Abstract

A low-cost titanium alloy (Ti–5Al–2Fe–3Mo wt.%) was designed and fabricated by blended elemental powder metallurgy (BEPM) process. The high-temperature deformation behavior of the powder metallurgical Ti–5Al–2Fe–3Mo wt.% (PM-TiAlFeMo) alloy was investigated by hot compression tests at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 10 s−1. The flow curves were employed to develop the Arrhenius-type constitutive model in consideration of effects of deformation temperature, strain rate, and flow stress. The value of activation energy (Q) was determined as 413.25 kJ/mol. In order to describe the workability and predict the optimum hot processing parameters of the PM-TiAlFeMo alloy, the processing map has been established based on the true stress–true strain curves and power dissipation efficiency map. Moreover, microstructure observations match well with the analyses about deformation mechanisms, revealing that dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization are dominant softening mechanisms at relatively high temperatures. However, the kinking and breaking of microstructure prefer to occur at relatively low temperatures.
