Thermomechanical Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

Ti-6Al-4V, among the Ti alloys, is the most widely used. In the present work, the behavior of Ti-6Ak-4V alloy has beeninvestigated by the uniaxial hot isothermal compression tests and a series of dilatometric experiments were also carried out todetermine the transformation temperatures at different cooling rates. Specimens for hot compression tests were homogenizedat 1050℃ for 10 min and then quickly cooled to different straining temperatures from 1050 to 850℃. Cooling rates were chosenfast enough to prevent high temperature transformation during cooling. Compression tests were conducted at temperaturesfrom 1050 to 850℃ in steps of 50℃ at constant true strain rates of 10~(-3) or 10~(-2) s~(-1). The apparent activation energy forcompression in two-phase region was calculated 420 kJ·mol~(-1). Partial globularization of cr phase was observed in the specimendeformed at low strain rates and at temperatures near the transformation zone and annealed after deformation.     

氢对Ti-6Al-4V合金室温压缩性能的影响

为了研究氢对Ti-6Al-4V合金室温压缩性能的影响,采用Zwick/Z100型材料试验机对置氢Ti-6Al-4V合金进行了压缩试验,并利用OM、XRD和TEM等材料分析方法对合金的微观组织进行了观察.研究表明:置氢前,Ti-6Al-4V合金由等轴的α相和β相组成,置氢后,出现马氏体组织和氢化物;随氢含量增加,马氏体和剩余β相数量增多;氢提高了Ti-6Al-4V合金的抗压强度和塑性等室温压缩性能,最大增幅分别为33.9%和56.3%;置氢Ti-6Al-4V合金抗压强度的提高主要归因于氢的固溶强化、马氏体相变强化和氢化物强化;塑性指标的提高主要是置氢合金中塑性β相数量的增多所致.     

Ti-6Al-4V合金热压缩过程中的动态再结晶

在变形温度为870~960℃、应变速率为5×10^-4 s^-1~5×10^-2 s^-1的条件下对Ti-6Al-4V合金进行单道次等温压缩实验,测出其应力-应变曲线并建立KM模型、Poliak-Jonas模型和Avrami模型,较为系统地描述了这种合金动态再结晶过程中的流变应力、临界应变量、组织演变动力学等的特征。将动态再结晶组织的转变体积分数引入Prasad功率耗散率模型,得到了Ti-6Al-4V合金动态再结晶过程中能量的变化规律并结合微观组织表征揭示了这种合金的动态再结晶机理。结果表明：随着变形温度的提高和应变速率的降低,Ti-6Al-4V合金的动态再结晶临界应变量减小,组织转变的体积分数增大。发生完全动态再结晶时的功率耗散率大于0.34,形核机制为位错诱导的弓出形核机制。

Effect of mean stress on fretting fatigue of Ti-6Al-4V on Ti-6Al-4V

Fretting fatigue tests of Ti‐6Al‐4V on Ti‐6Al‐4V have been conducted to determine the influence of stress amplitude and mean stress on life. The stress ratio was varied from R=−1 to 0.8. Both flat and cylindrical contacts were studied using a bridge‐type fretting fatigue test apparatus operating either in the partial slip or mixed fretting regimes. The fretting fatigue lives were correlated to a Walker equivalent stress relation. The influence of mean stress on fretting fatigue crack initiation, characterized by the value of the Walker exponent, is smaller compared with plain fatigue. The fretting fatigue knockdown factor based on the Walker equivalent stress is 4. Formation of fretting cracks is primarily associated with the tangential force amplitude at the contact interface. A simple fretting fatigue crack initiation metric that is based on the strength of the singular stress field at the edge of contact is evaluated. The metric has the advantage in that it is neither dependent on the coefficient of friction nor the location of the stick/slip boundary, both of which are often difficult to define with certainty a priori.     

Creep failure mechanisms of a Ti-6Al-4V thick plate

The creep failure operating mechanisms of a 17-mm thick plate of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy in various heat treating conditions have been investigated. Specimens in the as-received, mill-annealed, condition (50  min maintenance at 720 °C and air cooled as the final step of the thermomechanical process) showed the lowest creep resistance and their metallographic analysis revealed that the temperature-activated dislocation climb was the mechanism responsible for the failure and that observed holes were generated by plastic deformation, rather than by creep cavitation. Conversely, maximum times to failure were recorded in beta-annealed specimens (1030 °C for 30  min, air cooled and aged for 2  h at 730 °C). The fracture surfaces of these broken specimens exhibited an intergranular morphology that was attributed to grain boundary sliding along the former beta grains. Finally, alpha–beta field-annealed samples (940 °C 4  h, and furnace cooled to 700 °C) possessed intermediate lives between those of mill-annealed and beta-annealed specimens and the failure operating mechanism was diffusional creep by the nucleation and coalescence of the creep cavities generated at the alpha–beta interfaces and the triple points.     

Biaxial deformation of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-4V/TiC composites by transformation-mismatch superplasticity

Gas-pressure bulge forming of unreinforced Ti-6Al-4V and TiC-reinforced Ti-6Al-4V was performed while cycling the temperature around the allotropic transformation range of the alloy (880–1020 °C). The resulting domes exhibited very large strains to fracture without cavitation, demonstrating for the first time the use of transformation-mismatch superplasticity under a biaxial state of stress for both an alloy and a composite. Furthermore, much faster deformation rates were observed upon thermal cycling than for control experiments performed under the same gas pressure at a constant temperature of 1000°C, indicating that efficient superplastic forming of complex shapes can be achieved by transformation-mismatch superplasticity, especially for composites which are difficult to shape with other techniques. However, the deformation rate of the cycled composite was lower than for the alloy, most probably because the composite exhibits lower primary and secondary isothermal creep rates. For both cycled materials, the spatial distribution of principal strains is similar to that observed in domes deformed by isothermal microstructural superplasticity and the forming times can be predicted with existing models for materials with uniaxial strain rate sensitivity of unity. Thus, biaxial transformation-mismatch superplasticity can be modeled within the well-known frame of biaxial microstructural superplasticity, which allows accurate predictions of forming time and strain spatial distribution once the uniaxial constitutive equation of the material is known.     

Fatigue Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V

Low-cycle-fatigue texts in vacuum and air were performed. Under cyclic loading the Ti-6Al-4V showed both cyclic hardening and cyclic softening depending on heat treatment, stress amplitude, and microstructure. Plastic deformation of the β-phase in the unaged condition due to stress induced martensitic transformation caused cyclic hardening. Cyclic softening was observed if the α-phase hardened by coherent Ti₃Al particles was plastically deformed. Equiaxed microstructures exhibited a stronger cyclic softening than lamellar structures. This behavior could be explained by the pronounced texture of the equiaxed microstructures, whereas the lamellar structures were texture-free. The fatigue life was influenced by the cyclic softening process mainly in the low-cycle-fatigue regime. The fatigue life at normalized stress amplitude (σ_a/σ_y) was shorter for microstructures with strong cyclic softening as compared to microstructures with lower cyclic softening.

Superplastic deformation of strongly textured Ti-6 Al-4 V

Stress and strain anisotropy of a strongly textured Ti-6 Al-4 V alloy bar during superplastic deformation at 880 and 928° C has been investigated. After 0.9 superplastic strain at 928° C the deformation tended to become isotropic. The anisotropic superplastic deformation was found to be dependent upon the aligned microstructure and not influenced by the original -phase crystallographic texture. The room-temperature anisotropy before and after superplastic plastic deformation was controlled by the original -phase texture, which was still present even after 1.48 strain (344% elongation) at 928° C.     

Superplastic deformation of Ti-6Al-4V extruded tube

Superplastic forming using conventional alloys and product forms may be a cost effective route for component manufacture. In this paper superplastic deformation of Ti-3Al-4V extruded tube is examined in terms of the strain anisotropy, microstructural changes, the texture and the post-formed tensile properties. Superplastic deformation with low flow stresses over a wide range of strain rates was observed. Strain anisotropy and surface roughening occurred during deformation and was associated with the two-phase, aligned and banded microstructure. A small reduction in the tensile properties was found and changes in the texture were noted after superplastic deformation.
