Hot Compressive Behavior and Constitutive Equation of Ti-Al-Nb-Zr-Mo-Cr Alloy

Abstract

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-Al-Nb-Zr-Mo-Cr titanium alloy was studied by hot compressive method in this paper, and the flow stress constitutive equation and activation energy also calculated. The results show that the flow stress increased with deformation temperature dropping and strain rate increasing. The flow behavior of the sample hot-deformaed exhibited a peak value of stress in the α+β field, whereas, the true stress attained a steady state in the β field. According to the stress-strain curves of the alloy and its stress characteristics, the Arrhenius constitutive equation was obtained. The average activation energy was about 654.228 KJ/mol in the α+β field, and about 272.196 KJ/mol in the β field, respectively.

Hot Deformation Behavior and Processing Map of GH901 Superalloy

“…The analysis of the influence of different deformation parameters on the rheological behavior of the alloy can then be conducted. The hot deformation constitutive equation [3][4][5] and processing map of the alloy are obtained by constructing the relationship among deformation temperatures, strain rates and deformation amount. The microstructure and machinability of the alloy under hot deformation can be accurately predicted by analyzing the processing map [6][7][8].…”
