An adaptive constitutive model of the Ti-6.29Al-2.71Mo-1.42Cr alloy in high-temperature deformation

In this paper, an adaptive constitutive model has been acquired with the help of a fuzzy set and an artificial neural network, so as to represent the deformation behavior of the Ti-6.29Al-2.71Mo-1.42Cr alloy in high-temperature deformation. In establishing this model for the constitutive relationship of this alloy, the process parameters of deformation temperature, strain rate, and strain were taken as three inputs, and the flow stress was taken as an output. Data from “teaching samples” and testing samples were obtained from the experimental results in the isothermal compression of the Ti-6.29Al-2.71Mo-1.42Cr alloy. By comparison of the calculated results with the experimental data from the testing samples, it was verified that the present adaptive constitutive model to predict the flow stress of the Ti-6.29Al-2.71Mo-1.42Cr alloy has good learning precision and generalization.
