Book Description
The present work attempts to establish a unified path model for characterization as well as prediction of microstructure evolution in terms of texture and micro-texture, in commercially pure titanium that has undergone thermo-mechanical processing. Two deformation temperatures, room temperature (cold rolling) and 260C (warm rolling), and five different deformation levels of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 95% were used in the present investigation. In this report only the experimental results of texture analysis is presented. The modeling of processing path model, texture evolution and the experimental results for other temperature ranges will be presented elsewhere.

Book Description
The development of crystallographic texture, the preferred orientation of grains in a polycrystalline aggregate, during thermomechanical processing (TMP) can play an important role with regard to the secondary-forming response (e.g., deep drawing of sheet) and service performance (e.g., strength, elastic modulus, ductility, fracture toughness) of metallic materials. Crystallographic texture, or simply texture for succinctness, may arise as a result of large-strain deformation, dynamic/static recrystallization, grain growth, or phase transformation. A second form of anisotropy, mechanical texturing or mechanical fibering, refers to the alignment of microstructure, inclusions, etc., during deformation processes and may also affect mechanical properties such as ductility and fracture toughness. This latter form of texture is not discussed in the present article.

Book Description
Beta titanium alloys form one of the most versatile classes of materials with respect to processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties. Owing to their body centered cubic structure, [beta] titanium alloys offer an attractive alternative to the [alpha]+[beta] and [alpha] alloys as they usually possess higher specific strengths, better heat treat ability, deep hardening properties, and lower processing temperatures. However, beta titanium alloys are very sensitive to deformation parameters and may produce quite different microstructures and further various mechanical properties. It is necessary to explore the effect of deformation parameters on the microstructure evolution, including testing temperature, strain rate and strain.Texture introduced by deformation may produce a strong anisotropy of mechanical and other properties, and can also lead to the localization of these properties. Therefore, in order to make use of the advantages of [beta] titanium alloys, we must also understand the evolution of texture.The aim of this project is to reveal the deformation mechanisms and the evolution of texture during hot deformation in [beta] titanium based on compression tests, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and texture evolution by Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and x-ray texture observation.The microstructure, texture and mechanical response of forged Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al plates were investigated. Forged plates of as-received Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloy features fine [alpha] phase in large [beta] grains. Yield locus tests were performed which confirmed that [beta] phase {001} 110 texture resulted in lower mechanical anisotropy in the forged plate. The relationship between [alpha] phase and [beta] matrix texture was characterized by EBSD. The Burgers relationship is observed between these two phases in the as-received state, and this is preserved from the forging process and following 760 °C heat treatment. After further heat treatment at 820 °C, both [beta] phase and [alpha] phase form recrystallization textures and the Burgers relationship is no longer obvious. Furthermore, through thickness texture inhomogeneity was studied in the as-received plate. A rotated cube texture is widely spread at the surface, and more intense at quarter thickness and center. At the surface there is a tendency to form the {111} 112 recrystallization texture while in the quarter thickness and center, the restoration mode is mainly recovery.Following solution treatment in single [beta] phase field, deformation in [alpha]+[beta] phase field was performed, which presented a considerable effect on [alpha] phase morphologies. The microstructure of [alpha] phase is basically an evolution of lamellar [alpha] breaking up into shorter lamellar and coarsening into globular morphologies. Dynamic recovery is the main restoration mechanism for [beta] phase. The dominant orientations of beta phase include a strong rotated cube texture and weak 111 orientations parallel to compression direction. The orientation relationship between [alpha] phase and [beta] matrix follows the Burgers relationship and deformation in [alpha]+[beta] phase field does not destroy this orientation relationship.Deformation at above [beta] transus temperature leads to strong 001 and weak 111 textures. With increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, the 001 texture gets strengthened gradually and 111 orientations show weakening tendency. The volume fractions of dynamic recrystallization are lower than 10% under all the deformation conditions in the single [beta] phase field, showing the main dynamic restoration mechanism is also dynamic recovery at above [beta] transus temperature tested in this thesis. Moreover, deformation parameters show significant effects on microstructure evolution. At low strain rate, dislocation annihilation and dynamic recovery are very effective, resulting in significantly larger subgrain size and less pancaked original grains. Besides dynamic recovery, continuous dynamic recrystallization by progressive lattice rotation is also observed, which occurs at high strain rate and low temperature. Geometric dynamic recrystallization hardly occurs, as HAGB spacing is much larger than the subgrain size at the highest strain of 0.9. Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization is rarely observed in the sing [beta] phase field in Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al.

Book Description
Manufacturing titanium alloys with simultaneous improvement in strength and ductility poses a challenge which exceeds that of purely cubic metals. Various thermal and thermomechanical strategies have been proposed to regulate the geometrical arrangement of alpha + beta phases and texture of the alpha phase in an effort to impart the microstructure with concurrent strengthening and toughening. This study explores two potential methods of achieving mechanical enhancement. The first involves the substitution of molybdenum for a portion of vanadium in Ti-64 (alpha + beta, 6.0 Al, 4.0 V weight %, balance Ti), thereby creating a new alloy, termed Ti-639 (alpha + beta, 6.5 Al, 1.7 Mo, 1.7 V, 0.3C, 0.19O, 0.3 Si weight %, balance Ti). Electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)and transmission electron microscopy are used to study the preservation of the as-received microstructure of TIMETAL 639, owing to the low diffusivity of molybdenum. EBSD texture analysis of solution heat treated TIMETAL 639 shows a marked effect of beta phase on the recrystallization of new globular alpha grains within preexistent colonies, leading to the generation of a distinct depleted bimodal microstructure. Quasi-static compression mechanical testing indicates a measurable increase in mechanical response of the depleted bimodal microstructure,about 90MPa higheryield, with a 6% higher strain at failure, when compared to identically heat treated Ti-64 samples. This alloy design strategy enhances the performance of alpha + beta titanium alloys while foregoing additional prolonged aging heat treatments associated with Ti-64.The second method involves a processing strategy to impart near-net shape structureswith ultra-fine grain microstructures without resorting to severe mechanical deformation. The proposed strategy relies on utilizing a cyclic rapid heat treatment (CRHT) process to generate refined martensitic microstructures in aerospace grade Ti-64. Analysis of resultant microstructures using EBSDreveals trends in microstructure refinement during successive CRHT iterations. For the given heat treatment parameters, three CRHT cycles yielded an optimum microstructure refinement, by effectively harnessing discontinuous dynamic recrystallization,while diminishing the occurrence of dynamic recovery and continuous dynamic recrystallization.
