Microstructural Variation and Evaluation of Formability According to High-Temperature Compression Conditions of AMS4928 Alloy

Ti-6Al-4V alloys are used in various industrial fields such as aircraft parts due to its excellent specific strength and mechanical properties. A high-temperature forming technology has been applied because it is difficult to process complex shapes. During the high-temperature forming process, the microstructure changes significantly due to temperature, strain rate, reduction ratio, and other process variables, and mechanical properties of high-temperature molded products are changed accordingly. Therefore, in this study, a high-temperature compression test was performed on AMS4928, which is one of Ti-6Al-4V alloys used as a material for aircraft parts, and the severe plastic deformation and dead zone were confirmed in connection with the processing map. The changes in microstructure were comparatively analyzed. In addition, it was confirmed that there was a difference in formability due to grain refinement by dynamic recrystallization, and optimal high-temperature forming conditions were derived by linking and analyzing the formability and microstructural factors.
