Abstract
The influence of temperature on the planar and normal anisotropy parameters (ΔR andR, respectively) for mill annealed, duplex annealed, and cross rolled Ti-6A1-4V plate was investigated from 25 to 704°C (77 to 1300°F). Both parameters were assessed in terms of the plastic strain ratio (R), ratio of width to thickness strain at maximum load (~0.065 longitudinal strain) in tensile specimens oriented at 0, 45, and 90 deg to the rolling direction, and correlated with texture and microstructure. With increasing temperature, plates characterized by alpha deformation type basal plane textures exhibited significantly larger anisotropy variations than plate with a beta transformation type texture. This behavior was related to the degree of textural randomness and to a thermally induced transition in primary deformation mode from twinning to slip. Depending on texture, the results strongly suggest that working temperature may be utilized advantageously to alter the plastic anisotropy of Ti-6A1-4V plate for improved formability in a given fabrication operation.
