Modelling of the Ductile Damage Behaviour of a Beta Solidifying Gamma Titanium Aluminide Alloy during Hot-Working

Abstract:

Gamma titanium aluminides are innovative materials for high temperature and light weight applications [1]. On the other hand, their hot workability can be limited by failure during hot deformation processes. The prediction of ductile damage in metallic materials can be performed by macromechanical ductile damage criteria [2-4]. If the calculated damage D parameter exceeds a critical value D_c, the material fails. Some macromechanical ductile damage criteria are shown in Table 1, with σ as effective stress, ε as effective strain, σ_max as maximum principal stress, σ_m as hydrostatic stress (mean stress) and εf as equivalent fracture strain. The damage responds to strain localization and thus, to multiaxial stress concentration that increases fracture probability.
