Abstract

In order to investigate evolution of adiabatic shear bands in typical microstructure (bimodal and lamellar microstructures) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the split Hopkinson press bar (SHPB) was used to impact hat-shaped specimens, and three impact bars of different length were used to control the loading time (50, 60 and 80μs). SEM and TEM were carried out to observe patterns of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) in the specimens after impacting. The results showed that thickness of ASBs increased with the increase of loading time, and with the increase of loading time, evolution of ASBs in bimodal and lamellar microstructure was quite different. In lamellar microstructure, equiaxed structure was found in the specimen under the loading time of 80μs, which might indicate that dynamic recrystallization happened. It led the thickness of ASB in lamellar microstructure thicker than that in bimodal microstructure.
