High temperature plasticity of titanium grade 4: Experimental investigation and constitutive modeling
摘要
Titanium is a metal that has excellent properties for industrial use, but its plastic deformation at room temperature is generally challenging. Although it’s the strongest among commercially pure titanium, titanium grade 4 has not been thoroughly investigated for plastic forming at high temperatures. This study involves conducting high-temperature tensile tests of titanium grade 4 by strain rates and temperatures. From the experimental results, various phenomena occurring at high temperatures are analyzed. Afterward, two constitutive models—the Johnson-Cook model and a newly proposed model—are used separately depending on the temperature range considering warm-hot transition temperature. This study aims to improve the accuracy of finite element analysis in predicting the plastic deformation of titanium grade 4 at high temperatures.
