Multiphase intermetallic alloys for structural applications

Current more or less progressed developments on the base of intermetallic phases usually aim at new materials with the highest possible strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance at the highest possible temperature and tolerable brittleness at lower temperatures for structural applications at high temperatures. Intermetallic alloys offer advantageous possibilities for reaching these aims by appropriate combination of phases and optimisation of phase distribution. This is exemplified with respect to strength and creep resistance by recent studies on NiAl alloys with strengthening Laves phase and multiphase TiAl alloys. The beneficial effects of additional softening phases on deformability and toughness are demonstrated by the results of recent studies on Laves phase alloys with disordered Fe–Al phase, NiAl alloys with disorderd Ni–Fe phase and partially transformed martensitic NiAl alloys. Mechanisms and problems are discussed and perspectives are outlined.     

Intermetallic alloys based on gamma titanium aluminide

Titanium-aluminide alloys based on TiAl have an excellent potential to become one of the most important aerospace materials because of their low density, high melting temperature, good elevated-temperature strength and modulus retention, high resistance to oxidation and hydrogen absorption, and excellent creep properties. The chief roadblock to their application is poor ductility at low to intermediate temperatures that results in low fracture toughness and a fast fatigue-crack growth rate. During the last several years, a great deal of effort has been made to improve these ductile properties. These endeavors have met with some success through chemistry modification and microstructure control.     

Improving the oxidation resistance of γ‐titanium aluminides by halogen treatment

Intermetallic alloys based on TiAl are candidates for several structural high temperature applications but their oxidation resistance is limited to temperatures below 800 °C. In this paper the results of high temperature oxidation and creep tests will be presented and discussed. The treatment with halogens improves the oxidation resistance of these alloys up to 1050 °C. A thin protective Al₂O₃‐layer is formed after treatment with halogens instead of the mixed TiO₂/Al₂O₃/TiN scale typically grown on these alloys. This alumina layer protects the component under isothermal and thermocyclic conditions. The protective effect is stable up to at least 8760 h. Creep tests of halogen treated materials at high temperatures showed no effect on the creep behaviour. Automotive turbocharger rotors were exposed at 1050 °C in air with and without fluorine‐treatment for demonstration of real parts.

Recent developments in engineering γ—TiAl intermetallics

γ-TiAl based alloys are rapidly being developed for elevated temperature applications,due to their high strength,light mass and good oxidation resistance.However,th disadvantages of TiAl based alloys are low ductility and toughness at room temperature,and poor workability.Grain refinement is one of the most effective ways for improving room temperature tensile properties and hot workability of ordered TiAl based alloys.At present,the majority of research works have focused on alloy modifications through compositional controls,alloying additions,thermo-mechanical processing and production techniques.This article discusses the research status of TiAl based alloys in the aras of microstructure,alloying,processing and applications.     

Joining ODS materials for high-temperature applications

Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) high-temperature alloys represent a unique class of powder-metallurgy-based engineering materials. They offer combinations of high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and hot corrosion resistance that cannot be obtained in other alloys. The alloys were initially developed for the aircraft gas turbine industry; since then, however, applications have expanded to include industrial gas turbines, equipment for handling molten glass, high-temperature furnace assemblies, and a variety of other industrial components. Internationally, the materials are also of interest for nuclear power systems (both breeder and fusion reactors) since ferritic ODS alloys exhibit both excellent swelling resistance and good elevated-temperature creep resistance. Many of these applications require that the ODS alloys be joined to either themselves or to other materials. The purpose of this paper is to review some of the techniques available for making these joints.

Mechanical properties of TiAl fabricated by electron beam melting—A review

As a typical intermetallic material, TiAl is inevitably difficult to process by conventional methods. Additive manufacturing (AM) has recently become a new option for making net-shape TiAl components. Among all AM methods, electron beam melting (EBM) shows the potential to make TiAl components with good mechanical properties and is used for low pressure turbine blades. The mechanical properties, including tensile and compression properties, fracture toughness, fatigue and creep properties of EBM TiAl are reviewed and compared to the conventionally fabricated alloys. Results show that the tensile strength of EBM alloys is higher than cast alloys, and other properties are comparable to the cast/forged alloys. The sensitivity of mechanical properties and microstructure to EBM processing parameters is presented. Issues including layered microstructure, anisotropy in mechanical properties, and fatigue failure from defects are also reviewed. Finally, some opportunities and challenges of EBM TiAl are identified.     

Molybdenum silicide based materials and their properties

Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) is a promising candidate material for high temperature structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030 °C) material with excellent oxidation resistance and a moderate density (6.24 g/cm³). However, low toughness at low temperatures and high creep rates at elevated temperatures have hindered its commercialization in structural applications. Much effort has been invested in MoSi₂ composites as alternatives to pure molybdenum disilicide for oxidizing and aggressive environments. Molybdenum disilicide-based heating elements have been used extensively in high-temperature furnaces. The low electrical resistance of silicides in combination with high thermal stability, electronmigration resistance, and excellent diffusion-barrier characteristics is important for microelectronic applications. Projected applications of MoSi₂-based materials include turbine airfoils, combustion chamber components in oxidizing environments, missile nozzles, molten metal lances, industrial gas burners, diesel engine glow plugs, and materials for glass processing. In this paper, synthesis, fabrication, and properties of the monolithic and composite molybdenum silicides are reviewed.

Density of thermal vacancies in γ-Ti–Al–M,M=Si,Cr, Nb,Mo, Ta or W

Modifications to alloy chemistry are often used to tailor the intrinsic flow behavior of structural materials. Models of creep in intermetallic alloys must account for the influence of chemistry on the available intrinsic creep mechanisms. As in simple metals the presence of vacancies strongly influences bulk diffusion processes in these materials. Limiting the density of constitutional and thermal vacancies by alloying may produce materials with enhanced creep properties. The energy of intrinsic and substitutional point defects in L1₀ TiAl is calculated within a first principles, local density functional theory framework. Relaxed structures and energies for vacancies, antisites and solid solutions are calculated using a plane-wave-pseudopotential method. Calculated defect energies are used within a canonical ensemble formalism to estimate the point defect densities as a function of temperature and composition. The density of vacancies is found to be sensitive to the underlying stoichiometry of TiAl. The dependence of the vacancy concentration for solid solutions of Si, Cr, Nb, Mo, Ta and W is also predicted.     

Development of Creep-Resistant and Oxidation-Resistant Austenitic Stainless Steels for High Temperature Applications

Austenitic stainless steels are cost-effective materials for high-temperature applications if they have the oxidation and creep resistance to withstand prolonged exposure at such conditions. Since 1990, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed advanced austenitic stainless steels with creep resistance comparable to Ni-based superalloy 617 at 800–900°C based on specially designed “engineered microstructures” utilizing a microstructure/composition database derived from about 20 years of radiation effect data on steels. The wrought high temperature-ultrafine precipitate strengthened (HT-UPS) steels with outstanding creep resistance at 700–800°C were developed for supercritical boiler and superheater tubing for fossil power plants in the early 1990s, the cast CF8C-Plus steels were developed in 1999–2001 for land-based gas turbine casing and diesel engine exhaust manifold and turbocharger applications at 700–900°C, and, in 2015–2017, new Al-modified cast stainless steels with oxidation and creep resistance capabilities up to 950–1000°C were developed for automotive exhaust manifold and turbocharger applications. This article reviews and summarizes their development and their properties and applications.     

Combined Al‐ plus F‐treatment of Ti‐alloys for improved behaviour at elevated temperatures

Titanium is a widely used structural material because of its low specific weight, good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance at ambient temperature. As a result of increased oxidation at elevated temperatures and environmental embrittlement the maximum operation temperature of standard Ti‐alloys is only about 600 °C. The oxidation behaviour can be improved by different methods, e.g. coatings. This leads to an improvement which is, however, often limited. The combination of Al‐enrichment in the sub surface zone, so that a TiAl‐layer is formed, plus F‐treatment gives impressively good results because a protective alumina scale is formed due to the fluorine effect. This alumina scale prevents oxygen inward diffusion which causes embrittlement and protects the material against environmental attack. The procedure is applied to alloys with a very low Al‐content or even no Al at all. In the paper results of oxidation tests of α‐Ti without any treatment, with Al‐treatment and with a combination of Al‐ + F‐treatment are presented. Aluminium was diffused into the samples by a powder pack process. Fluorine was applied by a liquid phase process. The formation of an alumina scale on treated samples was revealed by post experimental investigations. The results are discussed referring to the fluorine effect model for TiAl‐alloys.     

Reactive plasma immersion ion implantation for surface passivation

Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) using halogen or oxygen plasmas has been employed for the surface passivation of advanced alloys with a view to their applications for high-temperature oxidation protection and in medicine. Special devices have been designed to ensure efficient plasma generation and reduce sample contamination arising from the interaction of the aggressive plasmas with the chamber components under bias. The paper addresses two main applications of PIII, namely oxidation protection of gamma-titanium aluminides (γ-TiAl), and modification of the surface properties of shape-memory superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys. TiAl intermetallics are of great interest for advanced automobile, aerospace and power generation applications due to their low specific weight and high strength. However, excessive oxidation occurring in these materials at temperatures above 700 °C has hindered their widespread use. Samples of technical γ-TiAl alloys have been treated by both beamline implantation of Cl or F, and PIII of Cl using an Ar/Cl gaseous blend or alternative precursor gases. High-temperature oxidation behavior has been examined under conditions of either isothermal or thermocyclic oxidation at 900 °C. Optimized implantation processing produces marked improvement in the oxidation behavior of the γ-TiAl samples. On the basis of these results, a commercially viable process for enhancing the high-temperature oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl alloys using PIII of halogens is being developed. NiTi alloys are promising materials for use in biomedicine, provided that the release of Ni ions into the body environment can be sufficiently reduced. Oxygen PIII at substrate temperatures below 250 °C results in the formation of a transparent rutile TiO₂ surface layer with a Ni content down to below 1 at.%. This layer in turn serves as a barrier to the corrosion and out-diffusion of Ni ions. Biocompatibility tests show superior in vitro blood compatibility in comparison with untreated NiTi samples.
