Abstract
The plastic flow of the commercial α-alloy Ti 5A1-2.5 Sn (0.5 at. pct Oeq) of 11 to 19 μm grain size was investigated in tension over the temperature range of 600 to 117.3 K (CPH structure) and strain rates of 3x10-5 to 3 per s employing both constant strain rate and strain rate cycling tests. Dynamic strain aging (due to substitutional solutes) occurred in the temperature range of 600 to 850 K (0.31 to 0.44T m)with an activation energy of 22.5 KcalJmole (94.1 KjJmol) derived from the start of serrations in the stress-strain curves. At temperatures above 850 K (0.46 to 0.60T m), the deformation could be described by Dorn’s general equation for diffusion controlled mechanisms with an activation energy of 50 KcalJmole (209 KJJmol).
