Abstract
Simulated multipass deformation experiments were carried out via torsion testing on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the two-phase region under both isothermal and continuous cooling conditions. Flow softening was observed during the isothermal multipass deformation tests as indicated by the evolution of the mean flow stress (MFS). The MFS values increased with interpass time from 2â¯s to 32â¯s. Using BSE-SEM characterization techniques, dynamic phase transformation (alpha to beta) and coarsening of the alpha phase took place. The quantitative results indicate that the alpha phase transforms into beta during straining, but it retransforms statically into alpha by amounts that increase with interpass time. The flow softening observed is the net result of softening by dynamic transformation and hardening by reverse transformation.
