Abstract

In this study, the high-temperature deformation behaviour of a TC17 titanium alloy was investigated by isothermal hot compression tests in a wide range of temperatures (973–1223 K) and strain rates (0.001–10 s−1). Then, the constitutive equations of different phase regimes (α + β and single β phases) were developed on the basis of experimental stress-strain data. The influence of the strain has been incorporated in the constitutive equation by considering its effect on different material constants for the TC17 titanium alloy. Furthermore, the predictability of the developed constitutive equation was verified by the correlation coefficient and average absolute relative error. The results indicated that the obtained constitutive equations could predict the high-temperature flow stress of a TC17 titanium alloy with good correlation and generalization.

Introduction

The TC17 (Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr) titanium alloy, as a “beta-rich” α + β titanium alloy, has an attractive combination of characteristics including high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, superior fracture toughness and deep hardenability, which make it an ideal candidate material for fan blades and compressor disks in aircraft engines [1]. This alloy has strength properties and creep resistance that are superior to those of Ti-6Al-4V alloys at the ultimate working temperature [2]. Therefore, considerable attention has been given in the scientific literature to investigations of the deformation behaviour of TC17 titanium alloys [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Moreover, the deformation behaviour of TC17 titanium alloys is sensitive to processing parameters such as deformation temperature and strain rate. Therefore, a thorough study regarding the high-temperature flow behaviour of TC17 titanium alloys is essential to properly choose the deformation parameters. However, the flow stress behaviour at high temperatures is very complex because the work hardening, dynamic softening (DS), dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) are significantly influenced by the deformation parameters [8]. An effective method to describe flow behaviour of metal alloys is to develop suitable constitutive equations that can present the basic function between flow stress and processing parameters [9]. A considerable number of studies have been performed to propose a constitutive equation to predict the flow stress of various alloys [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15].

Over the past few years, several constitutive models have been proposed to characterize the flow behaviour of both metals and alloys [1, 16, 17]. Among these models, the Johnson Cook (JC) [18] and Zerilli-Armstrong (ZA) [19] models have been successfully incorporated into the Finite Element (FE) to describe the thermal deformation behaviour of the alloy due to the small number of material constants involved and the small number of experiments required to evaluate the material constants. In addition, the sinusoidal hyperbola in the Arrhenius equation has been widely used to predict the high-temperature flow behaviour of the material [20, 21, 22, 23]. Liang et al. [24] investigated the high-temperature compression and deformation behaviour of a powder metallurgy titanium alloy with a constitutive equation that considered strain compensation at a high temperature. The results show that the improved constitutive equation with a high temperature and a low strain rate has good predictability. Quan et al. [25] studied the DRX behaviour of the heat-resistant alloy by regression analysis of the modified hyperbolic sine equation using an isothermal upsetting experiment.

Wang et al. [26] studied the dynamic globalization kinetics of lamellar microstructures during the hot working of a Ti17 alloy using isothermal compression tests. Liu et al. [1] investigated the constitutive model of a Ti17 titanium alloy with lamellar-type initial microstructure during hot deformation based on an orthogonal analysis. Ma et al. [27] used ANN and regression models to predict the flow stress of the lamellar initial microstructures of Ti17 titanium alloys in α and β phase fields during thermal deformation. Wang et al. [28] characterized the microstructure of the adiabatic shearing band in a Ti17 alloy at high strain rates and elevated temperatures. Luo et al. [29] studied the flow behaviour and processing maps during the isothermal compression of a Ti17 alloy. Ma et al. [30] investigated the unsteady flow behaviour of a Ti17 alloy in an α + β phase field using a processing map. However, there are few involve the development of some constitutive equations to describe the hot deformation behaviour of the TC17 titanium alloys. Moreover, fewer research studies have focused on the model validation of Ti17 alloys at high temperatures and strain rates. Therefore, the main purpose of this investigation is to establish a suitable constitutive equation to predict the evaluated temperature flow stress of TC17 titanium alloys. To achieve this purpose in the current research, hot isothermal compression tests were carried out in a wide temperature range of 973–1223 K and a strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1. Afterwards, the experimental stress-strain data were used to establish the constitutive equation. Finally, the developed constitutive equations were validated by the correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE).

Experimental procedure

A micrograph of the TC17 titanium alloy that was employed in this work is shown in Figure 1. The chemical composition of the TC17 titanium alloy is provided in Table 1. From this figure, the results indicate that the microstructure of the as-received TC17 titanium alloy consists of an equiaxed primary α phase (hexagonal close-packed) and an intergranular β phase (body-centred cubic).

The alloy was machined into cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 15 mm so that it had an excellent (N6 grade) surface for compression testing to eliminate any surface effects on the flow behaviour. To obtain a heat balance, each specimen was heated to the deformation temperature at a rate of 10K/s and held for 5 min at isothermal conditions prior to isothermal compression for eliminating thermal gradients. Then, isothermal compression tests were carried out on a Gleeble-3500 thermal mechanical simulator at strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 s−1 and deformation temperatures of 973, 1023, 1073, 1123, 1183 and 1223K. The final deformation degree was 60%, which is similar to that of Ma et al. [30] After deformation, the specimens were quenched in water, and the strain-stress curves were recorded automatically in isothermal compression. The β transus temperature of the TC17 titanium alloy is approximately 1168K. Therefore, four and two temperatures were chosen in the α + β and single β phase regions, respectively.

Results and discussion

Flow stress

The true stress-strain curves that were obtained from the hot compression tests of the TC17 titanium alloy are shown in Figure 2. These data show that the deformation temperature and strain rate influence the flow stress. The flow stress increases with an increase in the strain rate at a certain temperature and decreases monotonically with an increase in the deformation temperature at a particular strain rate. Moreover, the results in Figure 2 indicate that the TC17 titanium alloy shows obvious thermal softening and strain rate hardening. At the initial stage of deformation, the flow stress rapidly increases with an increase in strain because the dislocation generation, multiplication and intersect are significant with an increase in deformation. Thereafter, with an increase in deformation, the flow stress reaches a peak at a critical strain. At lower deformation temperatures, such as 973, 1023 and 1073K, the flow stress then continuously decreases to a steady value owing to DS, showing a noticeable softening phenomenon. However, above the β rotor temperature (1173K and 1223K), the flow stress first exhibits a decrease and then increases to a stable flow behaviour (Figure 2(e) and (f)). A similar phenomenon has also been reported for the TC18 alloy [31].

Constitutive equation

The Arrhenius constitutive equation has been widely used to represent the relationship between the flow stress and strain rate as well as deformation temperatures. The effects of strain rate and deformation temperature on the metal flow stress can be expressed by the Zener-Holloman parameter (Z) in an exponent type equation as follows:

(1)Z=ε˙exp(QRT)
(2)ε˙=AF(σ)exp(QRT)
(3)F(σ)={σn'ασ<0.8exp(βσ)ασ>1.2[sinh(ασ)]nforallσ

where ε˙ is the strain rate (s−1), R is the universal gas constant (8.31 J· mol−1· K−1), T is the absolute temperature (K), and Q is the activation energy of hot deformation (J· mol−1). A, n,β, α and n are the materials constants, and α=β/n.

At a certain deformation temperature for both lower and higher stress levels, substituting eqs (1) and (3) into eqs (2), (4) and (5) can be obtained as follows:

(4)ε˙=Bσn
(5)ε˙=Cexp(βσ)

where B and C are the material constants, which are independent of the deformed temperatures. Then, taking the logarithm of both sides of eqs (4) and (5), the following equations can be obtained:

(6)ln(σ)=1nln(ε˙)1nln(B)
(7)σ=1βln(ε˙)1βln(C)

Therefore, the values of n and β can be acquired by the slope of the lines in the ln(σ)-ln(ε˙) as well as σ-ln(ε˙) plots, as shown in Figure 3(a) and (b).

Figure 3:

Relationship between (a) ln(σ) and ln(ε˙) (b) σ and ln(ε˙) at the strain of 0.8.

In Figure 3, the slopes of the lines exhibit an obvious difference in the α + β and single β phases. Figure 4 shows the microstructures of the TC17 titanium alloy under deformation conditions of 1073 K 0.1 s−1 (Figure 4 (a)) and 1183 K 10 s−1 (Figure 4 (b)). When the deformation temperature was lower than the β transus temperature, the microstructure of the TC17 titanium alloy consisted of an α + β phase, as shown in Figure 4(a). When the deformation temperature was above the β transus temperature, the final microstructure only consisted of β grains after deformation, as shown in Figure 4(b). Therefore, the material constants should be calculated for the α + β and single β phases separately. As the flow stress began to reach a stable stage, the strain of 0.8 was taken as the example to introduce the solution process of the material constants. The mean values of the slopes were taken as the values of n and β that were estimated to be 4.9812 and 0.03625 MPa−1 for the α + β phase. Moreover, for the single β phase, the mean values of n and β were calculated to be 3.9341 and 0.05371 MPa−1, respectively. Therefore, the values of α were calculated to be 0.007278 for the α + β phase and 0.01367 for the single β phase.

For low as well as high stress levels, eq. (2) can be written as follows:

(8)ε˙=A[sinh(aσ)]nexp(QRT)

Then, taking the logarithm of both sides of eqs (8), (9) can be obtained:

(9)ln[sinh(ασ)]=lnε˙n+QnRTlnAn

For a particular temperature, differentiating eq. (10) gives the following:

(10)1n=dln[sinh(ασ)]d(lnε˙)

Therefore, the value of n can be obtained from the slopes of the lines of ln[sinh(ασ)]-lnε˙, as illustrated in Figure 5. The value of n is calculated by averaging the values of n at various deformation temperatures. Therefore, the values n for the α + β and single β phases were estimated to be 3.6592 and 2.8490, respectively.

Figure 5: Relationship between ln[sinh(ασ)] and ln(ε˙$\dot \varepsilon $) at the strain of 0.8.
Figure 5:

Relationship between ln[sinh(ασ)] and ln(ε˙) at the strain of 0.8.

For a given strain rate, differentiating eq. (9) yields the following:

(11)Q=Rndln[sinh(ασ)]d(1/T)

The values of Q for the α + β and single β phases can be acquired from the slopes in the plot of ln[sinh(aσ)]-1/T, as shown in Figure 6. The value of Q can be calculated by averaging the Q values at various strain rates. At a true strain of 0.8, the Q-values were determined to be 234.06 kJ/mol for the α + β phase and 154.02 kJ/mol for the single β phase. In previous research, Ma et al. [27] estimated that the activation energy at a strain of 0.7 was 320.422 kJ/mol for the α + β phase. Li et al. [32] inferred that the average value of the activation energy at a strain of 0.5 was 392.3 kJ/mol for the α + β phase. Li et al. [31] found that the average value of the activation energy was 187.25 kJ/mol for the β phase. The activation energy in this work is lower than those obtained by Ma et al. and Li et al. This phenomenon could be due to the initial microstructure and heat treatment conditions in the alloy studied [33]. Furthermore, the values of A at a certain strain can be derived from the intercept in Figure 5.

Therefore, taking α, n, Q and A into eq. (8), the constitutive equation of the TC17 titanium alloy can be obtained. However, the influence of strain on the flow stress has been neglected in eq. (8).Nevertheless, strain has an obvious influence on the flow stress, particularly at lower temperatures, as shown in Figure 2 (a) and (b). Moreover, the effect of strain on the material constants α, n, Q and lnA is significant over the entire strain range, as given in Figure 7. Therefore, the compensation of strain on the material constants should be considered to acquire an accurate constitutive equation. Clearly, the values of α tend to increase monotonically with an increase in strain for both the α + β and single β phases, as given in Figure 7(a). The n values decrease with an increase in strain in the α + β phase, whereas they decrease to the minimum value at a strain of 0.8 and then increase in the single β phase, as shown in Figure 7(b). The values of Q and lnA decrease monotonically with an increase in strain for both the α + β and single β phases, as illustrated in Figure 7 (c) and (d).

In this study, the influence of strain on the flow stress in the constitutive equations was incorporated by assuming that the material constants (α, n, Q and lnA) are a polynomial function of strain [34, 35]. The values of the material constants (α, n, Q and lnA) were evaluated in the strain range of 0.1 ~ 0.9 with an interval of 0.1. The order of the polynomial varied from 1 to 9. On the basis of the good fitting correlation and accuracy, a third-order polynomial was found to represent the influence of strain on α, Q and lnA for the α + β phase. A fifth-order polynomial was employed to express the effect of strain on n in the α + β phase and α as well as n in the single β phase, as shown in eq. (12). Meanwhile, a fourth-order polynomial was used to represent the influence of strain on Q and lnA for the single β phase. The values of polynomial fitting coefficients of α, n, Q and lnA of the TC17 titanium alloy for the α + β and single β phases are given in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.

Once the material constants are obtained, the flow stress at a certain strain can be predicted from following equation (considering the eqs (1) and (8)). The constitutive equation that relates the flow stress and Zener-Holloman parameter can be written as follows by using the expression of a hyperbolic sine function.

Verification of the developed constitutive equations

The obtained constitutive equations in consideration of strain were assessed by comparing the experimental and predicted flow stress, as shown in Figure 8. The predicted flow stress values from the developed constitutive equations can track the experimental data of the TC17 titanium alloy throughout the entire temperature range. Similar prediction accuracy has also been obtained in the single β phase region. Some variation between experimental and computed flow stress data can be observed only under some deformation conditions in the α + β phase region (Figure 8 (a) and (d)). Under some deformation conditions in the single β phase region (i. e. at 1183K in 1 s−1 and at 1223K in 1 s−1), there may be contradictions between experimental flow and calculated flow stress data (Figure 8 (e) and (f)). The main reason of the difference may contribute to the fact that the response of flow behavior of materials at high temperatures is highly nonlinear [36]. Many factors that affect flow stress are nonlinear, which makes the constitutive equation predict the flow stress is less accurate, and the application range is limited [37]. Possibly, the fitting of material constants leads to the variation between experimental and computed flow stress data. For example, experimental data in Figure 5 appear some deviation. Therefore, since the value of β is determined using eq. (7), some errors may be introduced and ultimately affect the accuracy of the constitutive equation. Further research needs to be done to draw a firm conclusion.

The predictability of the developed constitutive equations of the TC17 titanium alloy was further quantified in terms of standard statistical parameters such as the R and AARE, which are expressed as follows:

(14)R=i=1N(EiEˉ)(PiPˉ)i=1N(EiEˉ)2i=1N(PiPˉ)2
(15)AARE(%)=1Ni=1NEiPiEi×100

where E is the value of the experimental flow stress and P is the predicted flow stress value calculated by the developed constitutive equation. Eˉ and Pˉ are the mean values of E and P, respectively. N is the total number of data employed in this research. R is a commonly employed statistical parameter and can provide information regarding the strength of the linear relationship between the experimental and predicted data [38]. Sometimes, a higher value of R may not necessarily reflect better performance because the tendency of the equation may be biased towards higher or lower values [39]. However, the AARE was obtained from a term-by-term comparison of the relative error. Therefore, the AARE is an unbiased statistical parameter for determining the predictability of the equation [40]. Figure 9 provides the correlation between the experimental and predicted flow stress data from the developed constitutive equations. The findings in Figure 9 demonstrate that the values of R and AARE are 0.988 and 8.84%, respectively, in the α + β phase region and 0.997 and 5.56 %, respectively, in the single β phase region. These results reflect the good prediction capabilities of the proposed constitutive equation with the consideration of strain.

Conclusions

The high-temperature deformation behaviour of a TC17 titanium alloy was investigated by performing hot compression tests in the temperature range of 973–1223K and the strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1. Based on this study, the conclusions are presented as follows:

  1. The flow stress of the TC17 titanium alloy at a high temperature is significantly influenced by deformation temperature and strain rate. The flow stress decreases with an increasing deformation temperature and a decreasing strain rate. The strain influenced the flow stress in the α + β phase but had little effect in the single β phase.

  2. The influence of strain in the constitutive equations of the TC17 titanium alloy including the α + β and single β phases was incorporated by considering the effect of strain on the material constants α, n, Q and lnA. A third-order polynomial suitably represented the influence of strain on the material constants α, Q and lnA for the α + β phase. A fourth-order polynomial was observed to adequately express the influence of strain on Q and lnA for the single β phase, and a fifth-order polynomial was employed to express the effect of strain on n in the α + β phase and α as well as n in the single β phase with good correlation and generalization.

  3. The developed constitutive equation that compensates for strain can precisely predict the flow stress under most deformation conditions in both the α + β and single β phases. It is only under certain deformation conditions in the α + β phase that some deviations can be observed between the experimental and calculated flow stress data.

  4. The predictability of the developed constitutive equation was evaluated by the R and AARE. The values of R and AARE were found to be 0.988 and 8.84%, respectively, in the α + β phase and 0.997 and 5.56%, respectively, in the single β phase. The results reflected the good prediction capabilities of the proposed constitutive equations.
