High Temperature Deformation Behaviors for α+β Type Biomedical Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-7Nb

Isothermal hot compression tests were carried out in the temperature range 750-900℃ and strain rate range 0.001-10s-1 for implant biomedical Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy to obtain the hot deformation behaviors. Hot tensile tests were conducted to examine the hot ductility. Deformed microstructures were observed by optical and electron transmission microscope. The stress-strain curves in hot compression tests behave the characteristics of flow softening. The flow softening at =0.001~0.1s-1 is caused by dynamic recrystallization of a phase. Especially, the full dynamic recrystallization occurs at 750℃ and strain rate 0.01 s-1, which produces refined grains with the size of 1~2μm. No dynamic recrystallization was found at strain rate of 1~10s –1. Here the flow softening is caused by the adiabatic effect and dynamic recovery. According to the kinetic rate equation, the apparent activation energies at 750℃, 800℃, 850℃ and 900℃ are calculated to be 209 kJ/mol, 196 kJ/mol, 194 kJ/mol and 130kJ/mol, respectively. Combining the kinetic analysis with the observation of deformed microstructures, it is concluded that at lower temperature (750-850℃) and slow strain rate (0.001~0.1s-1) the deformation is mainly controlled by recrystallization and grain boundary slide of α phase. At higher temperature (900℃) or large strain rate (1~10s –1) the dynamic recovery in b phase is rate-controlling step. Considering workability and microstructural control, the optimum hot deformation conditions are determined in the temperature range 750-850℃ and strain rate range 0.01-0.1s-1.
