Influence of primary α-phase volume fraction on the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at different strain rates and temperatures
Bimodal microstructures with primary α-phase volume fractions ranging from 14.3%to 57.1%were gained in Ti-6Al-4V(Ti-64)alloy through annealed in two-phase region at various temperatures below the β-transus point.Then the influence of the primary α-phase volume fraction on the mechanical properties of Ti-64 were studied.The results show that,at room temperature and a strain rate of 10?3 s?1,the yield stress decreases but the fracture strain augments with added primary α-phase volume fraction.The equiaxed primary α-phase possesses stronger ability to coordinate plastic deformation,leading to the improvement of the ductile as well as degradation of the strength of Ti-64 with higher primary α-phase volume fraction.As the temperature goes up to 473 K,the quasi-static yield stress and ultimate strength decrease first and then increase with the incremental primary α-phase volume fraction,due to the interaction between the work hardening and the softening caused by the DRX and the growth of the primary α-phase.At room temperature and a strain rate of 3×103 s?1,the varying pattern of strength with the primary α-phase volume fraction resembles that at a quasi-static strain rate.However,the flow stress significantly increases but the strain-hardening rate decreases compared to those at quasi-static strain rate due to the competition between the strain rate hardening and the thermal softening during dynamic compression process.
