Abstract
The additive manufactured Ti6Al4V-xH titanium alloy was compressed at 600°C–750 °C on a Gleeble 3800 testing machine, and the compression rates were 1s−1 and 0.01s−1, respectively. The experimental results show that with the increase of hydrogen content, the flow stress of the alloy decreases firstly and then increases gradually. When the hydrogen content is 0.27 wt%, the flow stress of titanium alloy is the smallest. EBSD and TEM analysis were carried out and show that the α lamellar microstructure became larger at 0.27H, the corresponding flow stress also decreased, and slip bands appeared in the alloy. Dislocation slip was an important deformation mechanism of the alloy. When the hydrogen content continued to increase, the α phase in the alloy gradually decreased, and α″ appeared at 0.81H. Therefore, adding appropriate hydrogen can reduce the alloy flow stress and improve the performance of titanium alloy during hot deformation.
