Deformation Behavior and Microstructure Evolution of Powder Metallurgy Ti6Al4V Alloy During Hot Compression
Source abstract
Abstract
In order to determine appropriate workability parameters for cross-wedge rolling products of powder metallurgy (PM) Ti6Al4V alloys, thermal compression experiments were carried out within the temperature range of 850-1050 °C, the strain rate range of 0.1-10 s−1, and with a height decrease of 60%. The compression deformation behavior was investigated. A strain-compensated constitutive model was established based on the flow stress curves corrected by the friction, which can predict the flow behaviors under the entirety of the experimental deformation conditions. Moreover, the processing map was developed, and stable and unstable deformation regimes were established. The microstructure analysis illustrated that globularization and dynamic recrystallization were the main deformation mechanisms. The porosity of the compressed samples was greatly reduced and influenced by the temperature and strain rate. Considering the material flow stress, hot processing map, microstructure and porosity, the appropriate hot deformation parameters for PM Ti6Al4V alloy preforms are suggested.
