Abstract

In this work, a finite element method (FEM) model for predicting dynamic globularization of Ti-17 titanium alloy is established. For obtaining the microstructure evolution during dynamic globularization under varying processing parameters, isothermal hot compression tests and quantitative metallographic analysis were conducted on Ti-17 titanium alloy with initial lamellar microstructure. The prediction model, which quantitatively described the non-linear relationship between the dynamic globularization fraction and the deformation strain, temperature, and strain rate, was developed on the basis of the Avrami equation. Then the developed model was incorporated into DEFORM software as a user subroutine. Finally, the large-sized step-shaped workpiece was isothermally forged and corresponding FEM simulation was conducted to verify the reliability and accuracy of the integrated FEM model. The reasonable coincidence of the predicted results with experimental ones indicated that the established FEM model provides an easy and a practical method to predict dynamic globularization for Ti-17 titanium alloy with complex shape.
