Experiments were conducted on the material with (α + β) phases atdeformation temperatures of 800, 860, 920, and 950℃, strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 1, and 50 s^(-1),and height direction reductions of 30%, 40%, and 50%. After reaching a peak value near 920℃, thegrain size and volume fraction decrease with further increase of deformation temperature. The strainrate affects the morphologies and grain size of α phase of the TC6 titanium alloy. At a lowerstrain rate, the effect of the strain rate on the volume fraction is greater than that at a higherstrain rate under the experimental conditions. The effects of the strain rate on the microstructurealso result from deformation heating. The grain size of the α phase increases with an increase inheight direction reduction after an early drop. The effect of height direction reduction on thevolume fraction is similar to that of the grain size. All of the optical micrographs andquantitative metallography show that deformation process parameters affect the microstructure duringhot forming of the TC6 alloy, and a correlation between the temperature, strain, and strain rateappears to be a significant fuzzy characteristic.展开更多
