Microstructure after deformation(a)• 763°C: 0.001 s-1 and 10 s-1• Dynamic recovery• Geometric dynamic recrystallization at the
grain boundary markedly for 0.001 s-1• High angle grain boundaries become
closer, subgrain size depends on T,(b)• 843°C: 0.001 s-1 and 10 s-1• Subgrain structure formation decreases
with increasing strain rate• Misorientation within each grain increases
with increasing strain rate(c)• Small grains on the beta grain boundary
at high strain rates are due to recrystallization by lattice rotation
(d) • New small grains = recrystallized = blue• Grain consist of subgrains = red =

Processing maps
• Near beta alloy Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr (Ti55531) with a globular starting microstructure• Deformation tests carried out using a Gleeble®1500 machine • Beta transformation temperature: 803°C• Strain rates from 0.001 – 10 s-1 up to a true strain of 0.7 • Temperatures from 763 – 843°C controlled with a welded K-thermocouple• Argon atmosphere and air quenching• Lubricant: graphite and molybdenum foil between sample and anvil• EBSD measurements carried out for samples deformed in α/β- and β-field• Processing maps were implemented using Matlab

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
Processing maps of different metal alloys can be used to describe the deformation behaviour as a function of and σ, to optimize thermomechanicalprocessing parameters and to avoid defects in the products.• Processing maps consist of 2 superimposed maps: dissipation efficiency- (η) and instability- (κ) map• General model was defined by Prasad using dynamic material model [1], modified model developed by Murty and Rao [2]
• The η value is defined for both models as η = J/Jmax = 2J/P but calculated differently. In the modified model η = 2
• Instability parameter κ defined by Murty and Rao is given as: κ = 2m/η – 1 and predict instability by κ < 0
The aim of this work was to study the deformation behaviour of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr by means of compression tests, metallography and to correlate themicrostructure with the processing maps.

• Influence of the temperature and strain rate on the flow curves• At strain rates higher than 1 s-1 softening, due to adiabatic flow occurs• At low strain rates: steady state takes place• Increasing the deformation temperature: stress values decrease
β-Ti
• The efficiency map shows a stronger dependence of the flow behaviouron the strain rate in the α/β-field than in the β-field.
• At moderate strain rates the highest η value can be seen and η remainsconstant with increasing strain.
• For low and high strain rates the η value is smaller and stronglydependent on the temperature and strain rate. η is increasing with thestrain.
• A big area of flow instabilities is related to inhomogeneous β graindeformation and not to damage.
