Investigations on microstructure evolution of TA1 titanium alloy subjected to electromagnetic impact loading

In this work, the adiabatic shear band of TA1 titanium alloy subjected to electromagnetic impact loading was investigated. The formation of adiabatic shear band and microstructure evolution within it were revealed by microstructure characterizations. Deformation results showed an adiabatic shear band with the width of 10 mm located in shear deformation zone, and most deformations mainly concentrated in the narrow band. The compressive insta-bility and the hardness difference contributed to the formation of adiabatic shear band. Severe shear deformations led to high location density within the adiabatic shear band. A large amount of dislocations distributed in the form of dislocation cells and random dislocations. The rotational dynamic recrystallization mechanism caused that many dy-namic recrystallization grains with the size of 100–200 nm were found inside the adiabatic shear band. Adiabatic temperature rise and distortion energies stored by high dislocation densities provided sub-grain rotations with the driving forces.
