Abstract
The semi-solid deformation behavior of Ti14 was investigated using compression tests at deformation temperatures between 1 273 and 1 423 K with strain rate of 5×10−2 s−1. Moreover, the fraction solid at different temperatures was also measured by image analysis. The results showed that the deformation temperature had strong effects on the flow stress, and the stress increased with the decrease of deformation temperature. The maximum stress depended greatly on the fraction solid, and a sharp decrease in stress occurred at a solid fraction between 0.94 and 0.98 (temperature from 1 323 to 1 373 K). This decrease was related to the decrease in the amount of solid bridges between grains. Because of the partial solid/liquid segregation during deformation, the experimental strain rates were much lower than those calculated by the flow of liquid incorporating solid particles, which suggested that the main deformation mechanism between 1 323 and 1 373 K was still plastic deformation of solid particles.
