| Abstract: | The mill products like sheet always have one or more severe textures inevitably,and its effect on mechan-ical properties is not a negligible issue.The orientation dependent tensile-creep behavior induced by rolling texture of Ti65 titanium alloy sheet has been systematically investigated at 650℃.There are some anisotropic characteristics between TD and RD of Ti65 sheet.The UTS and TYS of TD are higher than RD at 650℃.Besides,the creep endurance time of TD(172.6-174.5 h)is about three times longer than RD(55.6-65.1 h)at 650℃and 240 MPa.Moreover,the grains are inclined to form Texture Ⅲ(1 2(1)6)1(2)11]and(01(1)3)1(2)11]after creep along with TD,but to form Texture I((1)2-(1)0)10-(1)0]after creep along with RD.Finally,the crack initiation site is different during creep in TD and RD.The reason for anisotropic properties of tensile and creep has been summarized in two aspects:(ⅰ)the change of the SFs(Schmid factors)value between TD and RD;(ⅱ)the difference of creep mechanism between TD(grain boundary sliding)and RD(dislocation slip).Anisotropy of Ti65 sheet should be fully considered to increase structural efficiency in the engineering design and application. |
