Abstract

Determining critical stresses for different slip systems is one of the most important parts in crystal plasticity modeling of anisotropy. However, the task of finding individual critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for every single slip system, if not impossible, is formidable and a delicate one especially if the microstructure is very complex. Slip family-based, mechanism-based and morphology-based (e.g., phase interface) slip systems classification and hence determining CRSS consistent with experimental measurements are often used in crystal plasticity. In this work, a novel approach to determining CRSS at high homologous temperature has been proposed by crystal plasticity modeling of rate-dependent anisotropy. Two-internal-variable-based phenomenological crystal viscoplasticity model is adopted for simulating isothermal, two-phase, single-crystal-like Al-rich lamellar Ti–61.8at.%Al binary alloy at high-temperature compression state (\(1050\,^\circ \hbox {C}\)) by employing finite strain and finite rotation framework. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first micromechanical modeling attempt with long-period superstructures. Conventional approaches related to CRSS estimation are also compared with the proposed one. Our material parameters are based on calibrating three different sets of compressive stain rate-controlled plasticity data taken from the loading of two different lamellar directions. It is revealed that the proposed approach works fine for rate-dependent anisotropy modeling, while other conventional approaches highly under- or overestimate available anisotropic experimental behavior of this alloy.
