Creep Features of Ti-600 Alloy at the Temperature of 650°C

Abstract:

Creep tests were carried out on one kind of near alpha titanium alloy named after Ti-600 alloy at the temperature of 650°C, and with the stresses of 150MPa, 200MPa, 250 MPa, 300 MPa and 350 MPa, respectively. The alloy ingot was conventionally forged and rolled to diameter 18mm bars. The creep samples were cut from the rolling bars and were solutioned at 1020°C for 1 h, air cooling, then aged at 650°C for 8 h, air cooling (STA). Steady state creep rate and the stress exponent n at different stresses were calculated for the alloy. Threshold stress σ₀ was introduced to get the true stress exponent p. Creep deformation mechanism was also investigated. The results indicated that the steady state creep rate will increase with the rise of stress, and the creep time will also be shortened at the same time. At 650°C, the threshold stress is 83.8MPa. The value of n and p is 7.7 and 3.3 respectively for the alloy crept at lower stress region (150-200MPa); and which is 2.1 and 4.7 respectively for the alloy crept at relatively higher stress region (200-350MPa). Constitutive equations of steady state creep rate were also established for the alloy crept at 650°C. The creep deformation for the alloy is controlled by dislocation slipping at lower stress region, and which is mainly controlled by dislocation climbing and subordinately controlled by dislocation slipping at higher stress region.
