Effect of β Annealing and near β Zone Hot Deformation on the Microstructure and Texture of TC18 Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Forged TC18 alloy billets with strong <100> texture were selected to investigate the effects of β annealing and near β zone hot deformation on the microstructure and texture by means of optical microscopy, XRD and EBSD techniques. The results showed that the original <100> fiber texture can’t be eliminated through β annealing although completed static recrystallization happened during annealing. After deforming in near β phase zone, the microstructures were composed of elongated β grains. A lot of small angle boundaries were observed near the original β grain boundaries, indicating that dynamic recovery controlled the deformation. Dynamic recrystallization grains can only be seen at the original β grain boundary at the strain of 50%. <100>//TD and <111>//TD texture were generated during the near β zone hot deformation. Annealing at dual phase zone after hot deformation can effectively reduce the proportion of grains with <111> orientation, but the <100>//TD texture still existed.
