Firstly, this study proposes an evaluation index of material hardening/softening behaviour based on the complete stress–strain curve and energy evolution characteristic. Further, the dynamic mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V are investigated through the analysis of the stress–strain relationship and fracture morphology. Finally, the hardening/softening index is calculated and analysed. The findings revealed that the fracture surface of the impact specimen displayed dimple-like and smooth features, that are significantly influenced by both temperature and strain rate. The stress–strain curves demonstrated that Ti-6Al-4V exhibits remarkable strain-rate strengthening, plastic increasing, and strain work hardening behaviour.
