Characterization of Hot Deformation Behavior of Ti-4.5Al-3V-2Mo-2Fe Titanium Alloy

Abstract:

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-4.5Al-3V-2Mo-2Fe (SP-700) titanium alloy in the temperature range of 650°C~950°C and constant strain rate of 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10s^-1 has been investigated by hot compressive testing on the Gleeble-1500D thermal simulation test machine. The experimental results indicated that the hot deformation behavior of SP-700 alloy was sensitive to the deformation temperature and strain rate. The peak flow stress decreased with the increase of temperature and the decrease of strain rate. The flow curves characteristic under different deformation parameters show significant different. Analysis of the flow stress dependence on strain rate and temperature gives a stress exponent of n as 4.8235 and a deformation activation energy of Q as 410kJ/mol. Based on the dynamic materials model, the processing map is generated, which shows that the most peak efficiency domain appears at the temperature of 725°C~775°C and the strain rate of 0.001 s^-1~0.003s^-1 with a peak efficiency of 45% at about 750°C/0.01s^-1.
