Dependence of α-phase size on flow stress during dynamic recrystallization steady state in Ti60 alloy

摘要

The dependence of a-phase size on flow stress was characterized by a proposed kinetic model during dynamic recrystallization(DRX) steady state in Ti60 alloy. According to the isothermal compression tests, the influence of deformation parameters on the steady-state flow stress was analyzed and the constitutive equation was established to predict the steady-state flow stress under different deformation temperatures and strain rates. A power-law relationship between the DRX average grain size and steadystate flow stress with an exponent of —2 is obtained from the dynamic balance during DRX steady state. The effect of deformation parameters on a-phase size was observed through the microstructure after deformation, and the applicability of the model for Ti60 alloy was verified by the comparison between predicted and experimental data.
