On the flow localization concepts in the processing maps of titanium alloy Ti–24Al–20Nb

Using the test data of Ti–24Al–20Nb with microstructural observations, studies are made to examine the applicability of the flow localization concepts as well as the validity of a simplified metallurgical stability condition previously suggested by Narayana Murty and Nageswara Rao, for delineating the regions of flow instabilities in the processing maps.
