Experimental study on dynamic recrystallization of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V at different strain rates

The dynamic recrystallization condition and law of Ti6Al4V alloy at all strain rates are investigated through thermal processing simulation test, split Hopkinson compression bar test and milling test. The theoretical calculation of the experimental results and the microstructure observation showed that the dynamic recrystallization become possible under the conditions of high strain rate and low strain rate. The model uses two expressions to describe the material constitutive characteristics of different critical strain value intervals; the subprogram written in Fortran language is imported into AdvantEdge FEM software, and the finite element analysis of John-Cook constitutive and improved constitutive is carried out respectively. The comparative study of simulation proves that the improved constitutive equation is closer to the high temperature and high impact environment of high-speed cutting of titanium alloy, which has certain guiding significance for high-speed cutting of titanium alloy.
