High Temperature Deformation Behavior in the Isothermal Compression of Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe Alloy

Abstract

The deformation behavior in isothermal compression of Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy was investigated at the deformation temperature of 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, 950°C and 1000°C, the strain rate of 0.01s-1, 0.1s-1, 1.0s-1and 10.0s-1, and the height reduction of 70%. The flow stress increases rapidly with the increasing of strain at the beginning of deformation. When the strain exceeds a certain value, the flow stress begins to decline and becomes steady. With the increasing of deformation temperature and decreasing of strain rate, the steady stress and peak stress decrease significantly. The effect of strain on the processing maps of Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy is obvious. As the strain increases, the instable region moves towards high temperature and high strain rate area. Meanwhile, the contour of efficiency of power dissipation becomes more and more intensive, and the region with high efficiency of power dissipation reduces. Strain rate of 0.01s-1and deformation temperature of 900°C are the optimum processing parameters for Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy forging under strain of 0.3.
