The Effects of Geometry Size and Initial Microstructure on Deformation Behavior of Electrically-Assisted Micro-Compression in Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
In this study, electrically-assisted micro-compression (EAMC) tests were conducted for cylindrical specimens of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with four geometric sizes and three initial microstructures. The result showed that the specimen temperature nonlinearly increased with the square of current density. The q...

description | In this study, electrically-assisted micro-compression (EAMC) tests were conducted for cylindrical specimens of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with four geometric sizes and three initial microstructures. The result showed that the specimen temperature nonlinearly increased with the square of current density. The quasi-static heat equilibrium equation was established to quantify the effects of the scale factor on the Joule heat temperature. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the Joule temperature scale effect had a greater effect on the flow stress than the sample size effect for specimens of different dimensions. It was noted that the 0.5 mm diameter sample displayed abnormal deformation behavior, which was related to surface oxidation leading a brittle surface layer. By comparison of the microstructures, it was found that the α→β phase transformation occured below the β transus temperature, which was attributed to the local Joule heat effect and the scattering of drift electrons during EAMC. Furthermore, the flow curves showed a strong dependence of the strength and ductility on the initial microstructure. The widmannstatten microstructure exhibited higher strength, smaller hardening rate and more easy flow localization compared with basket-weave microstructures, which was attributed to the low β phase content and narrow interlamellar spacing of α lamellae grains in the widmannstatten microstructure. |
