- Abstract
The deformation mechanism, crack initiation, propagation and fracture behavior of a new near-α titanium alloy Ti80 (Ti-6Al-3Nb-2Zr-1Mo) with a bimodal microstructure consisting of primary α (αp) grains and transformed β (βtrans) matrix is systematically investigated by in situ tensile testing in SEM. The results show that αp preferentially undergoes plastic deformation (single slip) in the early stage of deformation. As the deformation continues, the crack nucleates in the hard-to-deform region near the U-shaped notch, and then advances through αp to form small cracks, which tend to initiate at the αp/βtrans interface and slip bands region. However, slip transfer occurs between some αp and adjacent βtrans, and multi-slip or cross-slip is generated in αp, which plays a role in coordinating the inhomogeneity of local plastic deformation and delaying crack initiation. In the crack propagation stage, the main crack and microcracks are connected to promote crack growth. The crack tends to propagate along the αp/βtrans interface or slip bands inside αp. The αp boundaries play the role of deflecting the crack propagation direction. However, a relatively flat crack path is formed from a macroscopic point of view due to the small particle size of αp.
