The Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator was utilized to perform warm compression experiments on multi-directional isothermal forged (MDIFed) mixed microstructure Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy with partial ultra-fine grains at the conditions of deformation temperatures ranging from 550 °C to 700 °C, strain rates ranging from 0.001 s −1 to 0.1 s −1 , with the maximum deformation amount at 50%. The results show that the true stress-strain curve exhibits typical dynamic recrystallization (DRX) characteristics at different deformation conditions. Based on the Arrhenius Model, the constitutive equation of the MDIFedTi-6Al–4V titanium alloy was successfully constructed. The correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE) values are 0.98341 and 7.01%, respectively, indicating that the Arrhenius Model can well describe the warm deformation behavior of the alloy. Through activation energy spectrum analysis, the average activation energy is approximately 308 kJ/mol. Further, utilizing the dynamic material model (DMM), power dissipation diagrams, instability diagrams, and processing maps were drawn, and the optimal warm processing ranges were determined to be 630 °C–700 °C, 0.001s −1 ∼0.002s −1 and 650 °C–700 °C, 0.06s −1 ∼0.1s −1 . At the same time, the unstable domains were identified to be concentrated in the range of 550 °C–640 °C, 0.03s −1 ∼0.1s −1 . Through the analysis of local misorientation and Schmidt factor in EBSD technology, The results indicate that the deforma...
