The high mechanical strength of the lamellar Ti-6Al-4V extruded rod was characterized. The grain morphology of the extruded Ti-6Al-4V rod was investigated by optical microscopy. The microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy consists of very fine α lamella of approximately 2.5 µm in thickness and β lamella with 1 µm thickness. Besides, a numerical model has been presented that reproduces the morphology of the lamellar colonies. In particular, the representative volume element with 512 elements, 4096 elements and, 32768 elements are studied with the C3D8 linear element. Experimental and numerical comparisons of the lamellae morphology have been presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
