Modeling of Phase Transformation for TA15 Titanium Alloy During Heat Treatment

In this paper a phase transformation model with the temperature has been used to predict the percentage of phase at different temperature for TA15 titanium alloy during heat treatment. Heat treatment tests were conducted on TA15 samples at different temperatures ranging from 850°C to 1000°C. The material parameters were determined by using the test results and an Evolutionary Programming (EP)-based optimization method. Good agreements between the experimental and computed results were obtained.
