Structural integration is one of the most critical developing directions in the modern aerospace field,in which large-scale complex components of Ti alloys are proposed to be fabricated via the method of welding+superplastic forming.However,the undesired strain localization appeared during superplas-tic deformation of the entire joint has largely hindered the development of this method.In our study,a combination process of friction stir welding(FSW)+static annealing+superplastic deformation was first time proposed to eliminate severe local deformation.To achieve this result,a fully fine lamellar structure was obtained in the nugget zone(NZ)via FSW,which was totally different from the mill-annealed struc-ture in the base material(BM).After annealing at 900℃for 180 min,the BM and NZ then exhibited the similar elongation of＞500％and similar flow stress at 900℃,3×10-3 s-1,which was the precondition for achieving uniform superplastic deformation in the entire joint.Moreover,the different microstructures in the BM and NZ tended to become the similar equiaxed structure after deformation,which was the re-sult of different microstructural evolution mechanisms in the NZ and BM.For the NZ,there was a static and dynamic spheroidization of the fully lamellar structure during the process,which could largely re-duce the flow softening of the fully lamellar structure.For the BM,a new view of"Langdon-CRSS theory"(CRSS,critical resolved shear stress)was proposed to describe the fragmentation of the coarse equiaxed structure,which established the relationship between grain boundary sliding and intragranular deforma-tion during deformation.
