The flow behavior and microstructure change of the Ti-55511 alloy are investigated by thermal compression experiments with stepped strain rates. The phase transformation features, the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of the β matrix, the dynamic spheroidization mechanism of the lamellar α phase and the evolution of the β sub-grain size are quantitatively analyzed. A unified constitutive model is constructed to characterize the hot deformation features of the Ti-55511 alloy. In the established model, the work hardening effect is taken into account by involving the coupled effects of the equiaxed and lamellar α phases, as well as β substructures. The dynamic softening mechanisms including the dynamic recovery (DRV), DRX and dynamic spheroidization mechanisms are also considered. The material parameters are optimized by the multi-objective algorithm in the MATLAB toolbox. The consistency between the predicted and experimental data indicates that the developed unified model can accurately describe the flow features and microstructure evolution of the hot compressed Ti-55511 at stepped strain rates.

The high-temperature compression characteristics of a Ti-55511 alloy are explored through adopting two-stage high-temperature compressed experiments with step-like strain rates. The evolving features of dislocation substructures over hot, compressed parameters are revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The experiment results suggest that the dislocations annihilation through the rearrangement/interaction of dislocations is aggravated with the increase in forming temperature.

Despite the significant potential advantages of processing Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-1Cr-1Fe alloy (Ti-55511) using Electron Beam Melting (PBF-EB/M), when compared to conventional manufacturing technologies, the resulting internal defects are an important characteristic of such additive technologies and can highly decrease mechanical properties. One of the most dangerous defects formed during metal additive manufacturing processes are material discontinuities such as a lack of fusion. Defects of this type, due to their "flat" nature, are difficult to characterize.

The globularization of the lamellar α phase by thermomechanical processing and subsequent annealing contributes to achieving the well-balanced strength and plasticity of titanium alloys. A high-throughput experimental method, wedge-shaped hot-rolling, was designed to obtain samples with gradient true strain distribution of 0~1.10.

In this work, the anisotropic microstructure and mechanical properties of selective laser melted (SLMed) Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-1Cr-1Fe (Ti-55511) alloy before and after aging treatment are investigated. Owing to the unique thermal gradient, the prior columnar β grains with {001} texture component grow in the building direction, and the mechanical properties of the as-fabricated Ti-55511 alloy exhibit slight anisotropy. Aging treatment creates uniform precipitation of the α phase at the boundaries as well as the interior of β grains.
