Titanium alloys are widely used in the manufacture of aero-engine blisks due to their low density, high strength, and excellent performance at medium and high temperatures. However, there are few studies on dynamic mechanical properties and adiabatic shear sensitivities of titanium alloy forgings for blisks. In this work, the dynamic mechanical properties of forged TC17 and TC4 alloys at high strain rates were examined by SHPB apparatus, and OM, SEM, EBSD were used to study the adiabatic shear behaviors of the two kinds of alloy. As the strain rate increases, the strength of both alloys increases, thus exhibiting the strain rate strengthening effect. At the same strain rate, TC4 alloy exhibits higher plastic strain and dynamic absorbed energy than those of TC17 alloy. TC17 alloy obtains a basket-weave microstructure after β forging, in which lath α-phases and residual β phases form more phase interfaces. ASBs tend to form at phase interfaces, which lead to a tendency for ASBs to bifurcate during propagating processes. TC4 alloy obtains a bimodal microstructure after α+β forging, and equiaxed primary α-phases show good ductility, which improve the dynamic plastic deformation ability. The regular arrangement of secondary α-phases results in fewer phase interfaces, leading to the difficulty in bifurcation of ASBs during propagating processes. Under dynamic interrupted compression conditions, ASBs in TC17 alloy are occurred earlier, and the localization energy of ASBs is low. Therefore, TC17 alloy has higher adiabatic shear sensitivity, and adiabatic shear sensitivities of both alloys increase with the increase of strain rates.
