Abstract

Hot deformation behaviour of Ti-900 (Ti-6.5Al-3.2Mo-1.8Zr-0.25Si) alloy has been analyzed by conducting an isothermal hot compression test at 850 °C to 1050 °C temperatures and strain rates between 0.001 s−1 to 10 s−1. The effect of strain rates and deformation temperature on flow stress is investigated. The processing maps are constructed, and constitutive equations are studied to understand the formability of the novel titanium alloy in the different temperatures and strain rates regimes. Results suggest that temperatures and strain rates between 880 °C to 950 °C and 0.001 s−1 to 0.01 s−1 are the optimal processing window for this alloy. The kinetic rate equation indicates that the apparent activation energy for deformation is 531 kJ/mol in the α + β region. Post deformation microstructure formation is also studied.
