Deformation Heating and Temperature Changes in a Near-β Titanium Alloy during β-Processed Forging

We investigated the temperature increase caused by heat generation from plastic deformation during β-processed forging in a near-β titanium alloy, Ti-17 alloy (Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Cr-4Mo, wt%), by inserting thermocouples into large workpieces (100 mm in diameter and 50 mm in height). The workpiece was i...

description We investigated the temperature increase caused by heat generation from plastic deformation during β-processed forging in a near-β titanium alloy, Ti-17 alloy (Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Cr-4Mo, wt%), by inserting thermocouples into large workpieces (100 mm in diameter and 50 mm in height). The workpiece was initially heated and held at 1193 K (920 °C) in the single-β region. It was subsequently forged between hot dies in surrounding heaters at a compression percentage of 75% at strain rates of 0.05 and 0.5 s<sup>−1</sup> at 1023–1123 K in the (α + β) region. At 0.05 s<sup>−1</sup>, the temperature logarithmically increased by 39 K in 28 s for 1023 K; it increased by 30 K in 28 s for 1073 K. However, at 0.5 s<sup>−1</sup>, the material temperature increased, in 3 s, beyond or close to the β-transus temperature during forging at 1023 and 1073 K. In addition, as the forging temperature decreased, the increase in material temperature moderated, resulting in a difference of 27 K in the last forging stage, between the conditions of 1023 and 1073 K. This would reduce the temperature difference effect on microstructure formation during β-processed forging.
