The hot workability of gamma titanium aluminide alloy, Ti-48Al-2V-2Nb, was assessed in the cast condition through a series of compression tests conducted over a range of temperatures (1000 to 1175 °C) and at the strain rate of 10 S-1. The mechanism of dynamics recrystallization has been investigated from SEM Z-contrast images and from the Electron backscattered diffraction EBSD as well. It has been observed that volume fraction of the recrystallized grains increases with increasing the deformation temperature. The major volume fraction of the recrystallized grains was observed in the shear band which was forming at an angle 45 ̊ with respect to the compression direction. The mechanism of breaking of the laths and the region of the dynamic recrystallization were also investigated from the SEM Z-contrast image and EBSD. The dynamic recrystallization occurred in the region of the broken laths and shear bands. The breaking of the laths was because of the kinking of the lamellae. The shear band, kinked lamellae and dynamic recrystallized region where all investigated simultaneously.

The characterizations of hot working behavior of a near-α titanium alloy using the approach of processing maps are described. Processing map in the α+β region exhibit a domain of the globularization process of lamellar structure and α dynamic recrystallization with a power dissipation efficiency of 0.6-0.9. In the β region the map exhibited a domain centered around 1060°C and 0.1 s-1with a power dissipation efficiency of 0.76 where the β phase undergoes dynamic recrystallization. At higher strain rate flow instability occurs in the α+β region due to adiabatic shear bands formation as well as in the β region due to flow inhomogeneity of β phase.

In this paper, ingot breakdown process of a high Nb containing TiAl alloy with a chemical composition of Ti –42.63 Al –8.11 Nb –0.21 W –0.09 Y (at.%) has been investigated under conventional forging conditions. It was found that the present alloy possesses superior hot-workability that can be successfully forged by conventional upsetting route due to the appearance of large amount of β/B2 phase, though shear band was observed in the forged-pancake. Further studies revealed that hot-working performed in (α + β) phase region which can effectively impede the β → α transformation and thus significantly increase the volume fraction of β/B2 phase. In contrast, the amount of β/B2 phase was notably reduced by heat treatment at the same conditions. This stress-induced effect is considered to be responsible to the superior hot-workability of the present alloy and the mechanism has been discussed and reasonably clarified. It was also suggested that the stress-induced effect has practical significance that it allows the implementation of conventional multi-step forging process which can develop fine and uniform microstructures suitable for secondary processing.
