Hot deformation behavior and globularization mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B alloy with lamellar microstructure

Hot deformation behavior and globularization mechanism of Ti6A14V0.1B alloy with lamellar micro structure were quantitatively studied through isothermal compression tests with the temperature range of 850950 ℃and strain rate range of 0.011.00 s1. The results show that the peak flow stress and steady stress are sensitive to the strain rate and temperature. The value of deformation activation energy is 890.49 kJmo11 in （a＋β） region. Dynamic recrystallization is the major deformation mecha nism. Flow softening is dominated by dynamic recrystallization at 850950 ℃. TiB particles promote the recrystallization of laths. Globularization processes consist of four steps： for mation of subgrain after dynamic recovery in a plates; subgrain boundary migration caused by interracial instability; interfacial migration promoting phase wedge into a phase; disintegrating of a laths by diffusion processes; and grain boundary sliding. Globularization mechanisms during hot deformation processes of the Ti6A14V0.1B alloy with lamellar structure are continuous dynamic recrystallization.

Hot deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1Ru alloy during isothermal compression

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-6 Al-4 V-0.1 Ru titanium alloy was investigated by isothermal compression tests on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator over deformation temperature range of 1023-1423 K and strain rate of 0.01-10 s-1.Arrhenius-type constitutive models were developed for temperature ranges of bothα+βdual phase andβsingle phase at strain of 0.1.Afterwards,a series of material constants(including activation energy Q,material constants n,αand ln A)as polynomial functions of strain were introduced into Arrhenius-type models.Finally,the improved Arrhenius-type models in temperature field ofα+βandβphase were constructed.The results show that the improved Arrhenius-type models contribute to the calculation of Zener-Hollomon(Z)parameter,and the microstructural evolution mechanism is uncovered by combining microstructure observations with Z-parameter.Furthermore,the improved Arrhenius-type models are also helpful to improve the accuracy of finite element method(FEM)simulation in the deformation process of Ti-6 Al-4 V-0.1 Ru titanium alloy.

Effect of heat treatment processing on microstructure and tensile properties of Ti-6Al-4V-10Nb alloy

Effects of heat treatment processing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V-10Nb alloy were investigated. The microstructures were investigated by SEM, TEM and XRD, and the mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests at room and elevated temperatures. The results indicate that the lath-like and globular primary α phase, secondary α phase and β phase are obtained after forging and heat treatment processing. The size of secondary α phase is much smaller than that of primary α phase. After heat treatment, the volume fraction of primary α phase is decreased, and that of secondary α phase is increased. With the increase of solution temperature, the volume fraction of primary α phase is gradually decreased, and that of secondary α phase is obviously increased. The yield strength and tensile strength of Ti-6Al-4V-10Nb alloy are significantly enhanced with the solution temperature increasing.

研究了不同热处理条件下两相区轧制的Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金棒材的组织和性能。研究结果表明,α+β相区热处理后获得等轴组织或双态组织,随着热处理温度的升高,初生α相含量降低;β相区热处理后获得魏氏组织,原始β晶粒及α集束的尺寸随着热处理温度的升高而增大。在拉伸变形时,魏氏组织的强度高于双态组织,但塑性明显低于后者。900℃/1 h,AC+540℃/8 h,AC和1 080℃/1 h,AC+540℃/8 h,AC处理之后获得等轴组织和魏氏组织,具有该组织类型合金最佳的强度和塑性匹配,在拉伸载荷的作用下,TiB相与基体之间存在很好的结合力,TiB相在拉伸过程中传递载荷。

Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B钛合金的热压缩变形行为

作为一种新型合金,Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金显示了较好的塑性成形能力及应用前景。通过真空感应凝壳熔炼方法制备了Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金铸锭,随后在850~985℃的温度范围内和0.001~1 s-1的应变速率范围内对Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金进行热压缩测试。运用真应力-真应变曲线研究了合金的流动行为。利用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)和电子背散射衍射技术(EBSD)对合金显微组织进行了表征。研究结果显示,Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金的流动应力对温度和应变速率都是敏感的,且温度对流动应力的影响比应变速率大。与基体合金相比,Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金具有更高的应力指数和应变激活能,这归因于分布在晶界处的TiB增加了原子扩散的阻力,减慢了热变形动态软化过程。热压缩过程中,初生α相发生了明显的球化,球化过程也受变形温度和应变速率的影响。由于TiB与基体之间的应变不匹配导致了高应变速率下合金基体的开裂,随后裂纹沿着定向排列的TiB粒子扩展,因此Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B合金的热加工过程应在低应变速率下进行。
