Hot workability of Ti-6Al-4V has been investigated by means of hot compression tests carried out in the 880-950°C temperature range and 1-50 s-1 strain rate range. The effect of microstructural characteristics of the deformed specimens have been studied and correlated with the test temperature, total strain and strain rate. A constitutive equation for the flow stress has been defined and the test conditions for a homogeneous deformation evaluated. The machine employed for testing allowed to reach very high strain rates by means of a uniform compression for long strains (until 0.9), whereas data extracted from the scientific literature are significantly limited in comparison. In this way, a higher accuracy could be obtained in material behaviour modelling for forging process simulation.

Abstract
Hot workability of Ti-6Al-4V has been investigated by means of hot compression tests carried out in the 880-950°C temperature range and 1-50 s-1 strain rate range. The effect of microstructural characteristics of the deformed specimens have been studied and correlated with the test temperature, total strain and strain rate. A constitutive equation for the flow stress has been defined and the test conditions for a homogeneous deformation evaluated. The machine employed for testing allowed to reach very high strain rates by means of a uniform compression for long strains (until 0.9), whereas data extracted from the scientific literature are significantly limited in comparison. In this way, a higher accuracy could be obtained in material behaviour modelling for forging process simulation.Pubblicazioni consigliate
