Interaction between β → α phase transformation precipitation and recrystallization during double-fire deformation of Ti-55511 alloy
摘要
The cooling rate after forging is one of the decisive factors for the microstructure evolution of near-β titanium alloy. The relationship between β → α transformation characteristics and recrystallization of Ti-55511 alloy during double fire deformation was investigated. The results show that when the cooling rate after forging is 25 °C/s, the inhibitory effect of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) degree on β → α is greater than that of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) during double fire deformation. The discontinuous grain boundary α phase is mostly preferentially precipitated on the grain boundary of the < 123 > β special misorientation angle axis when the cooling rate is 0.5 °C/s. With the increase of holding time, the α variant of < 11–20 > /80–90° gradually transforms to < -48–43 > /60–70°, and then to < 11–20 > /50–60° twin. The triangular clusters are formed inside the (102)β grains when the holding time is 50 min, which are composed of three variants of (20–23)α, (32–53)α and (32–5-2)α. With the extension of holding time, the content of short rod-like α phase in the grain gradually increases. The β subgrain boundary is pinned by α precipitation, which inhibits the occurrence of CDRX. The second stage of deformation further promotes the occurrence of strain-induced β → α transformation.
