Superplasticity of a Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V-0.5Mo Intermetallic Alloy

Superplastic properties and microstructural evolution of a Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V-0.5Mo (at. pct)intermetallic alloy were studied. Optimum superplastic properties were obtained for temperatures in the interval 960°C＜ T＜980°C. The apparent activation energy in the superplastic regime was determined and the deformation mechanism was also discussed. Based on the studies, a curve panel with three sheets sandwich structure was fabricated successfully. The microstructures corresponding to different strain in the part were also studied.
