摘要

The βtrans (β transformed microstructure) of a bimodal Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr alloy was refined via high strain rate (~ 13.5 s− 1) forging at 900 °C followed with duplex aging (350 °C/1.5, 2, 2.5 h + 600 °C/2.5 h) treatments. The microstructure evolutions, mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of alloy suffering this processing were studied in detail. Results show that the forging deformation promotes the α→β transformation, dynamic recrystallization and dislocation multiplication of β phase. The yield strength (σ0.2) and ultimate tensile strength (σb) of as-forged alloy are lower than the as-received alloy (σ0.2:1073 MPa, σb:1134 MPa), but the elongation (δ) is increased (maximum to 24%). The decreased strength of as-forged alloy is attributed to the αs to β phase transformation while the higher ductility is caused by multiple dislocation slipping and plastic extension of β phase, together with the elongation and < 11–20 > twin activation of αp. After duplex aging, the initial βtrans of as-received alloy is refined greatly due to the nano-scale αs precipitation, in which the alloy aged at 350 °C/1.5 h + 600 °C/2.5 h displays the σ0.2, σb and δ of 1466 MPa,1503 MPa and 5.9% respectively. The α/β phase interface strengthening is the dominated strengthening mechanism of βtrans refined alloy and the limited dislocation strengthening is also helpful. The shorter soaking time at 350 °C results to more homogeneous αs precipitation in βtrans, which are attributed to the dispersed dislocations in β phase, ω/β interface assisted nucleation and β phase separation.
