This multimodal mechanisms include micro-scale {332}<113> deformation twinning (DT), nano-scale {112}<111> DT and a rare {5 8 11}<135> DT mode. Martensitic phase transformation is completely suppressed and the sample stays a single-phase solid solution throughout the deformation. In situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the multi-TWIP and dynamic Hall每Patch effect, with dislocation slip and large grain distortions at twin interfaces. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT The addition of Zr solutes stabilizes 汕 Ti-alloy and completely suppresses phase transformations, allowing {332}<113>, {112}<111> and {5 8 11}<135> multimodal twinning to give a better combination of strength, strain-hardening rate and ductility %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21663831.2019.1595763
