Abstract

Through quantitative metallographic analysis, effects of mould materials and plate thickness on formability of the TC4 alloy and β-phase grain size and a phase lamellar spacing in microstructure were investigated. The results show that the formation of TC4 alloy and its microstructure are closely related with mould materials and plate thickness. The ceramic mould is superior to graphic mould in formability and in refining microstructure of plate. With increasing in plate thickness, initial β-phase grain size and a phase lamellar spacing are increased in linear way.
