In this study, isothermal compression tests of TB18 titanium alloy were conducted using a Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator for temperatures ranging from 650 to 880 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 10 s−1, with a constant height reduction of 60%, to investigate the dynamic softening mechanisms and hot workability of TB18 alloy. The results showed that the flow stress significantly decreased with an increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate, which was affected by the competition between work hardening and dynamic softening. The hyperbolic sine Arrhenius-type constitutive equation was established, and the deformation activation energy was calculated to be 303.91 kJ·mol−1 in the (α + β) phase zone and 212.813 kJ·mol−1 in the β phase zone. The processing map constructed at a true strain of 0.9 exhibited stability and instability regions under the tested deformation conditions. The microstructure characteristics demonstrated that in the stability region, the dominant restoration and flow-softening mechanisms were the dynamic recovery of β phase and dynamic globularization of α grains below transus temperature, as well as the dynamic recovery and continuous dynamic recrystallization of β grains above transus temperature. In the instability region, the dynamic softening mechanism was flow localization in the form of a shear band and a deformation band caused by adiabatic heating.

Isothermal compression tests were carried out on Ti-6.0Al-7.0Nb biomedical titanium alloy at the temperatures of 750900°C (all below β phase transition temperature about 1010°C) and strain rates of 0.0011.0s-1. The processing maps were constructed to evaluate the efficiency of power dissipation (η) and recognize the flow instability regimes. True strain takes great effect on the efficiency of power dissipation η under the different temperatures and strain rates. The value of power dissipation η increases from 0.1 to 0.7 in most areas. When the strain is 0.9, the value of power dissipation η in most regimes is from 30% to 40%. There are two instability regimes respectively located around 780°C/1.0s-1 and 860-900°C/0.001-0.01s-1 when the strains are below 0.5. One of the instability regimes disappears when the strains are 0.5-0.7. When the strain is 0.9, there are still two instability regimes. The safe regime located around 780-840°C/0.1-0.01s-1, and hot deformation can be carried out in this area.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of Ti–5Al–2Sn–2Zr–4Mo–4Cr (Ti-17) alloy in the β-phase field were examined. Hot compression tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 700 and 1100 °C and strain rates ranging from 10-3 to 1 s-1. The obtained true stress–true strain curves exhibited steady-state flow behavior at temperatures above the β-transus temperature (Tβ ~ 890 °C). The microstructural observations suggested that the dynamic recovery process represents a dominant mechanism for the β-phase of the alloy. In contrast, the flow softening was identified at 700 °C at a strain rate of 10–3 s–1. The formation of fine acicular α microstructures was noticed in such a deformation condition, indicating that dynamic phase transformation can occur in the metastable β-phase during hot deformation. Such a dynamic phase transformation also occurred preferentially at the initial β-grain boundaries as well as sub-boundaries that created within the βmatrix via dynamic recovery. The β-processing conditions were also examined by constructing processing maps based on the dynamic materials model (DMM).

Forged TC18 alloy billets with strong <100> texture were selected to investigate the effects of β annealing and near β zone hot deformation on the microstructure and texture by means of optical microscopy, XRD and EBSD techniques. The results showed that the original <100> fiber texture can’t be eliminated through β annealing although completed static recrystallization happened during annealing. After deforming in near β phase zone, the microstructures were composed of elongated β grains. A lot of small angle boundaries were observed near the original β grain boundaries, indicating that dynamic recovery controlled the deformation. Dynamic recrystallization grains can only be seen at the original β grain boundary at the strain of 50%. <100>//TD and <111>//TD texture were generated during the near β zone hot deformation. Annealing at dual phase zone after hot deformation can effectively reduce the proportion of grains with <111> orientation, but the <100>//TD texture still existed.

The characterizations of hot working behavior of a near-α titanium alloy using the approach of processing maps are described. Processing map in the α+β region exhibit a domain of the globularization process of lamellar structure and α dynamic recrystallization with a power dissipation efficiency of 0.6-0.9. In the β region the map exhibited a domain centered around 1060°C and 0.1 s-1with a power dissipation efficiency of 0.76 where the β phase undergoes dynamic recrystallization. At higher strain rate flow instability occurs in the α+β region due to adiabatic shear bands formation as well as in the β region due to flow inhomogeneity of β phase.

Hot Deformation Behavior

Isothermal compression tests of TC18 titanium alloy at the deformation temperatures ranging from 25?C to 800?C and strain rate ranging from 10-4 to 10-2 s-1 were conducted by using a WDW-300 electronic universal testing machine. The hot deformation behavior of TC18 was characterized based on an analysis of the true stress-true strain curves of TC18 titanium alloy. The curves show that the flow stress increases with increasing the strain rate and decreases with increasing the temperature, and the strain rate play an important role in the flow stress when increasing the temperatures. By taking the effect of strain into account, an improved constitutive relationship was proposed based on the Arrhenius equation. By comparison with the experimental results, the model prediction agreed well with the experimental data, which demonstrated the established constitutive relationship was reliable and can be used to predict the hot deformation behavior of TC18 titanium alloy.

Dynamic Softening

The flow behavior and associated microstructural changes of wrought 6069 Al alloy deformed in tension were analyzed in this work. Tensile tests were conducted on an extruded tube with a thickness of 1.6 mm in the temperature range of 300–500 oC, with initial strain rates from 0.001 to 0.1 s-1. The true stress–true strain curves exhibited a peak stress at a critical strain. The overall level of the flow curve increased when the strain rate was increased and/or the temperature was decreased. The flow curves exhibited a typical flow behavior with dynamic softening and showed that the softening degree after reaching the peak stress was dependent on the deformation conditions. This could be related to the softening mechanism. The main softening mechanism of the alloy was dynamic recovery (DRV) at low temperatures; dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred as deformed at high temperatures.

In order to study the hot workability of TC21 titanium alloy, isothermal hot compression tests were conducted in the temperatures range of 1123~1203K and strain rates range of 0.01~10s-1. The influence of strain was incorporated in hyperbolic sine constitutive equation by considering the effect of strain on material constants. Correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE) were introduced to verify the validity of the developed hyperbolic sine constitutive equation. The values of R and AARE were determined to be 0.9891 and 7.753% respectively, which indicated that the developed hyperbolic sine constitutive equation considering strain compensation could precisely predict the flow behavior of TC21 titanium alloy throughout the entire range of temperatures and strain rates.

Isothermal compression tests were carried out on GH4133B superalloy at 940–1060°C (below nominal γ΄-transus temperature of 1080°C) and 0.001–1.0s-1. The processing maps were constructed to evaluate the efficiency of power dissipation (η) and recognize the flow instability regimes. Our investigations demonstrate that true strain takes great effect on processing maps' evolution. At 1020°C/1.0s-1, the efficiency valueηundergoes a small decline at low strains, and then increases linearly from 0.26 to 0.58 at high strains. However, the efficiency value remains high constant (η=0.40) with the increased strain under the condition of 980°C/0.001s-1. As a result, hot deformation can be carried out firstly at 980°C/0.001s-1with small strain about 0.35 and then carried out at 1020°C/1.0s-1to get fine homogeneous microstructure. There are two instability regimes respectively located around 940°C/1.0s-1and 1060°C/0.001s-1when the strains are 0.05–0.40. Moreover, there is another instability regime located around 1060°C/1.0s-1when the strains are 0.45–0.69.

Two-phase TC21 titanium alloy samples were solution-treated at 990 °C (β phase zone) and cooled by furnace cooling (FC), air cooling (AC), and water quenching (WQ), respectively. The second solution stage treatment was carried out at 900 °C (α + β phase zone), then aging treatment was performed at 590 °C. The influence of the size and quantity of the α phase on the properties of the sample were studied. The experimental results showed as the cooling rate increased after the first solution stage treatment, wherein the thickness of primary layer α gradually decreased, and the tensile strength and yield strength gradually increased. After the second solution stage treatment, the tensile properties of samples increased due to the quantity of layers α increased. The aging treatment promoted the precipitation of the dispersed α phase and further improved the tensile strength. After the third solution stage treatments, the FC samples with more β-phase had the best comprehensive mechanical properties.
