In order to evaluate the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of as-cast Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V alloy, a series of compressions with a height reduction of 60% were performed in a temperature range of 1073-1323 K (0.55-0.68Tm) and a strain rate range of 0.01-10 s鈭? on a Gleeble1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. By the regression analysis for conventional hyperbolic sine equation, the activation energy of DRX was determined as Q=933.3233 kJ mol鈭?, and a dimensionless parameter controlling the stored energy were determined as . According to the strain hardening rate curves (d蟽/d蔚 versus 蟽), three characteristic parameters including the critical strain for DRX initiation (蔚c), the strain for peak stress (蔚p), and the strain for maximum softening rate (蔚鈦?/sup>) were identified. A modified Avrami type equation was introduced to characterize the evolution of DRX volume fraction in 伪-phase temperatures under 0.59Tm, in which 蔚c, 蔚鈦?/sup> and m were described as and m=4.133402 respectively. The evolution of DRX volume was described as the following: for a fixed strain rate, the strain required for the same amount of DRX volume fraction increases with decreasing deformation temperature, in contrast, for a fixed temperature, it increases with increasing strain rate. Finally, the theoretical predictions were validated by the microstructure graphs.
