Description
Summary:The present study is to systematically investigate the role of titanium carbides on microstructural evolution of a burn resistant titanium alloy Ti-35V-15Cr-0.3Si-0.1C, especially on DRX and its kinetics under different deforming conditions during hot compression. First, a particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) phenomenon is found responsible for the pervasive dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in the material, in which DRX grains (or subgrains) prefer to form in the vicinity of titanium carbides (TiCx). And the morphology and distribution of TiCx can be altered by processing, which means the number of potential nuclei and the resultant recrystallization may be controlled by controlling the working process. Second, it is found that DRX fraction and DRX (sub) grain size are all deforming parameters (deformation temperature, strain and strain rate) dependent, and DRX kinetics is investigated by quantitative metallography analysis. The kinetics for DRX initiated by PSN in the present material follows the Avrami equation, which is consistent with the conventional DRX kinetics. The difference for this alloy is that only a small critical strain (
