Effect of the hydrogen content on the deformation behavior in the isothermal compression of Ti600 alloy

摘要

Isothermal compression of the Ti600 alloy at the hydrogen contents ranging from 0.16wt% to 0.45 wt%, the deformation temperatures ranging from 800℃ to 1000℃ and the strain rates of 0.001 s~(-1), 0.01 s~(-1), 0.1 s~(-1),1.0 s~(-1) and 10.0 s~(-1) was conducted on a Gleeble-1500D thermo-mechanicaI simulator. According to the experimental results of Ti600 alloy, the strain hardening exponent decreases with the increasing of hydrogen content. The hydrogen content, deformation temperature and strain rate affects significantly the temperature sensitivity exponent and the strain rate sensitivity exponent of Ti600 alloy, but the strain affects the temperature sensitivity exponent of Ti600 alloy slightly. The hydrogen content decreases the apparent activation energy for deformation in the α + β region of Ti600 alloy by 30%, but the effect of the hydrogen content in the β region of Ti600 alloy is slight.
