The hierarchy of microstructure parameters affecting the tensile ductility in centrifugally cast and forged Ti-834 alloy during high temperature exposure in air

Ductility regression is the main concern in using Ti-834 titanium alloy at temperatures above 500 °C for aerospace applications. The reduction of ductility in titanium alloys at high temperatures is strongly correlated to the exposure time. In the current study the effect of prolonged exposure at 500 °C on the tensile ductility of two differently processed Ti-834 alloys was investigated. In order to simulate actual … Continue reading The hierarchy of microstructure parameters affecting the tensile ductility in centrifugally cast and forged Ti-834 alloy during high temperature exposure in air

Development of a high temperature flow stress model for AerMet 100 covering several orders of magnitude of strain rate

Constant strain rate, constant velocity and Hopkinson Pressure Bar compression tests were carried out on AerMet 100 martensitic steel between 1130 °C and 1250 °C spanning strain rates from 0.01 s−1 to 4000 s−1. The results were used to generate a predictive flow stress model over the entire range of test conditions. The effect of initial austenite grain size on flow stress was found to follow the Hall–Petch relationship. … Continue reading Development of a high temperature flow stress model for AerMet 100 covering several orders of magnitude of strain rate
