A self-designed Ti-35421 (Ti-3Al-5Mo-4Cr-2Zr-1Fe wt%) titanium alloy is a new type of low-cost high strength titanium alloy. In order to understand the hot deformation behavior of Ti-35421 alloy, isothermal compression tests were carried out under a deformation temperature range of 750–930 °C with a strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1 in this study. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to characterize the microstructure prior to and post hot deformation. The results show that the stress–strain curves have obvious yielding behavior at a high strain rate (>0.1 s−1). As the deformation temperature increases and the strain rate decreases, the α phase content gradually decreases in the α + β phase region. Meanwhile, spheroidization and precipitation of α phase are prone to occur in the α + β phase region. From the EBSD analysis, the volume fraction of recrystallized grains was very low, so dynamic recovery (DRV) is the dominant deformation mechanism of Ti-35421 alloy. In addition to DRV, Ti-35421 alloy is more likely to occur in continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) than discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX).

In the present study, microstructure evolution of Ti-Fe alloys with different Fe content between 0.2-1.5mass% during hot deformation in (α+β) two-phase region is studied with focusing on effect of phase volume fraction at different deformation temperatures and strain rates. Hot deformation was conducted on the specimens quenched after β solutionizing at 1173K for 1.2ks at 1108, 1073 and 948K, by uniaxial compression by 50% at various strain rates ranged from 1 to 10-4 s-1. Initial structures are (α+β) lamellar structures of fine interlamellar spacing and colony sizes. Increase in Fe content results in increasing the fraction of the β phase at the given deformation temperature. Either colony size or interlamellar spacing is coarser at higher temperatures. At the higher deformation temperature where β phase fraction is larger, dynamic recovery of β phase is a major deformation mechanism while at a lower temperature, i.e., a higher α fraction, dynamic recrystallization of α phase occurs predominantly. It is concluded that critical strain needed for occurrence of dynamic recrystallization is decreased by increasing fraction of the α phase at the same deformation temperature, i.e., by decreasing Fe content. Furthermore, by increasing strain rate grain size of the recrystallized α is decreased.

Isothermal compressions of as-cast near-α Ti90 titanium alloy were carried out on a Gleeble-3800 simulator in the temperature range of 860–1040 °C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. The deformation behavior of the alloy was characterized based on the analyses of flow curves, the constructions of Arrhenius constitutive equations and the processing map. The microstructure evolution of the alloy was analyzed using the optical microscopic (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The results show that the kinking and dynamic globularization of α lamellae is the dominant mechanism of flow softening in the α + β two-phase region, while the dynamic recovery (DRV) of β phase is the main softening mechanism in the β single-phase region. The dynamic globularization of α lamellae is mainly caused by the wedging of β phase into α laths and the shearing of α laths due to imposed shear strain. The activation of prismatic and pyramidal slip is found to be easier than that of basic slip during the deformation in the α + β two-phase region. In addition, the Schmid factor of equiaxial α is different from that of lamellar α, which also varies with the angle between its geometric orientation and compression direction (CD). Based on the processing map, the low η region within the temperature range of 860–918 °C with a strain rate range of 0.318–10 s−1 should be avoided to prevent the occurrence of deformation instability.

A new type of near α high temperature titanium alloy of Ti-Al-Sn-Zr-Mo-Si-Er was studied. The samples with different primary α phase content were prepared by solid solution at 950 °C/1 h—1010 °C/1 h. The multi-step hot compression experiments were carried out by Gleeble-3500 in a sequence of upper region of α + β phase, then followed by lower region of α + β phase. The effects of primary α phase content and deformation temperature on the microstructure of the alloy were studied by means of true stress-strain curve and optical microscope. The results show that the content of primary α phase gradually decreases from 45.4% at 950°C to 0% at 1010°C. As the deformation temperature decreases from 940°C to 900°C, the content of α phase increases gradually from 65% to 94%, which is changed from dynamic recrystallization to deformed structure elongated along RD direction. It is found that the arrangement of α phase along RD direction is the longest at 920°C. With the increase of the deformation temperature in the multi-step high temperature region from 970°C to 990°C, the width of deformed α phase decreases from 3.64 μm at 970°C to 2.71 μm at 990°C. The optimized microstructure is composed of 20% primary α phase arranged along RD direction. This process has a certain potential in the process of hot deformation of the alloy. Key words: high temperature titanium alloy, primary α phase, multi-step hot deformation

Hot Deformation Behavior

The hot deformation behavior of an advanced nickel-based Haynes282 superalloy was systematically investigated employing isothermal compression tests in the sub-solvus and super-solvus temperature with various strain rates. The influence of deformation temperature and strain rate on the microstructure was studied by transmission electron microscope. The results reveal that the interaction between work hardening and dynamic softening did not reach equilibrium under lower deformation temperature and higher strain rate. The active energy of alloy is around 537.12 kJ/mol and its hot deformation constitutive relationship equation was expressed. According to the processing map and microstructure observations, two unsafe flow instability domains should be avoided. The optimum hot processing condition for homogeneous and fine dynamic recrystallization grains are obtained. TEM micrograph observations indicated that deformation temperature and strain rate affected recrystallization by affecting the evolution of dislocation substructures within the alloy. The nucleation and growth of DRX grains can be promoted by the relatively high deformation temperature and low strain rate. The main mechanism of dynamic recrystallization nucleation preferred to discontinuous dynamic recrystallization and the typical feature of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization showed grain boundary migration nucleation. The findings improve the understanding of hot deformation behavior and dislocation substructures evolution of the superalloy, which benefits the accurate control of microstructures of nickel-based superalloys, and tailors the properties of final components used in the land-based gas turbine.

The hot deformation behavior of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy have been investigated by means of isothermal compression tests on a Gleeble-1500D thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature ranges of 873-1073 K and strain rate ranges of 0.01-5s-1. The results show that the dynamic recryatallization occurs in Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy during hot deformation. The peak stress during hot deformation can be described by the hyperbolic sine function. The influence of deformation temperature and strain rate on the peak stress can be represented using the Zener-Hollomon parameter. Moreover, the activation energy for hot deformation of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy is determined to be 485.6 kJ / mol within the investigated ranges of deformation temperature and strain rate. The constitutive equation of the Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy is also established. Keywords: Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy; Hot deformation; Dynamic recrystallization; Zener-Hollomon parameter.

In this paper, the isothermal compressive behavior of Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si titanium alloy was investigated on a Gleeble-3500 simulator in the temperature range from 1073 to 1373 K at an interval of 50 K (while the phase transus temperature is approximately 1273 K) and the strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1. Microstructure evolution and deformation behavior were investigated. The typical flow softening behavior during deformation is observed, which can be explained by the deformation heating effect and microstructure changes. The deformation heating effect is influenced by strain rate and deformation temperature, and it increases with the increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature. In the α + β phase field, the fractions of the primary α phase decrease with the increase of deformation temperature and strain rate. In this case, dynamic recovery may be the main mechanism for microstructure evolution based on the electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The fully phase transformation occurs above the β transus temperature, which is governed by Burgers orientation relations. The Zener–Hollomon parameter with an exponent-type equation was used to intuitively describe the effects of the deformation temperatures and strain rates on the flow stress behaviors. Furthermore, the influence of strain was incorporated in the constitutive analysis. A fourth-order polynomial was ideally matched to represent the influence of strain. In consequence, the constitutive equation of Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si titanium alloy including the phase transus and compensation of the strain was developed based on the experimental results throughout the deformation process. The results indicated that the correlation coefficient (R), root mean square error (RMSE), and the average absolute relative error (AARE) were calculated to be 0.987, 3.585 MPa, and 9.62% in the single-phase region and 0.979, 18.78 MPa, and 9.16% in the duplex-phase region, respectively. Hence, the constitutive model proposed in this research can provide accurate and precise theoretical prediction for the flow stress behavior of Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si titanium alloy.

The deformation behavior and microstructure of 25CrMo4 axle steel was systematically investigated by thermal compression deformation. The hot-compression test of a 25CrMo4 axle steel sample was carried out on a Gleeble-3800 thermal mechanical simulation tester. The flow behavior of the alloy was studied at the deformation temperature (900–1200 °C), strain rates (0.01; 0.1; 1.0) s–1 and the maximum deformation of 60 %. The flow curves under different deformation conditions were obtained, and the effects of the deformation temperature and strain rate on the appearance of the flow curves are discussed. The true stress-strain curve obtained by experiment is modified by friction. Based on the corrected experimental data, the activation energy determined by the regression analysis was Q = 311 kJ/mol, and the constitutive model was constructed. The high-temperature flow behavior of the 25CrMo4 axle steel was described by the Zener-Hollomon parameter. The optimum hot-deformation process parameters were determined based on the hot processing maps, followed by the analysis of the microstructure characteristics of the alloys under optimum hot working. The results show that the suitable hot-deformation process parameters of the alloy are as follows: deformation temperature is 1050–1200 °C, and strain rate is 0.01 s–1 to 0.14 s–1.

TC31 is a new type of α+β dual phase high temperature titanium alloy, which has a high specific strength and creep resistance at temperatures from 650 °C to 700 °C. It has become one of the competitive candidates for the skin and air inlet components of hypersonic aircraft. However, it is very difficult to obtain the best forming windows for TC31 and to form the corresponding complex thin-walled components. In this paper, high temperature tensile tests were carried out at temperatures ranging from 850 °C to 1000 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 s−1 to 0.1 s−1, and the microstructures before and after deformation were characterized by an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, and electron back-scatter diffraction. The dynamic softening and hardening behaviors and the corresponding micro-mechanisms of a TC31 titanium alloy sheet within hot deformation were systematically studied. The effects of deformation temperature, strain rate, and strain on microstructure evolution were revealed. The results show that the dynamic softening and hardening of the material depended on the deformation temperature and strain rate, and changed dynamically with the strain. Obvious softening occurred during hot tensile deformation at a temperature of 850 °C and a strain rate of 0.001 s−1~0.1 s−1, which was mainly caused by void damage, deformation heat, and dynamic recrystallization. Quasi-steady flowing was observed when it was deformed at a temperature of 950 °C~1000 °C and a strain rate of 0.001 s−1~0.01 s−1 due to the relative balance between the dynamic softening and hardening. Dynamic hardening occurred slightly with a strain rate of 0.001 s−1. Mechanisms of dynamic recrystallization transformed from continuous dynamic recrystallization to discontinuous dynamic recrystallization with the increase in strain when it was deformed at a temperature of 950 °C and a strain rate of 0.01 s−1. The grain size also decreased gradually due to the dynamic recrystallization, which provided an optimal forming condition for manufacturing thin-walled components with the desired microstructure and an excellent performance.

The effect of strain rate and deformation temperature on flow stress of TC18 titanium alloy was studied through heat simulating tests in 760~960 with temperature interval and the strain rate interval in 0.01~10s-1. Relationship model of flow stress versus strain was established and hot deformation mechanics of TC18 titanium alloy was analyzed. The results show that the flow stress reduces obviously as the deformation temperature increases or the strain rate decreases. Dynamic recovery occurs at high strain rate above phase transformation point, while dynamic recrystallization occurs at low strain rate as well as at the temperature below phase transformation point.
