摘要

The microstructure evolution in VT6 alloy during multiple forging and subsequent isothermal rolling at a temperature of 560 °C is studied. The combined treatment resulted in the formation of an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure in alloy which made it possible to implement the effect of low-temperature superplasticity (LTSP). The deformation relief formed on the gauge part of UFG samples at the stage of a steady-state LTSP flow is analyzed. It is established that LTSP at 650 °C is carried out by cooperative grain-boundary sliding. UFG alloy was used to study the peculiarities of metal-matrix composite manufacturing according to the scheme “foil–fiber–foil” by pressing in the LTSP mode. Findings testify that selected and justified parameters of isostatic pressing of Ti-B composite under LTSP conditions provide excellent bonding of the matrix material layers smoothly filling the gaps between the fibers and forming reliable connection of the matrix and fibers.
