZ(CR) is improved drastically through high pressure torsion (HPT), which is one of severe deformation processes (SDP), and shows more than 1 GPa, although the fatigue strength is not improved by HPT because of the work-softening during the cyclic deformation.
