Abstract

The addition of expensive elements to β titanium alloys, which are widely used in the aerospace and automobile industries, causes their price to increase. Low-cost, high-strength alloy (Ti-12.1Mo-1.0Fe) was designed in this study and the compressive behaviors of this alloy were evaluated for application to automobile parts, etc. As a result of ambient compression in the quasi-static and dynamic strain rate range (1×10<sup>-4</sup>/s~6×10<sup>3</sup>/s), twinning occurred at all strain rates, and in particular, adiabatic shear bands were observed, which cause cracks and fractures under dynamic strain rate conditions. In addition, when the relationship between these bands and mechanical characteristics was evaluated, an increase of compression strength and Vickers hardness was confirmed to occur, due to the strain rate hardening effect under compression loading. Some twins were formed by the deformation behavior during compression plastic deformation of the Ti-12.1Mo-1.0Fe alloy, and it exhibited excellent compression strength characteristics, showing a very high strain rate hardening effect at a high strain rate.
