Resumo |
In the current study, the effect of deformation mode (i.e., symmetric vs asymmetric rolling) on the extent of grain refinement and texture development in Ti-6Al-4V was examined through warm rolling of a martensitic starting microstructure. During rolling, the initial martensitic lath structure was progressively fragmented, primarily through continuous dynamic recrystallization. This eventually led to an ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure composed of equiaxed grains with a mean size of 180 to 230 nm, mostly surrounded by high-angle grain boundaries. Depending on the rolling reduction and deformation mode (symmetric and asymmetric), the rolled specimens displayed different layer morphologies throughout the specimen thickness: a fully UFG surface layer, a partial UFG transition layer, and a partially fragmented lath interior layer. Due to a higher level of effective strain and continuous rotation of the principle axis, asymmetric rolling resulted in a greater extent of grain refinement compared with symmetric rolling at a given thermomechanical condition. A bulk UFG structure was successfully obtained using 70 pct asymmetric rolling. In addition, the rolling texture exhibited various characteristics throughout the thickness due to a different combination of shear and compressive strains. Principally, the basal texture component was displaced from the normal toward rolling direction during asymmetric rolling, differing from the symmetric rolling textures. |
