Abstract

This study looked into the thermo-mechanical properties and the recrystallization mechanisms of the Ti–5.5Cr–5Mo–5V-4Al–1Nb alloy (wt.%, Ti−65541). Hot compression experiments were conducted at two phase regions (740~950 °C) and strain rates from 0.001 to 1 s−1. The compressive strain–stress curves were corrected by the adiabatic heating effect. The Arrhenius model was established and provided a reliable prediction of the value of stress with a 0.992 correlation coefficient. The constructed processing map demonstrated that when the temperature rose and the strain rate fell, the power dissipation efficiency (η) showed a rising trend. By utilizing electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), the microstructural evolution and deformation process were analyzed. It was possible to witness both continuous dynamic recrystallization (cDRX) and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (dDRX). The dynamic recovery (DRV) and dDRX eventually replaced dDRX while η decreased. Moreover, the deformation band (DB) impeded re-crystallization in the low η area. This study can supply a relatively reliable processing interval for the new Ti−65541 alloy.
