description Friction conditions significantly impact the temperature and phases of titanium forged parts, further directly affecting the microstructures and mechanical properties of final parts. In this paper, a 2D simplified finite element (FE) model combined with phase transition equations is developed to simulate a Ti-6Al-4V drum forging procedure. Then, friction effects on the temperature and phases of the forged drum are numerically analyzed and verified by experiments. The simulated results indicate that a reasonable range of friction factor is needed to obtain a relatively homogenous temperature distribution within the forged drum. Moreover, unlike its small influence on the α + β phase, improving friction obviously decreases the general levels of temperature and β phase and increases the homogeneities of α and β phases within the forged drum, which are associated with cooling rates and the heating effects of friction and deformation.
