固溶处理对GH4169G合金蠕变的影响

研究了固溶处理温度对GH4169G合金晶粒组织、晶界析出和蠕变的影响。结果表明,随着固溶处理温度的提高(由980℃提高到1020℃)GH4169G合金的晶粒尺寸明显增大,晶界d相的尺寸和数量明显减少,晶内g″相的析出变化不大;合金的650℃/700 MPa稳态蠕变速率明显降低,表观蠕变激活能明显增大,蠕变断裂寿命显著延长。固溶处理温度对680℃/725 MPa的蠕变性能有相同的影响趋势,但其程度减弱。孪晶的形成是GH4169G合金的重要蠕变机制。提高固溶处理温度使晶界d相的析出减少,晶界滑动蠕变速率降低;同时使晶粒度增大,形成孪晶的阻力增大,晶粒蠕变速率降低。

Creep behaviour of equiaxed fine-grain γ-TiAl-based alloy prepared by powder metallurgy

In this study, γ-TiAl-based alloy with chemical composition of Ti–45Al–5Nb (in at.-%) fabricated by powder metallurgy method was crept at 700°C under 200–500?MPa. The creep properties and the microstructure after creep tests were investigated. The results showed that the γ-TiAl-based alloy was composed of equiaxed γ-TiAl grains and α ₂-Ti₃Al grains with average sizes of 1.4 and 0.5?μm, respectively. The creep resistance deteriorated generally with increased applied stresses. The typical intergranular fracture characteristics were observed though the grains were small. The calculated stress exponent and activation energy revealed the main creep mechanism of grain boundary sliding. Furthermore, twinning and dynamic recrystallisation also led to the creep deformation.     

一种含4.5%Re/3.0%Ru的单晶镍基合金的高温蠕变行为

通过对含4.5%Re/3.0%Ru单晶镍基合金进行高温蠕变性能测试,并采用扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)对不同蠕变期间的试样进行组织形貌观察,研究了该合金的高温蠕变行为。结果表明,本实验所选用的单晶合金在高温蠕变期间具有良好的蠕变抗力,在1040℃/160MPa的蠕变寿命达到725h。高温蠕变初期,合金中γ′相沿垂直于应力轴方向转变成筏状结构,其稳态蠕变期间的变形机制是位错在基体中滑移和攀移越过筏状γ′相。高温蠕变后期,合金的变形机制是位错在基体中滑移和剪切筏状γ′相。位错的交替滑移使筏形γ′相扭曲,并在γ/γ′两相界面发生裂纹的萌生与扩展直至断裂,是合金在高温蠕变后期的断裂机制。     

一种4.5%Re镍基单晶合金在980℃蠕变期间的变形与损伤机制

通过蠕变性能测试和组织形貌观察,研究了一种Re含量为4.5%Re(质量分数,下同)的镍基单晶合金的高温蠕变行为、变形和损伤机制。结果表明,4.5%Re合金在980℃/300MPa的蠕变寿命为169h。蠕变初期,合金中立方γ′相转变为垂直于应力轴的N型筏状结构。稳态蠕变期间,合金的变形机制为位错在基体中滑移和攀移越过筏状γ′相。蠕变后期,合金的变形机制为位错在基体中滑移和剪切进入筏状γ′相。由于γ基体通道较窄,位错在基体通道中滑移所需的阻力较大。剪切进入γ′相的110超位错可由{111}面交滑移至{100}面,形成K-W锁,从而抑制位错的滑移和交滑移,这是合金具有较好蠕变抗力的主要原因。主/次滑移位错的交替开动,可致使筏状γ′相扭曲,并促使裂纹在筏状γ/γ′两相界面萌生;裂纹沿垂直于应力轴方向扩展,直至断裂,这是合金的蠕变断裂机制。     

Microstructure evolution and deformation features of AZ31 Mg-alloy during creep

By means of the measurement of the creep curve and the observation of SEM and transmission electron microscope (TEM), an investigation has been made into the microstructure evolution and deformation features of AZ31 Mg-alloy during high temperature creep. Results show that the deformation features of the alloy in the primary stage of creep are that significant amount of dislocation slips are activated on basal and non-basal planes, then these ones are concentrated into the dislocation cells or walls as creep goes on. At the same time, twinning occurs as an additional deformation mechanism in the role of the compatibility stress. During steady state creep, the dislocation cells are transformed into the subgrains, then, the protrusion and coalition of the sub-boundaries results in the occurrence of dynamic recovery (DRV). After the dynamic recrystallization (DRX), the multiple slips in the grain interiors are considered to be the main deformed mechanism in the later stage of the steady state creep. An obvious feature of creep entering the tertiary stage is that the cracks appear on the locations of the triple junction. As creep continues, the cracks are viscous expanded along the grain boundaries; this is taken for being the fracture mechanism of the alloy crept to failure. The multiple slips in the grain interiors and the cracks expanded viscous along the grain boundary occur in whole of specimens, that, together with the twins and dynamic recrystallization, is responsible for the rapid increase of the strain rate in the later stage during creep.     

The effect of aging process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Cu–Be–Co–Ni alloy

The paper investigated the effect of two aging processes (i.e. normal aging and interrupted aging) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Cu–Be–Co–Ni alloy. The results of tensile and Kahn tear tests showed that the interrupted aging (IA) process could significantly improve the uniform elongation and plane stress fracture toughness with tiny decrease in ultimate tensile strength, when compared with the results from normal aging (NA) process. Under the scanning electron microscope, the fracture surface of samples treated by NA followed the intergranular fracture, while that of the samples treated by IA followed the transgranular fracture. The transmission electron microscope study revealed the differences between the microstructure of the alloy treated by NA and IA processes. After the NA process, the slender strip of γ′ precipitates aggregated at grain boundaries with a length of approximately 10 to 45 nm; the disk-shaped γ″ precipitates in the alloy treated by IA distributed homogenously throughout whole grains with a length of about 3 to 10 nm. The discussion of strengthening mechanisms demonstrated that the mechanism of precipitate shearing by dislocations made a contribution to the strengthening of the alloy treated by IA, while the Orowan mechanism was the dominant strengthening mechanism in the alloy treated by NA.

Fracture mechanism of AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing comparing three point bending test and tensile test

A commercial magnesium alloy, AZ31 in hot-rolled condition, has been processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) to get microstructure modified. Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted along the rolling/extrusion direction for as-received AZ31 alloy and ECAPed AZ31 alloy. Then, three point bending fracture tests were conducted for specimens with a pre-crack perpendicular to the extruded direction. Digital image correlation (DIC) technique was adopted to determine the deformation field around the crack tip. The fracture surfaces of the failed specimens after tensile tests and fracture tests were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). To explore the deformation mechanism, the microstructure and texture of different regions on the deformed specimens were examined through electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results show ECAP process improves both the tensile elongation and fracture toughness of AZ31 alloy. Different from the slip dominated deformation mechanism in the tensile test, deformation twinning presents in the deformation zone adjacent to the crack tip in the three point bending fracture tests. The fracture surface is characterized by co-occurrence of dimple and cleavage features.     

Effect of thermal exposure on the microstructure and creep properties of a fourth-generation Ni-based single crystal superalloy

The effect of thermal exposure on microstructure and creep properties of a fourth-generation nickelbased single crystal superalloy was investigated.The thermal exposure of samples after the full heat treatment was carried out at 1000℃,1100℃ and 1140℃ for 100 h and 200 h.The γ' coarsening,γ' rafting and γ channel widening were observed in samples after thermal exposure.When the thermal exposure time was constant,the morphology of γ' phase in the alloy evolved significantly with increasing aging temperature.The interracial dislocation networks in aged samples after creep ruptured gradually became irregular and sparse with the increase of exposure temperature.When the higher exposure temperature was used,enla rgement of the defect pores was observed in samples,the microcracks were more likely to initiate and propagate at the corner of these pores.After aging at 1000℃ for 100 h,the creep life at 1140℃/137 MPa was slightly longer than that of heat-treated sample,which could be attributed to the slightly coarsened γ' phase,homogenization of refractor elements.In contrast,the creep life of sample exposed at 1140℃ for 100 h was greatly decreased.The decrease of creep life was dominated by the rafting of γ'phase,the irregular interfacial dislocation networks as well as the enlargement of homogenization pores.
