Pure shear plastic flow and failure of titanium alloys under quasi-static and dynamic torsional loading

The pure shear responses of Ti6Al4V alloy and Ti3Al2.5V alloy, conceived for unique applications in jet engine components, are compared using Digital Image Correlation technique from quasi-static (10−3/s), medium strain rate (101/s) and high strain rates (103/s). A series of bespoke torsion tests ha...

description The pure shear responses of Ti6Al4V alloy and Ti3Al2.5V alloy, conceived for unique applications in jet engine components, are compared using Digital Image Correlation technique from quasi-static (10−3/s), medium strain rate (101/s) and high strain rates (103/s). A series of bespoke torsion tests have been performed on a screw driven mechanical system, a fast hydraulic Instron machine and a Campbell split Hopkinson torsion bar, equipped with high speed photographic equipment. Observations have provided the strain rate dependence and the relation of pure shear failure at quasi-static and high strain rates. The quasi-static shear constitutive relationships including shear modulus, yield stress and failure strain of both alloys are compared at the location of failure initiation, using a bespoke four camera system. The Ti3Al2.5V alloy presents lower shear flow stress and strain rate sensitivity with higher ductility, as opposed to the Ti6Al4V alloy with limited plastic deformation capacity. Associated with modest estimated overall temperature rise until final collapse of the specimen, both ductile Ti3Al2.5V alloy and brittle Ti6Al4V alloy fail by adiabatic shear banding at high strain rates. This is different from the void growth induced failure at medium strain rate with mild temperature rise and at quasi-isothermal condition. The present results show a general description of brittle and ductile alloys in engineering design. Likewise, this study will guide the characterization of pure shear flow and failure for current and future developed impact resistant alloys.
