SUMMARY
In order to realistically assess the effects of forming processes on the hard alpha anomaly distribution, an
accurate model of the anomaly deformation behavior is needed. Since the anomaly is much smaller insize than a forging, a two-step procedure was adopted. First, the forging process was simulated(macrocode) assuming that the anomaly has no effect on the bulk material flow. Second, a small regionaround the anomaly was modeled (microcode) with the deformation boundary conditions from the macrosimulation. This strategy permits realistic modeling of anomaly deformation with little added complexity.
In Phase I and earlier in Phase II of the TRMD (Turbine Rotor Material Design) program, a microcodewas developed and validated to predict the size and orientation of hard alpha anomalies. DOE (Design OfExperiments) based models were used to correlate anomaly deformation and forging macro strain. This
correlation predicts anomaly deformation quickly and accurately for both billet conversion andcomponent forging and can be used to modify the hard alpha anomaly distribution used in lifing analyses.
As a follow-on, another activity was defined with the objective of determining the deformation macrostrain required to crack hard alpha anomalies in order to determine the likelihood of non-cracked hardalpha under typical forming conditions. In this study, hard alpha is defined as the region with nitrogencontents greater than 4% and diffusion zone as the region with nitrogen contents less than 4%. The hardalpha exhibits brittle fracture where as the diffusion zone has good ductility. Each is described by its own
constitutive equations. The results of the strain to cracking study are reported here. These results maydirect the future development of NDE UT (Non-Destructive Evaluation Ultra-sonic) methods and/orchanges to current inspection procedures to enhance anomaly detectability.
Hard alpha cracking strain and damage (extent of cracking) were determined as functions of nitrogencontent and deformation parameters. The model was validated with the limited seeded billet experimentaldata from TRMD Phase II. Hard alpha cracking strain increases and damage decreases with decreasinganomaly nitrogen content, increasing temperature, and decreasing strain rate. Damage and forging flowlines along which anomalies tend to orient were computed for three generic Ti-64 forging shapes as
examples. When flow lines are normal to a face, a scan from another face, or a shear scan should be usedto enhance anomaly detectability. These three cases are examples, and in general, the results for anyforging should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Hard Alpha Anomaly Micro-Modeling
In order to make realistic assessments of the effects of forging on the anomaly distribution, an
accurate model is needed to describe the deformation of the brittle hard alpha anomalies.Realistic modeling of these anomalies is difficult due to the complex mechanical behavior of the
material, as well as the large deformations they can encounter during thermo-mechanicalprocessing, such as ingot to billet conversion, extrusion, or component forging. Further, the largedisparity in length scales between the anomaly and the component forging makes it impractical
to model the anomaly and the component simultaneously.
Typical aircraft engine disk forging sizes are in the range of 6 to 30 (15 cm to 75 cm) indiameter and typical hard alpha anomaly sizes of concern are about 0.10 (2.5 mm) in size orsmaller. Due to this extreme size ratio between the full-scale part and the anomaly, a two-step
macro-micro level simulation was adopted. First, the entire forging process was simulated(macro level) using material properties for the titanium alloy and assuming that the presence of
the anomaly had no effect on the bulk flow behavior of the material. Second, a small regionaround the anomaly was identified, the geometry and key material properties of the anomaly
were defined, and a small volume of the matrix material with the nitrogen diffusion zone andhard alpha anomaly was forced through the same deformation pattern as the original material(micro level simulation).
In the micro model, the deformation of a volume, referred to as a micro-volume, is simulated.The micro-volume (Figure 1) consists of the anomaly surrounded by a diffusion zone, and then
by the parent material. The boundaries of the micro-volume extend well beyond that of theanomaly. Beyond the boundaries of the micro-volume, the presence of the anomaly is assumed to
have a negligible effect on the deformation in the parent material. This is true unless the anomalysize is comparable to the local forging size. The advantage of this approach is that it de-couplesthe deformation of the anomaly and the parent material, allowing each calculation to be

3.0 WORK ITEM 1: STRAIN TO CRACK HARD ALPHA
3.1 Objective
Determine the relationship between hard alpha nitrogen content and strain to hard alpha cracking
using TRMD data and the micro- and macro-codes. The strain to hard alpha cracking is afunction of the variables: hard alpha nitrogen content, diffusion zone nitrogen content,
deformation temperature and strain rate. The results will be presented as contours of strain tohard alpha cracking as a function of two variables, with the other variables held constant.
3.2 Accomplishments
The microcode developed in TRMD Phase I was based on the UNIX version ofDEFORM
TM. With the move towards PC based platforms, the microcode was transitioned
from Unix to Windows-2000 based computers using the PC version of DEFORMTM
. Theuser interface with this version is totally different from the unix version. Tests were
conducted to ensure that the microcode features work properly and that the PC versionreproduces the Unix results for standard runs. Some minor inconsistencies associated withfortran 90 vs fortran 77 were fixed.
A web based fortran compilation procedure was created at SFTC (Scientific Forming
Technologies Corporation licensors of DEFORMTM
to compile user subroutines. Thispermits users to compile their user subroutines on the internet. Two procedures weresetup: one for the compilation of subroutines associated with the finite element simulation
and the other for subroutines associated with post-processing. Both procedures were tested
and they worked satisfactorily.
Strain to hard alpha cracking was determined as a function of: Hard alpha nitrogen content,

3.3 Constitutive Equations For Hard Alpha
Constitutive equations for hard alpha were developed in TRMD Phase I. These data were used
here to obtain the damage and strain to crack hard alpha. Complete details of the constitutiveequations and the experimental testing are provided in Reference 3. A brief summary is
provided below.
The flow and fracture behavior of hard alpha was studied as a function of nitrogen content, stressstate, strain, strain rate, and temperature. Hard-alpha specimens with nitrogen contents rangingfrom 2 to 11.6 weight per cent were fabricated. Stress-strain curves were obtained under various
states of stress by performing uniaxial compression, indirect tension, indentation, and plane-
strain compression tests at two strain rates. The yield strength increases with increasing nitrogencontent and with increasing strain rate, but decreases with increasing temperature. Hard alphaundergoes substantial plastic deformation for nitrogen contents less than 4%, but it exhibitsbrittle fracture with little plastic flow for nitrogen contents 5.5% and higher.
In TRMD Phase I, constitutive equations describing the onset and evolution of the failure
of hard alpha were developed. The constitutive equations developed describe the fracture ofhard alpha (intact material) and the failure stress of damaged hard alpha as a function of damage
using a continuum damage mechanics formulation. The equations are briefly described below.More details are provided in Reference 3.
For intact material, the flow or fracture stress, Yi, of hard alpha is given by:

The accumulated damage at any time is obtained by integrating the damage rate equation:

3.4 Definitions of Hard Alpha and Diffusion Zone
The constitutive property data generated experimentally in TRMD Phase I (Reference 1) indicate
that hard alpha deforms plastically when the nitrogen content is less than 4 weight %, butfractures when the nitrogen content is 4 weight % or greater. Guided by these experimental
observations, constitutive equations were developed to describe the fracture behavior of hardalpha with high nitrogen contents ( > 4 % N) and the plastic flow behavior of hard alpha with
low nitrogen contents ( < 4 % N).
Henceforth, the region with nitrogen content greater than 4% is called a hard alpha and the
region with nitrogen content less than 4% is called a diffusion zone Each is described by its own

3.5 Strain to Cracking and Damage Results
The hard alpha constitutive and damage equations describ ed in the previous section were used to
determine the strain to hard alpha cracking and damage. Table 2 lists the values of the variablesused. Diffusion zone was defined as 1 to 4% nitrogen content; at these nit rogen contents, the
anomaly shows good ductility and no cracking. Hard alpha was defined as greater than 4%nitrogen content; at these nitrogen contents, the anomaly exhibits poor ductility and cracking.
Calculations were done upto 8% hard alpha nitrogen content, since there is little difference forhigher nitrogen contents.
VARIABLE Min/Max Levels
Hard Alpha N2 content (weight %) 4, 8
Diffusion Zone N2 content (weight %) 1, 3
Strain rate (1/sec) 0.1, 1.0
Temperature (F) 1550, 1750
Macro forging strain 0.1, 2.1
Damage 0, 1

3. The forging macro strains to reach several values of damage in the range of 0 to 1 werecalculated. Hard alpha cracking starts when the damage exceeds zero. For a damage
value of unity, the hard alpha is fully cracked. Cracking occurs over a range of damage
and macro strain. Therefore, cracking was defined to have occurred if the hard alphadamage (from equation (6)) reached a pre-defined damage value. If the damage
calculated in step 3 exceeded the pre-defined critical damage, cracking was deemed tohave occurred. The corresponding forging strain to reach the extent of cracking defined
by this value of damage was calculated. This strain, as a function of hard alpha N2content, diffusion zone N2 content, strain rate, temperature, and critical damage, wassaved for use in the DEFORMTM user subroutine. The use in the subroutine was again
through a table look up function similar to that described for damage in step 2.
Strain to hard alpha cracking was obtained as a function of five variables: Hard alpha nitrogen content, Diffusion zone nitrogen content,
Deformation temperature, Deformation strain rate, and
Critical damage indicating the extent of cracking.
Hard alpha damage was obtained as a function of five variables: Hard alpha nitrogen content, Diffusion zone nitrogen content,
Deformation temperature, Deformation strain rate, and Macro strain.
Since the microcode does not explicitly predict cracking, damage was used to indicate the extent
of cracking. Strain to cracking, strain rate and temperature all refer to macro forging values.
The results were plotted in various ways for ease of use and interpretation. There are a total of 5

and the associated reduction in flow stress dominates thermal softening. At higher macro strains,when damage has occurred at all temperatures, the flow stress shows the normal decrease with
increasing temperature. At high macro strains, the thermal softening dominates as damage has
occurred at all temperatures.
At higher strain rate, hard alpha deforms less since the ratio of the flow stress of HA to base Ti-64 increases with strain rate. Damage is proportional to both strain rate and to strain.
This shows that depending on the deformation region (strain, strain rate, temperature), the trendsin flow stress can be quite different. For this reason, the strain to cracking and damage do not
vary monotonically with some of the deformation parameters.
To summarize, the strain to hard alpha cracking increases and damage decreases with decreasing hard alpha nitrogen content, decreasing diffusion zone nitrogen content,
increasing temperature, and decreasing strain rate.
In other words more forging macro strain is needed to crack an anomaly with a lower hard alpha
nitrogen content or a lower diffusion zone nitrogen content or at a higher temperature or at alower strain rate.

3.6 Use of Strain to Cracking and Damage Contour Plots
The use of the damage and the strain to cracking plots is described below and shown in Figure 6 and
Figure 7.
The way to use these plots, is to first find the plot with the most suitable contour axes; e.g., if strainrate and temperature are known and results are desired for several HA N2 and DZ N2, a plot with the
latter two as the contour axes should be selected. The deformation conditions of macro strain, strainrate and temperature are located at the given HA N2 % and DZ N2% and this gives the damagevalue. Damage equal to zero indicates an intact hard alpha anomaly. Damage equal to 1 indicates a
fully failed hard alpha anomaly. Therefore, the larger the damage value, the more extensive the
cracking of the hard alpha anomaly.
The strain to cracking plots should be used in the same way. First the plot with the most suitablecontour axes is selected. The point at the given values of the 5 variables is located to obtain the
cracking strain contour value. The cracking strain is compared with the macro strain from a forgingmodel of the deformation process. This determines if a hard alpha anomaly at the location will crack
and the corresponding damage value indicates the extent of cracking.

Results are shown as contour plots of flow stress in temperature/strain rate. The strain and strain ratein these plots refer to macro values. The following conclusions were drawn:
With increasing macro strain, HA flow stress decreases due to increased damage and cracking.
Damage and cracking initiate at high strain rate and/or low temperature and spread to lowerstrain rates and higher temperatures with increasing macro strain.

4.0 WORK ITEM 2: CRACKING STRAIN VS FORGING STRAIN
4.1 Objective
Evaluate the strain to hard alpha cracking relative to the strain produced during billet conversion
and during forging. Contours of strain during the forging of three generic non-proprietary shapeswill be obtained. Only one material (Ti-64) will be modeled. In general, each forging should be
modeled and the results evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The results obtained here will betypical of what to expect.
4.2 Accomplishments
A user subroutine was written to process the damage and strain to hard alpha cracking datain DEFORMTM. The subroutine creates contour plots of the hard alpha damage based on
the local forging temperature, strain and strain rate for given HA and DZ nitrogencontents. The damage values indicate the extent of cracking for the given HA and DZ
nitrogen contents. High damage values (approaching 1) indicate severe cracking whereaslow damage values (close to zero) indicate only the onset of cracking.
The model was validated using the data from the seeded dog-bone and back-flow forgingsfrom Phase I.
4.3 DEFORMTM
User Subroutine
The layout of the user subroutine is summarized below. A listing of the subroutine is provided in
APPENDIX 9: DEFORMTM SUBROUTINE.
1. Read damage rate and strain to cracking data on the first pass through this subroutine.

3. The data read in step 1 is interpolated to the elemental strain, strain rate and temperature.
4. The interpolated damage is saved in four user defined variables at each element:
a) Damage at HA N2 = 4% and DZ N2 = 1%
b) Damage at HA N2 = 8% and DZ N2 = 1%c) Damage at HA N2 = 4% and DZ N2 = 3%
d) Damage at HA N2 = 8% and DZ N2 = 3%
5. Four contour plots of damage at the extremes of HA N2 and DZ N2 are obtained as
output.
6. These plots show the extent of cracking for anomalies with these nitrogen contents.
4.4 Model Validation
Macro forge models of the seeded mults SB1 - SB4 (dog-bone and reverse flow) werecompleted. These models were created in Phase I TRMD and were rerun using the strain to
cracking DEFORMTM user subroutine described above. The damage contours at the extremes ofHA N2 and DZ N2 are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9.
A total of 44 seeds were fabricated, with/without diffusion zone, individual and clusters andforged in SB1 SB4 (Table 3). Twenty-eight (28) of the 44 seeds were cutup for detailedinvestigation of deformation and cracking.
SB1 (4 seeds cutup): seed numbers 1, 3, 4, 6. SB3 (12 seeds cutup): seed numbers 13-16, 17-20, 21-24. SB4 (12 seeds cutup): seed numbers 29-32, 33-36, 41-44.

5.0 WORK ITEM 3: CRACKING DURING BILLET CONVERSION AND
COMPONENT FORGING
5.1 Objective
Determine hard alpha nitrogen content which would not crack during billet and forgingconversions. A combination of the strain to cracking and the forging macro-strain data will be
used to determine the hard alpha nitrogen contents at which cracking occurs.
5.2 Accomplishments
Determined extent of hard alpha cracking during billet conversion and component forging.
Used three generic forging shapes as examples.
Modeled one material (Ti-64).
5.3 Ingot to Billet Conversion Damage
Damage was computed for the ingot to billet conversion process as described below:
Results based on 36 initial diameter.
For other diameters, these results apply for the same initial to final diameter ratio.
Based on uniform strain = ln(square of initial to final diameter ratio).

5.4 Application of Damage and Cracking Strain to Forged Disks
Three generic forging shapes were used to illustrate the strain to cracking capability. In general,one should evaluate the results for any forging on a case-by-case basis. Strains during conversionof ingot to billet should be considered in addition to the component forging strains when
assessing the cracking of hard alpha anomaliess.
The first generic shape used was the seeded billet forgings SB1 SB4 from TRMD Phase I. Theother two shapes were Rolls-Royce forgings.
The two Rolls-Royce forgings which were modeled in Phase 1 (P/N 68696, AE 3007 fan disk
and P/N 68014, AE 2100/3007 Stage 14 compressor disk) were used as examples to illustrate theuse of the strain-to-cracking subroutines. The forgings are shown in Figure 17. In Phase I, areview of Rolls-Royce Allison fan rotor and compressor disk components resulted in theselection of these two components. The criteria for selecting the components were:
Must be in commercial service; Titanium alloy; Produced by press forging.
The fan disk is produced by Wyman-Gordon in Ti-64 alloy and the compressor disk is produced
by Sifco in Ti-6242 alloy. The fan disk is produced by press forging in a highly contoured closeddie. The compressor disk, being a relatively simple, flat shape, is press forged as a pancake inopen dies.
Roll-Royce worked with Wyman-Gordon and Sifco to establish DEFORMTM forging models for
each part. Both forgers use DEFORMTM in their forging die design operations and agreed to
share key word files with Rolls-Royce to run the models in-house. This was successfullyaccomplished and both models were run at Rolls-Royce. For the fan disk, Rolls-Royce used
proprietary Wyman-Gordon flow stress data for Ti-64 to run the macromodel. The data were

5.5 Strain to Cracking Conclusions
The results of the present study show that ingot to billet conversion will, under commonly usedprocessing conditions, crack all hard alpha with nitrogen contents greater than 4%, which is the
lowest hard alpha nitrogen content evaluated here. The extent of cracking will be less if theconversion is carried out at high temperatures (~1750F) or low strain rates (~ 0.1/sec). Fornitrogen content less than 4%, the anomaly is treated as a diffusion zone. The diffusion zone
results from partially dissolved hard alpha cores during melting or conversion steps. If theanomaly is a diffusion zone only (without a hard alpha core), then the TRMD Phase I flow stresstests indicate that it has good ductility (Sections 3.3 and 3.4). The diffusion zone only anomaly is
unlikely to crack after billet conversion and forging; it would only deform along with the basematerial, but to a lesser extent depending on its nitrogen content. In reality there is no sharp
transition between a diffusion zone and a hard alpha at 4% nitrogen. The transition from ductileto brittle behavior occurs over a range of nitrogen contents depending on the deformationconditions (strain, strain rate, and temperature) and the beta to (beta + alpha) transition
temperature. More work is needed to accurately characterize the transition zone. Figure 20shows conceptually the dependence of cracking on nitrogen content in the diffusion zone and
hard alpha and the in-between transition zone.

6.0 WORK ITEM 4: ANOMALY ORIENTATION
6.1 Objective
Determine the orientations of melt-related anomalies in the conversion from ingot to billet and
also the conversion from billet to forging. The primary objective of this study would be todetermine if it would be likely that melt-related anomalies could end up oriented normal to
forging surfaces. Forging flow lines along which melt related anomalies tend to get oriented willbe predicted for the same three generic shapes defined in Work Item 3. Again, each forgingshould be modeled and the results evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The results obtained here
will be typical of what to expect.
6.2 Accomplishments
Predicted forging flow lines along which melt related anomalies tend orient.
Used same three generic forging shapes as in Work Item #3.
6.3 Results
Results for the seeded billet forgings SB1 SB4 are shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22.
Results for the two Rolls-Royce forgings are shown in Figure 23 thru Figure 26.
In some regions of these forgings, the flow lines are normal to forging surfaces. Melt-relatedanomalies which tend to orient along the flow lines might not be detectable if scanned from the
face to which the flow lines are normal. When flow lines are normal to a face, a scan fromh f h h ld b d

7.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In Phase I and earlier in Phase II of the TRMD program, a microcode was developed andvalidated to predict the size and orientation of hard alpha anomaliess. DOE (Design OfExperiments) based models were used to correlate anomaly deformation and forging macro
strain. This correlation predicts anomaly deformation quickly and accurately for both billetconversion and component forging and can be used to modify the anomaly distribution used in
lifing analyses.
As a follow-on, another activity was defined with the objective of determining the deformation
macro strain required to crack hard alpha anomalies in order to determine the likelihood of non-
cracked hard alpha under typical forming conditions. The results of this study are reported here.These results may direct the future development of NDE UT (Non-Destructive Evaluation Ultra-sonic) methods and/or changes to current inspection procedures to enhance anomalydetectability.
Hard alpha cracking strain and damage (extent of cracking) were determined as functions of
nitrogen content and deformation parameters. The model was validated with the limited seededbillet experimental data from TRMD Phase II. Extent of cracking correlates approximately with
hard alpha damage. Results are shown in a number of ways for ease of use and interpretation.
Strain to HA cracking increases and HA damage decreases with
decreasing HA N2 and decreasing DZ N2 content; increasing temperature; and decreasing strain rate.
For Ti-64, temperatures higher than 1700F and strain rates less than 0.5/second cause low
damage and cracking.
Damage and forging flow lines along which anomaliess tend to orient were computed for three

The results of the present study show that ingot to billet conversion will, under commonly usedprocessing conditions, crack all hard alpha with nitrogen contents greater than 4%, which is the
lowest hard alpha nitrogen content evaluated here. The extent of cracking will be less if theconversion is carried out at high temperatures (~1750F) or low strain rates (~ 0.1/sec). Fornitrogen content less than 4%, the anomaly is treated as a diffusion zone. The diffusion zone
results from partially dissolved hard alpha cores during melting or conversion steps. If theanomaly is a diffusion zone only (without a hard alpha core), then the TRMD Phase I flow stress
tests indicate that it has good ductility (Sections 3.3 and 3.4). The diffusion zone only anomaly isunlikely to crack after billet conversion and forging; it would only deform along with the basematerial, but to a lesser extent depending on its nitrogen content. In reality there is no sharp
transition between a diffusion zone and a hard alpha at 4% nitrogen. The transition from ductile
to brittle behavior occurs over a range of nitrogen contents depending on the deformationconditions (strain, strain rate, and temperature) and the beta to (beta + alp ha) transitiontemperature. More work is needed to accurately characterize the transition zone.
The reasons for the discrepancies between the predictions and the measurements are:
Non-smooth hard alpha flow behavior with accumulated damage, especially at high N2content.
A wide range of the various independent variables fitted into a regression equation.
Inaccuracies in the constitutive property data obtained from a rather small number oftests.
Data smoothened and fitted into constitutive equation.
Cracking and voiding in hard alpha not captured.
Unknowns like pre-voiding, pre-cracking, fragmentation and reconstitution will influence

10.0 APPENDIX 1: STATEMENT OF WORK DATED APRIL 9, 2003
The original statement of work dated April 9, 2003 is reproduced here. Some changes were madeto the approach (without changing the final deliverables) as the work progressed and these are
identified below.
10.1 Significance of this Task
The expected benefit of the strain-to-cracking studies is that the generic results will provideinsight into the likelihood of non-cracked HA under typical billet and forging conditions. Also,
expecting insight into the typical orientations of HA in forgings. The results of these studies maydirect the future development of NDE UT methods and/or changes to current inspection
procedures to enhance the detectability of HA in Titanium.
10.2 Work to be performed
1. Determine the relationship between hard alpha nitrogen content and strain to cracking using
TRMD data and the micro- and macro-codes. The strain to hard alpha cracking is a functionof the three variables: hard alpha nitrogen content, the deformation temperature and strain
rate. The results will be presented as contours of strain to hard alpha cracking as a function oftwo variables, with the third variable held constant. Examples are shown below:

In general, each forging should be modeled and the results evaluated on a case-by-case basis.The results obtained here will be typical of what to expect.
3. Determine hard alpha nitrogen content which would not crack during billet and forging
conversions. A combination of the strain to hard alpha cracking and the forging macro-straindata will be used to determine the hard alpha nitrogen contents at which hard alpha crackingoccurs. This can be post-processed and be represented on the forging shape as a contour of
minimum hard alpha nitrogen content to hard alpha cracking.
Note: Initially the results were plotted as contours of hard alpha nitrogen content that would
not crack. However, it was found that the transition from cracking to no cracking occurs
over a narrow range of hard alpha nitrogen content resulting in very closely packed contours
in some regions of the forging. Therefore, this output was modified to produce contours of
damage which more quantitatively indicates the extent of cracking.
Contours of nitrogen content: hard alpha cracking will occur at a location for nitrogen contentsgreater than this
4. Determine the orientations of melt-related anomalies in the conversion from ingot to billet
and also the conversion from billet to forging. The primary objective of this study would beto determine if it would be likely that melt-related anomalies could end up oriented normal to
forging surfaces. Forging flow lines along which melt related anomalies tend to get orientedwill be predicted for the same three generic shapes defined in Item 2. Again, each forgingshould be modeled and the results evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The results obtained
