Abstract

Inhomogeneous deformation of a single ¡-¢ colony in a Ti6Al4V alloy under uniaxial tensile conditions was numerically simulated using a crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) method, and we predicted density changes in geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) depending on the vanadium concentration in the ¢ phase (V¢). The geometric model for the CPFE analysis was obtained by converting data from electron back-scatter diffraction patterns into data for the geometric model for CPFE analysis, using a data conversion procedure previously developed by the authors. The results of the image-based crystal plasticity analysis indicated that smaller V¢ induced greater stress in the ¡ phase and smaller stress in the ¢ phase close to the ¡-¢ interfaces in the initial stages of deformation because of the elastically softer ¢ phase with lower V¢. This resulted in greater strain gradients and greater GND density close to the interfaces in the initial stages of deformation within the single ¡-¢ colony when the ¢ phase plastically does not deform.
