Evolution of Microstructure and Texture During Hot Deformation of the Ti-6Al-4Mo-1 V-0.1Si Alloy
摘要
This study examines the effect of temperature and strain rate on microstructure and texture evolution during hot deformation of a Ti-6Al-4Mo-1 V-0.1Si alloy. Deformation was conducted in the α, α + β, and β phase fields at strain rates of 0.01 s⁻1, 1 s⁻1, and 10 s⁻1, with samples compressed to 50% height reduction. Peak flow stress decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Significant microstructural and textural changes were observed. At 800 °C, α lamellae exhibited kinking and bending with the formation of texture components such as (011̅0)[21̅12̅] and (112̅0)[22̅03]. At 950 °C, the microstructure consisted of globular and elongated α, with texture components like (011̅0)[844̅3] and [022̅3] along the compression direction. At 1050 °C, martensitic structures formed, accompanied by recrystallized β grains and fibre textures like < 202̅3 > and < 112̅0 > along the compression direction.
