摘要
By using split Hopkinson pressure bar, optical microscopy and electronic microscopy, we investigate the influence of initial microstructures on the adiabatic shear behavior of high-strength Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr(Ti-5553) alloy with lamellar microstructure and bimodal microstructure. Lamellar alloy tends to form adiabatic shearing band(ASB) at low compression strain, while bimodal alloy is considerably ASBresistant. Comparing with the initial microstructure of Ti-5553 alloy, we find that the microstructure of the ASB changes dramatically. Adiabatic shear of lamellar Ti-5553 alloy not only results in the formation of recrystallized β nano-grains within the ASB, but also leads to the chemical redistribution of the alloying elements such as Al, V, Cr and Mo. As a result, the alloying elements distribute evenly in the ASB.In contrast, the dramatic adiabatic shear of bimodal alloy might give rise to the complete lamination of the globular primary a grain and the equiaxial prior β grain, which is accompanied by the dynamic recrystallization of a lamellae and β lamellae. As a result, ASB of bimodal alloy is composed of a/β nanomultilayers. Chemical redistribution does not occur in ASB of bimodal alloy. Bimodal Ti-5553 alloy should be a promising candidate for high performance armors with high mass efficiency due to the processes high dynamic flow stress and excellent ASB-resistance.
