Abstract
The forging and rolling behavior of binary Ti-48Al and ternary Ti-48Al-2Cr (at-%) on laboratory and industrial scale is investigated. Arc-melted and cast ingots are used for forging operations. In order to enable the determination of optimized forging and rolling conditions the plastic flow behavior was examined for low (< 10−2 s−1) and high (1 s−1) deformation rates.
Forging under near-isothermal conditions was first performed on laboratory scale and upscaled as non-isothermal forging to pancakes of about 50 kg. Rolling tests on forged material are described. This paper presents results of microstructural examinations of forged ingots, rolled and annealed sheets and mechanical properties of sheet material under tensile test conditions.
