Abstract
Abstract The sensitivity analysis functions on globularized fraction of α lamellae were established using a physically-based microstructure model and gradient method. These functions were applied to the sensitivity analysis on globularized fraction of α lamellae in TC17 alloy. The material constants in these functions are determined using the genetic algorithm-based objective optimization technique. The globularized fraction of α lamellae during isothermal compression of TC17 alloy was quantitatively analyzed based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. The results show that α lamellae mostly change to equiaxed α grains at a deformation temperature of 1083 K, a strain rate of 0.01 s−1 and a strain of 1.2. The globularized fraction decreases with increasing strain rate because lower strain rate provides enough time for the spheroidization. The effect of deformation temperature on the globularized fraction is controlled by the strain rate. And, the predicted derivations of globularized fraction with respect to processing parameters show good agreement with the experimental values.
