Abstract This paper presents experimental results and finite element analysis of hot upsetting titanium alloys Ti64 Ti407 using a dilatometer in loading mode. All samples showed barrelling, as consequence an inhomogeneous temperature distribution friction. The FE is full thermomechanical model the test calibrated multiple thermocouples. At each nominal strain rate, true flow stress–strain respo...

The research has a qualitative exploratory design with the grounded theory being the main research method. A mixed quantitative–qualitative approach to data collection was used: an email-based survey was used as an introductory stage to gather data on information gathering methods. The results of the survey were evaluated by ES experts during unstructured interviews. The interviews were then tr...
