The finite element software DEFORM-3D was employed to simulate multi-pass upsetting and stretching of TC11 alloy in near β zone.The distribution of temperature and effective strain fields were investigated.Simulation results show that the optimal compression ratio of TC11 is 41% during multi-pass upsetting and stretching.The process of stretching is divided into two steps,and in each step,compression ratio is 50%.In the last pass,the workpiece should be upset to 210 mm first and rotated 180°,then upset to 140 mm.The initial coarse lamellar structure can be transferred to refined equaxied structure through multi-pass upsetting and stretching,which can provide eligible workpiece for the next forging process.
