Effect of V and Nb additions on microstructure,properties,and deformability of Ti-45Al-9 (V,Nb,Y) alloy

Ti-45Al-9(V, Nb, Y) alloys with four different x=V/Nb (atomic ratio x = 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.5) have been prepared, and the microstructures, properties and hot deformation behaviors were investigated. SEM, XRD and TEM results showed that Ti-45Al-9(V, Nb, Y) alloys were mainly composed of γ, α 2 , and β phase, and the volume fraction of β phase increased with the increase of the atomic ratio of V/Nb. The alloys were featured with lamellar microstructure with β and γ phases locating at the colony boundaries, and some β precipitates appearing at γ/γ interfaces. It was found that the colony size decreased with the increase of x. The alloys exhibited moderate mechanical properties at room temperature, with a yield strength of over 600 MPa, and fractures showed mainly translamellar character. The alloy with x=3.5 exhibited the best deformability at elevated temperature and that with x=1 had superior oxidation resistance at 800 ℃.

Effect of severe plastic deformation on the formation of the nanocrystalline structure and the aging of the multicomponent aluminum-lithium alloy with small additions of Sc and Mg

Effect of severe plastic deformation and subsequent low-temperature annealing on the structural and phase transformations, which are realized in the alloy 1450 on the base of the Al-Li-Cu-Zr system with additives of Sc and Mg has been studied by electron microscopy. The possibility of obtaining a nanocrystalline recrystallized structure in the alloy investigated has been established. It has been shown that its uniformity and dispersiveness depend on the degree of deformation and on the regime of annealing and are determined by the density distribution of particles that are precipitated upon the decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution. The transition of the alloy from microcrystalline to submicrocrystalline or nanocrystalline state changes its phase composition, morphology, and mechanism of nucleation of the precipitated phases and makes it possible to minimize structural factors that exert negative effect on the alloy plasticity.     

Effect of artificial aging on intergranular corrosion of extruded AlMgSi alloy with small Cu content

The effect of artificial aging parameters on the corrosion performance of air cooled AlMgSi(Cu) model alloy extrusions was investigated. Accelerated corrosion test revealed that the extrusions were highly susceptible to intergranular corrosion (IGC) in the naturally aged condition. However, IGC susceptibility was reduced, and finally eliminated, by artificial aging. Overaging introduced slight pitting susceptibility. EDS X-ray mapping in FE-TEM revealed Mg₂Si and Q-phase (Al₄Cu₂Mg₈Si₇) grain boundary precipitates and a continuous Cu-enriched grain boundary film. IGC susceptibility was related to the Cu-enriched grain boundary film. Increased IGC resistance was caused by coarsening of the grain boundary film by aging. Pitting susceptibility by over aging evolved due to coarsening of the Q-phase particles in the grain bodies.     

Effect of Hf and Y alloy additions on aluminide coating performance

Iron- and Ni-base alloys, with and without Hf or Hf and Y alloy additions, were aluminized by chemical vapor deposition to study the potential for minor alloy additions to improve oxidation resistance of coated alloys. Compared to uncoated specimens, the coated specimens showed improved cyclic oxidation resistance at 1100° and 1150 °C. However, alumina scale spallation was observed at relatively short times and, particularly for the Ni-base alloy X, the aluminized lab-cast alloy with Hf tended to have poor coating performance compared to the commercial alloy without Hf. Internal oxidation of Hf at 1150 °C and rapid Al depletion in the relatively thin aluminide coatings contributed to the observed detrimental Hf effect. For the Ni-base alloys, the increased scale spallation could be attributed to much higher S contents (10-50 ppma) in the laboratory-cast alloys. Oxide scale spallation from the coating surface was minimized when Hf and Y were added to a casting and the [Y]/[S] content ratio was ∼ 1.     

Zn元素及时效工艺对2056铝合金微观组织和力学性能的影响

通过显微硬度测试、常规拉伸性能测试、DSC分析和透射电镜观察,研究少量Zn元素及时效工艺对2056铝合金微观组织与力学性能的影响。结果表明:在T6、T8和T3时效状态下,2056合金的抗拉强度(σb)和屈服强度(σ0.2)均比不含Zn合金的高,而伸长率(δ)相差不大,这是因为Zn的添加形成富Zn团簇,促进GPB区的形成,进一步促进S′相的析出,提高合金强度。2056合金在T6、T8峰时效态和T3态下的σb和σ0.2由大到小顺序为T8,T3和T6,时效前的预变形形成大量位错,由于位错和溶质原子强烈的交互作用,形成大量的位错塞积和缠结,增加了T3态合金的强度;在T8态下,大量的位错成为S′相的形核点,使合金形成细小、密集和均匀弥散的S′相,其强度较T6和T3态的得到较大提高。
