The tensile and tensile-creep deformation behavior of Ti–8Al–1Mo–1V(wt%)

Abstract

The deformation behavior of titanium (Ti) can be complex due to the lower crystal symmetry of the hexagonal  phase compared with metals based on cubic phases. The tensile and tensile-creep deformation behavior of a Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V(wt.%) alloy with a weak crystallographic texture was investigated in-situ straining scanning electron microscopy. Tensile experiments were performed at room temperature (RT), 260 o C, 455 o C, and 650 o C, while tensile-creep experiments were performed at 370 o C and 455 o C. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) was performed both before and after the deformation, and slip trace analysis was used to identify the activation of the slip modes as a function of temperature and the associated global-stress-state Schmid factors. While extensive slip was characterized during the tensile tests, no twinning was observed. During the RT tensile tests the majority of the slip observed was on prismatic planes, while the relative activity of basal slip increased with temperature, such that at 455 o C, basal slip and prismatic slip were equally active. Some grain boundary and triple point cracking occurred during the elevated-temperature tensile deformation, while less slip activity and more grain boundary ledge formation were observed during the tensile-creep deformation. During tensile-creep, basal slip was more prevalent than prismatic slip and some transgranular cracks formed.

Formation of slip bands and microstructure evolution of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-0.5Fe alloy during warm deformation process

“…Heidenreich [15] firstly observed the fine structure of slip bands on the surfaces of plastically deformed crystals. Until now, plenty of researchers [16,17,18] have made a substantial contribution to this field, especially to finding the relationship between the slip bands and plastic deformation. In polycrystalline materials, the presence of…”

Significantly enhanced creep resistance of low volume fraction in-situ TiBw/Ti6Al4V composites by architectured network reinforcements

“…The results suggest that the reinforcements present in the TMCs have a strong influence on the two micromechanical mechanisms that govern the creep deformation: the grain boundary sliding that dominates in the low stress region, and the dislocation climbing prevailing in the high stress region. Dastidar et al 30. have evaluated the creep deformation of Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V at 728 K, and observed that although slip was present, the grain boundary sliding was the most active deformation mechanism.…”

In-situ EBSD characterization of deformation behavior of primary alpha phase in Ti-6Al-4V

“…However, the tensile strength and elongation of the specimen obtained by the in-situ tensile test were higher than of the sample obtained by regular tensile test. This phenomenon may be caused by the creep deformation that happened during the loading stops of the in-situ tensile test [11]. Namely, the view direction of the figure is for the normal direction (ND) of the plate specimen, the horizontal direction for the loading direction (LD), and the vertical direction for the transverse direction (TD).…”
