Semi-stable β-titanium (Ti-3873) Ti-3Al-8Mo-7V-3Cr alloy with excellent workability properties has been designed based on high demanded aircraft Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr alloy according to semi-experimental d-electron approach. The aim of the present research is to investigate the deformation behavior of Ti-3873 alloy via warm compression test. For this purpose, compression test has been conducted in the temperature range of 650-850 °C and strain rates of 0.001,0.1 and 1, 1 s-1 at dual phase α/β and single phase β regions. The test was continued up to plastic strain of 0.7. For establishing the relationship between the microstructure and flow behavior, the initial and subsequent microstructure of the specimens after warm deformation was studied via optical and scanning electron microscopes. The microstructural evaluation and flow curves revealed that dynamic recovery and partial continuous dynamic recrystallization were the dominant restoration mechanisms. The results showed that softening has been increased in the temperature range of 800-850 °C and strain of 0.001 and 0.1 s-1 which is confirmed by the activation energy calculated from the sinus hyperbolic equation. The activation energy for dual phase α/β and single phase β regions are determines as 429 kJ/mol and 353 kJ/mol, respectively. The higher value of activation energy for α/β dual phase region is attributed to dynamic globularization of α lamellas. The preferable regions for hot workability of the alloy were achieved at the temperature range of 800-850 °C and strain rate of 0.01-0.001 s-1 corresponding to the peak efficiency of 39% in the processing map.

The aim of this research is to study the effect of fine grain structure on the mechanical and superplastic properties of cold worked SP700 alloy. Thickness reductions of 20%, 40%, and 60%. were applied during cold rolling. Then the specimens were annealed at 700°C, 750°C, and 800°C for 40 minutes. The tensile test was applied at 25, 700oC, 750°C, and 800°C with strain rates of 0.01s-1, 0.005s-1 and 0.001s-1. The SEM and OM were used to analyze the specimens' microstructures. The alloy cold rolled to 40% reduction and annealed at 700°C exhibited a maximum elongation of 1380% at a stress level of 30 MPa and a strain rate of 0.005 s-1 at 700°C. Microstructural evlauation showed that during the superplastic test, dynamic recrystallization took place. The strain rate sensitivity varied in the range of 0.32 to 0.46. Fundamental equations were also used to determine the mechanism of superplasticity. The activation energy is obtained as 385 kJ.mol-1. Results validated that the Rachinger sliding is the main superplastic mechanism in the SP700 alloy.

Hot compression test was carried out on extruded AZ63 magnesium alloy samples to investigation of the effect of thermomechanical parameters on AZ63 magnesium alloy texture behavior. At first, samples have been machined on two extruded direction (ED) and normal direction (ND). Then, hot compression test performed at 250 °C and strain rates of 0.01 s-1 and 1 s-1 and various strain. Microstructural investigation and texture evolution reveal that tensile twinning leading to basal texture improvement in roll direction (RD=ED) and compressive twinning causes changing texture align transverse direction (TD) at primarily strain during hot compression test. Also, observation of Texture evolution by pole figures indicate that dynamic recrystallization reduces basal texture intensity in ND samples at high strains.

In order to investigation of dynamic and static restoration of SP-700 alloy, in this study continuous and interrupted hot torsion tests carried out at 850 and 1000ºC at different pass-strains and inter-pass times. The dominant mechanism in hot deformation at 1000°C is dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and consequently the entire microstructure comprises equiaxed grains, whereas at 850°C serration and tanglement of the grain boundaries were observed. Nevertheless, the microstructure of sample twisted at 850°C, indicates the occurrence of DRX and the formation of very fine grains. The mechanism of the formation of recrystallized grains in the vicinity of grain boundaries and triple points is bulging. With an increase in pass-strain (ε=0.5) at 1000°C, due to the increase in driving force for nucleation and growth of new grains, the kinetics of static restoration increases. In fact, at 850°C, in addition to static restoration there is another factor contributing in fractional softening which is β to α phase transformation.
