Abstract
Abstract A new metastable β titanium alloy Ti–6Cr–5Mo–5V–4Al (Ti-6554) has shown good application potential in large parts. In order to study the hot deformation behavior and mechanism of the Ti-6554 alloy in the β single phase region, hot compression tests were carried out at temperatures of 800–950 °C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1 on the Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. Strain-compensated Arrhenius constitutive model was used to predict the flow behavior of the alloy, and the correlation coefficient between the experimental and predicted values reached 0.982. Based on the hot processing map, it was found that the instability region was mainly concentrated in the high strain rate area, and the peak efficiency of power dissipation (η) region occurs in the temperature range of 913–928 °C and the strain rate of 0.001–0.0025 s-1. There was an obvious DRX phenomenon in the stability region, while the instability region was dominated by deformation band (DB) and flow localization (FL). The continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) by progressive rotation of subgrains and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) by grain boundaries bulging could be observed. DDRX mainly occurred in high temperature and low strain rate regions, while the CDRX process occurred in the high strain rate region. As the η decreased, the deformation mechanism changed from DDRX to CDRX and further to dynamic recovery (DRV), DB, FL.
