The effects of strain rate and temperature on flow stress of wire of 2 and 22 ..mu..m grain size were investigated over the range of 4.2 to 700 K. Employing the thermally activated plastic flow concept, it concluded that the rate-controlling mechanism at low temperatures (T < 600 K) is thermally activated overcoming of interstitial solute atom obstacles (mainly oxygen) by dislocations moving on first-order prism planes. The Gibbs free energy of activation for the process is about 1.5 ev (about 0.2 ..mu..b/sup 3/), the maximum force of interaction about 8 X 10/sup -5/ dynes (about 0.2 ..mu..b/sup 2/), and the activation distance at which the force first rises rapidly about lb. The derivel parameters are in reasonable accord with the Fleischer-Friedel model. Qualitative accord is also obtained for the breaking of chemical bonds between interstitial solutes aod the surrounding titanium atoms by dislocations.
