The effect of nitrogen on the oxidation behavior of Ti-25Al, T-24Al-15Nb, and Ti-25Al-11Nb (at. pct) has been examined in
this study. The gases employed were nitrogen and oxygen-nitrogen and oxygen-argon mixtures in various proportions at a total
pressure of 1 atmosphere. The experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 1100 to 1300 K by thermogravimetry.
The suitability of employing the parabolic rate law as the basis of interpretation of weight gain vs time data has been discussed. Oxidation resistance of Nb-containing alloys was superior to that of binary Ti-25Al, irrespective
of the gas composition employed. The nitridation rates of alloys, with or without Nb, were more than an order of magnitude
lower than those for oxidation. The scales were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy
with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The scales formed in all the conditions mostly consisted of TiO 2 and Al 2O 3. However, TiN was observed in scales of Nb-containing alloys in all nitrogen bearing gases and seemed to primarily account
for improved oxidation resistance of the preceding in comparison to alloys without Nb. Nitrogen pretreatment was provided
for some samples before oxidation for further elucidation of the role of nitrogen. 相似文献

The stability of a lamellar structure consisting of α
2 and γ phases in alloys Ti-48Al, Ti-48Al-2Mo, Ti-48Al-4Nb, and Ti-48Al-1Mo-4Nb has been studied as a function of aging time and
temperature. The alloys were solution treated (1400 °C, 30 min, and air-cooled (AC)) and aged at 1000 °C and 1100 °C for 1,
4, and 16 hours, respectively. The results indicate that the kinetics of lamellae to equiaxed transformation depends on alloy
chemistry, aging time, and temperature. The Nb decreases and Mo increases the kinetics of transformation. The combined effect
of Nb and Mo results in the highest volume fraction of equiaxed microstructure at a given aging time and temperature. The
results have been discussed in relation to microstructural features and have been compared with those reported in other α
2+ γ alloys. 相似文献

The tensile behavior of Ti-Al-Nb alloys with Al concentrations between 12 and 26 at. pct and Nb concentrations between 22
and 38 at. pct has been investigated for temperatures between 25 °C and 650 °C. Several microstructural features were evaluated
in an attempt to identify microstructure-property relationships. In particular, the effects of the phase volume fraction,
composition, morphology, and grain size were examined. In addition, the constitutive properties were evaluated using single-phase
microstructures, and the results provided insight into the microstructure-property relationships of the two-phase orthorhombic
(O)+body-centered-cubic (bcc) microstructures. The disordered fully-bcc ( β) Ti-12Al-38Nb microstructure, produced through heat treatment above the β-transus, exhibited a room-temperature (RT) elongation of more than 27 pct and the lowest yield strength (YS-553 MPa) of all
the alloys studied. The ordered fully-bcc (B2) microstructures, produced through supertransus heat treatment of near-Ti 2AlNb alloys, exhibited fracture strengths up to 672 MPa and low elongations-to-failure ( ε
f≤0.6 pct). Thus, increasing the Al content, which favors ordering of the bcc structure, significantly reduces the ductility
of the bcc phase. Similar to the ordered B2 microstructure, the ordered fully-O Ti 2AlNb microstructures exhibited intermediate RT strength (≤704 MPa) and ε
f (≤1 pct). The O+bcc microstructures tended to exhibit strengths greater than both the fully-O and fully-bcc microstructures,
and this was attributed to the finer grain sizes in the two-phase microstructures compared to their single-phase counterparts.
A RT of 1125 MPa was measured for the finest-grained two-phase microstructure. The O+bcc microstructures containing greater
bcc-phase volume fractions tended to exhibit greater elongations yet poorer elevated-temperature strengths. A higher Al content
typically resulted in larger elevated-temperature strengths. For the Ti-12Al-38Nb bcc-dominated microstructures, fine O platelets,
which precipitated during aging, provided significant strengthening and a reduction in ε
f for the Ti-12Al-38Nb alloy. However, large RT elongations ( ε
f>12 pct) were maintained for aged Ti-12Al-38Nb microstructures, which contained 28 vol pct O phase. Morphology did not appear
to play a dominant role, as fully-lath and fully-equiaxed two-phase microstructures containing the same phase volume fractions
exhibited similar RT tensile properties. The slip and cracking observations provided evidence for the ductile and brittle
characteristics of the single-phase microstructures, and the slip compatibility exhibited between the two phases is an important
part of why O+bcc microstructures achieve attractive strengths and elongations. The YS vs temperature behavior is discussed in light of other Ti-alloy systems. 相似文献

Processing of two-phase γ-TiAl alloys (Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb, or minor modifications thereof) above the α-transus temperature ( T
α
) produced unique refined-colony/ultrafine lamellar structures in both powder-and ingot-metallurgy (PM and IM, respectively)
alloys. These ultrafine lamellar structures consist of fine laths of the γ and α
2 phases, with average interlamellar spacings ( λ
L
) of 100 to 200 nm and α
2- α
2 spacings ( λ
α
) of 200 to 500 nm, and are dominated by γ/α
2 interfaces. This characteristic microstructure forms by extruding PM Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb alloys at 1400 °C and also forms with
finer colony size but slightly coarser, fully lamellar structures by hot-extruding similar IM alloys. Alloying additions of
B and W refine λ
L
and λ
α
in both IM Ti-47Al (cast and heat treated at 1400 °C) and IM Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb alloys (extruded at 1400 °C). The ultrafine
lamellar structure in the PM alloy remains stable during heat treatment at 900 °C for 2 hours but becomes unstable after 4
hours at 982 °C; the ultrafine lamellar structure remains relatively stable after aging for >5000 hours at 800 °C. Additions
of B+W dramatically improve the coarsening resistance of λ
L
and λ
α
in the IM Ti-47Al alloys aged for 168 hours at 1000 °C. In both the PM and IM Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb alloys, these refined-colony/ultrafine
lamellar structures correlate with high strength and good ductility at room temperature, and very good strength at high temperatures.
While refining the colony size improves the room-temperature ductility, alloys with finer λ
L
are stronger at both room and high temperatures. Additions of B + W produce finer as-processed λ
L
and λ
α
in IM TiAl alloys and stabilize such structures during heat treatment or aging.

Refining experiments were conducted to evaluate the grain refining performance of an Al-5Ti-0.25C refiner before and after
equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) with the use of a high-purity Al. The results show that the Al-5Ti-0.25C refiner has
remarkable and stable grain refining performance when the holding times are within 5 to 30 minutes and the melt temperatures
are within 1003 to 1073 K. Furthermore, some Al-5Ti-0.25C refiner samples were subjected to severe plastic deformation by
using the ECAP technique at 298 K. It was found that Al 3Ti and TiC particles were significantly fragmented and their mean sizes were decreased to 10 and 1.08 μm, respectively, and the Al-5Ti-0.25C refiner appeared to have a double grain refining effect in comparison with that of before
ECAP. It is also testified that the Vickers microhardness (Hv) value of the pure Al samples refined by the Al-5Ti-0.25C refiner
after ECAP processing has a significant increment than that of before ECAP processing. It is concluded that the Al-5Ti-0.25C
refiner with ECAP technique has a very useful practical application in refining industrial Al alloys. 相似文献

Evaluations of the (infrared)-brazed Ti-6Al-4V and niobium joints using three silver-base braze alloys have been extensively
studied. According to the dynamic wetting angle measurement results, the niobium substrate cannot be effectively wetted by
all three braze alloys. Because the dissolution of Ti-6Al-4V substrate causes transport of Ti into the molten braze, the molten
braze dissolved with Ti can effectively wet the niobium substrate during brazing. For infrared-brazed Ti-6Al-4V/Ag/Nb joint,
it is mainly comprised of the Ag-rich matrix. The TiAg reaction layer is observed at the interface between the braze and Ti-6Al-4V
substrate. In contrast, Ti-rich, Ag-rich, and interfacial TiAg phases are found in the furnace-brazed specimen. The dominated
Ti-rich phase in the joint is caused by enhanced dissolution between the molten braze and Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The infrared-brazed
Ti-6Al-4V/72Ag-28Cu/Nb joint is mainly comprised of the Ag-rich matrix and Ag-Cu eutectic. With increasing the brazing temperature
or time, the amount of Ag-Cu eutectic is decreased, and the interfacial Cu-Ti reaction layer(s) is increased. The infrared
brazed joint has the highest average shear strength of 224.1 MPa. The averaged shear strength of the brazed joint is decreased
with increasing brazing temperature or time, and its fracture location changes from the braze alloy into the interfacial reaction
layer(s) due to excessive growth of the Cu-Ti intermetallics. The infrared-brazed Ti-6Al-4V/95Ag-5Al/Nb joint is composed
of Ag-rich matrix and TiAl interfacial reaction layer. With increasing the brazing time, the amount of Ag-rich phase is greatly
decreased, and the interfacial reaction layer becomes Ti 3Al due to enhanced dissolution of Ti-6Al-4V substrate into the molten braze. The average shear strength of the infrared-brazed
joint is 172.8 MPa. Additionally, the existence of an interfacial Ti 3Al reaction layer significantly deteriorates the shear strength of the furnace-brazed specimen. 相似文献

The oxidation resistance of Ti-Al intermetallics is superior to many of their counterparts at high temperatures. High-temperature
stability of these intermetallics appears to improve with a ternary alloying addition such as Mo, Nb, etc. A detailed analysis of oxidation of the Ti 3Al intermetallics, Ti 3Al-2.9 at. pct Mo and Ti 3Al-1.1 at. pct Nb, in pure oxygen using crystallographic and microscopic techniques is presented here. The alloy containing
1.1 at. pct Nb did not show an improvement in oxidation resistance over the base alloy but that containing 2.9 at. pct Mo
showed marked resistance to oxidation. Activation energies of oxidation for both the alloys were comparable with those reported
in the literature for similar compositions. TiO 2 and Al 2O 3 were the major phases present in the oxide scales of the oxidized alloys. The crystal orientations from the X-ray diffraction
(XRD) patterns and the morphologies from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were in good agreement and were helpful in further
analysis of the oxidation process. The effective diffusion of oxygen in the oxide layers was calculated using the mole fraction
of individual oxide and the diffusivity of oxygen in pure oxide. The activation energy for the effective diffusion of oxygen
through the oxide layers was determined to be ~24 kJ/mol. The activation energy for the oxidation process was higher than
that of the diffusion of oxygen. Hence, it can be concluded that the oxidation process in both the alloys studied is not diffusion
controlled. 相似文献

The present investigations focused on the thermal oxidation of two variants of MAR-M246 alloy having the same contents of Ta and Nb in at. pct, considering the effects of total replacement of Ta by Nb. The alloys were produced by investment casting using high purity elements in induction furnace under vacuum atmosphere. The alloys were oxidized pseudo-isothermally at 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C up to 1000 hours under lab air. Protective oxidation products growing on the surface of the oxidized samples were mainly Al2O3, Cr2O3. Other less protective oxide such as spinels (NiCr2O4 and CoCr2O4) and TiO2 were also detected as oxidation products. The conventional alloy exhibited slight internal oxidation at 800 °C and an enhanced resistance at 900 °C and 1000 °C. The Nb-modified alloy presented an exacerbated internal oxidation and nitridation at 900 °C and 1000 °C and an enhanced resistance at 800 °C. At 1000 °C, Nb-modified alloy was particularly affected by excessive spalling as the main damage mechanisms. From a kinetic point of view, both alloys exhibit the same behavior at 800 °C and 900 °C, with kp values typical of alumina forming alloys (2 × 10−14 to 3.6 × 10−13 g2 cm−4 s−1). However, Ta modified alloys exhibited superior oxidation resistance at 1000 °C when compared to the Nb modified alloy due to better adherence of the protective oxide scale. 相似文献

This article reports the results of an experimental study of the effects of temperature (25 °C, 450 °C, and 700 °C) on the
fatigue crack growth behavior of three near-commercial cast gamma titanium aluminide alloys (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb, Ti-47Al-2Mn-2Nb+0.8
pct TiB 2, and Ti-45Al-2Mn-2Nb+0.8 pct TiB 2). The trends in the fatigue crack growth rate data are explained by considering the combined effects of crack-tip deformation
mechanisms and oxide-induced crack closure. Faster fatigue crack growth rates at 450 °C are attributed to the high incidence
of irreversible deformation-induced twinning, while slower crack growth rates at 700 °C are due to increased deformation by
slip and the effects of oxide-induced crack closure. 相似文献

Quaternary additions of 2 at. pct of Ta or Zr were made to the ternary Ti-44Al- xNb ( X=9 and 11) alloys to study the oxidation behavior at 900 °C, 950 °C, and 1000 °C for a period of 1 week. The Ta addition improves
the oxidation resistance, while it is degraded by Zr compared to the ternary alloys. Identification of the oxides formed in
the scale has been characterized by energy-dispersive atomic X-ray (EDAX) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The transmission
electron microscope (TEM) analysis of the microstructures developed during oxidation has been compared with Ti-44Al- xNb alloys in order to determine the influence of quaternary additions of Ta and Zr on the phase transformations taking place
during the extended period of heating. The formation of spotty α
2 in the isolated γ grains appears to be associated with the inferior oxidation resistance of xNb2Zr alloys.

The effects of annealing in the α + γ and α 2 + γ phase fields on the microstructures and fracture properties of Ti-48A1 and Ti-49Al-3.4Nb are discussed in this article.
Annealing of the niobium-containing alloy in the α 2 + γ phase field results in the precipitation of ⇌ 2 and Nb 5Si 3 predominantly at the grain boundaries. The precipitation decrease the grain boundary cohesion, thereby promoting intergranular
separation. Precipitation also decreases the tensile strength and ductility of Ti-49Al-3.4Nb compared to that of the binary
alloy. The possible role of interfaces in the transmission of slip is also discussed, and micromechanical models are applied
to the prediction of tensile behavior and fracture toughness.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the hypothesis that the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of removable partial dentures (RPD) made from cast titanium alloys can be improved by alloying with low-cost, low-melting elements such as Cu, Al, and Fe using commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V as controls. RPD specimens in the form of rest-shaped, clasp, rectangular-shaped specimens and round-bar tensile specimens were cast using an experimental Ti-5Al-5Cu alloy, Ti-5Al-1Fe, and Ti-1Fe in an Al 2O 3-based investment with a centrifugal-casting machine. The mechanical properties of the alloys were determined by performing tensile tests under a controlled displacement rate. The fatigue life of the RPD specimens was tested by the three-point bending in an MTS testing machine under a cyclic displacement of 0.5 mm. Fatigue tests were performed at 10 Hz at ambient temperature until the specimens failed into two pieces. The tensile data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) and the fatigue life data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (α = 0.05). The experimental Ti-5Al-5Cu alloy showed a significantly higher average fatigue life than that of either CP-Ti or Ti-5Al-1Fe alloy ( p < 0.05). SEM fractography showed that the fatigue cracks initiated from surface grains, surface pores, or hard particles in surface grains instead of the internal casting pores. Among the alloys tested, the Ti-5Al-5Cu alloy exhibited favorable results in fabricating dental appliances with an excellent fatigue behavior compared with other commercial alloys. 相似文献

The effect of the Ti/Al ratio and Cr, Nb, and Hf additions on material factors, such as the grain size, second phase, la tice
parameters and the axial ratio, and on mechanical properties in TiAl-base alloys has been studied. The grain size was decreased
by the deviation from the stoichiometric composition o the Ti-rich side and the addition of the third elements. The Cr element
was contained a little more in Ti 3Al phase than in TiAl phase in two-phase Ti-rich alloys. The lattice parameters, a and c, and the axial ratio, c/a, of the binary alloys varied linearly with decreasing Al content even in the dual-phase region. The Cr addition decreased
the a and c and also c/a. The Nb addition increased weakly the a and c and c/a. On the contrary, the Hf addition increased the a and c but decreased the c/a ratio. In the Cr added alloys, the decrease of volume of a unit cell, due to the substitution of Cr atoms for Ti and Al atoms,
was larger than that expected from the difference of atom sizes. The Nb addition should decrease the volume of a unit cell,
but it increased the volume. The Hf addition caused a larger increase of volume of a unit cell than that expected from the
difference of atom sizes. We suggested that the Cr addition increases and the Nb and Hf additions decrease the bond strength
in TiAl. The deviation from stoichiometry and the addition of third elements caused an increase of work-hardening rate. The
alloys with Ti-rich composition have superior mechanical properties compared to those of alloys vith Al-rich composition.
The Cr addition resulted in high solution hardening, and the Ti-47A1 3Cr (in atomic percent) alloys had the highest fracture
strain of 2.7 pct in all alloys tested. The Nb addition resulted in poor ductility in both Ti- and Al-rich alloys. The Hf
additions to the Ti-rich composition caused better mechanical properties than those of Al-rich alloys. Thi; trend was also
similar to the Nb-added alloys. In the Hf-added alloys, the Ti-49Al-2Hf alloy has rather high ductility of about 2.15 pct.
The effect of structural parameters on mechanical properties was discussed. The smaller grain size and the smaller axial ratio
tended to result in larger ductility. The increase of the bond strength might improve ductility.

To further improve the mechanical properties of a Ti-22Al-27Nb (mol pct) alloy, based on the ordered orthorhombic Ti 2AlNb (O phase), a TiB particulate-reinforced Ti-22Al-27Nb matrix composite was prepared using the gas-atomized powder metallurgy
method. Because of the rapid solidification during the gas atomization process, the TiB particulates dispersed in the composite
were extremely fine, with an average diameter of less than 1 μm and lengths ranging up to 5 μm. This composite (PM composite) showed higher tensile and high-cycle-fatigue properties at room temperature than both an
unreinforced Ti-22Al-27Nb matrix alloy and a Ti-22Al-27Nb/TiB composite produced using a conventional ingot metallurgy method
(IM composite) with relatively coarse (average diameter 5 μm and average length 40 μm) TiB particulates. These coarse TiB particulates in the IM composite were thought to provide only classical composite strengthening
effects. On the other hand, the fine TiB particulates in the PM composite showed additional effects, such as blocking the
movement of dislocations. 相似文献

This article presents a detailed assessment of microwave (MW) heating, isothermal sintering, and the resulting tensile properties of commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti), Ti-6Al-4V, and Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (wt pct), by comparison with those fabricated by conventional vacuum sintering. The potential of MW sintering for titanium fabrication is evaluated accordingly. Pure MW radiation is capable of heating titanium powder to ≥1573 K (1300 °C), but the heating response is erratic and difficult to reproduce. In contrast, the use of SiC MW susceptors ensures rapid, consistent, and controllable MW heating of titanium powder. MW sintering can consolidate CP-Ti and Ti alloys compacted from ?100 mesh hydride-dehydride (HDH) Ti powder to ~95.0 pct theoretical density (TD) at 1573 K (1300 °C), but no accelerated isothermal sintering has been observed over conventional practice. Significant interstitial contamination occurred from the Al 2O 3-SiC insulation–susceptor package, despite the high vacuum used (≤4.0 × 10 ?3 Pa). This leads to erratic mechanical properties including poor tensile ductility. The use of Ti sponge as impurity (O, N, C, and Si) absorbers can effectively eliminate this problem and ensure good-to-excellent tensile properties for MW-sintered CP-Ti, Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al, and Ti-6Al-4V. The mechanisms behind various observations are discussed. The prime benefit of MW sintering of Ti powder is rapid heating. MW sintering of Ti powder is suitable for the fabrication of small titanium parts or titanium preforms for subsequent thermomechanical processing. 相似文献

This article presents the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the effects of loading rate (1, 10,
and 100 MPa√m · s −1) on the resistance-curve behavior and toughening in cast lamellar gamma-based titanium aluminides (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb, Ti-45Al-2Mn-2Nb
+ 0.8 vol pct TiB 2, and Ti-47Al-2Mn-2Nb + 0.8 vol pct TiB 2). Note that compositions are quoted in at. pct unless stated otherwise. The fracture-initiation toughness and resistance-curve
behavior in Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb are shown to be similar at the three loading rates examined. In the case of the Mn-containing
alloys, stronger resistance-curve behavior is observed as the loading rate increases from 1 to 10 MPa√m · s −1. However, the fracture-initiation toughness and resistance-curve behavior of the Mn-containing alloys are similar at loading
rates of 10 and 100 MPa√m · s −1. The observed resistance-curve behavior is attributed largely to the role of ligament bridging and, to a lesser extent, to
the effects of cracktip plasticity. Small- and large-scale bridging models are also shown to predict the measured resistance
curves when the observed/measured bridging parameters and material properties are used in the micromechanical modeling of
crack bridging. The implications of the results are also discussed for the design of damage-tolerant gamma alloys and microstructures. 相似文献

The as-solidified microstructures of Zr 3Al-Nb alloys with varying Nb concentration, viz., Zr 3Al, Zr 3Al-3Nb, and Zr 3Al-10Nb, have been investigated and the phases occurring in these alloys have been identified in terms of their crystal symmetry
and their chemical compositions. The formation of various phases is influenced by solute partitioning. With increasing Nb
concentration, the extent of solute partitioning increases, resulting in formation of new metastable phases. The phases that
solidify first are rich in Al and lean in Nb, whereas the phases that solidify last are rich in Nb and lean in Al. The formation
of these phases has been explained in terms of the driving force for nucleation. For this purpose, the free energy for nucleation
has been computed for all pertinent binary intermetallics phases by using thermodynamic data available in the literature.
Using solution thermodynamics, it has also been shown that the liquid phase in the Zr-Al-Nb system should exhibit a miscibility
gap, and the boundaries of the miscibility gap have been estimated by invoking the regular solution model. 相似文献

The feasibility of developing hydrogen-tolerant microstructures for α 2 titanium aluminide alloys by heat treatment has been investigated. In particular, a variety of microstructures for the Ti-24Al-11Nb
(in atomic percent) alloy was developed by manipulating the heat-treatment conditions. After screening by the Vicker hardness
tests, three microstructures were evaluated for their resistance to hydrogen embrittlement by performing sustained load creep
tests in a gaseous hydrogen environment at an elevated temperature, followed by post-creep, slow-rate tensile tests at room
temperature. Tensile tests of hydrogen-exposed specimens without prior creep exposure were also performed. The results indicate
that one particular microcstructure of the Ti-24Al-11Nb alloy is resistant to hydrogen embrittlement under the test conditions
and hydrogen contents investigated, providing evidence that heat-treatment techniques can be used to develop hydrogentolerant
microstructures for α 2 titanium aluminide alloys. 相似文献

Ti-Al-Nb ternary powder mixtures containing 24Al-11Nb, 25Al-25Nb, 37.5Al-12.5Nb, and 28.5Al-23.9Nb (at. pct) were mechanically
alloyed in a SPEX 8000 mixer mill using a ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1. The structural evolution in these alloys was
investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques. A solid solution of Al and Nb in Ti was
formed at an early stage of milling, followed by the B2/body-centered cubic (bec) and amorphous phases at longer milling times.
The stability of these phases and their transformation to other phases have been investigated by heat treating these powders
at different temperatures. The B2/bcc phase transformed into an orthorhombic (O-Ti 2AlNb) or a mixture of the orthorhombic (O) and hexagonal close-packed (α 2-Ti 3Al) phases, the proportion of phases being dependent on the powder composition. Milling beyond the amorphous phase formation
resulted in the formation of an fee phase in all the powders, which appears to be TiN, formed as a result of contamination
of the powder.
