高温钛合金中杂质元素Fe的扩散行为及其对蠕变抗力的损害作用

高温钛合金是先进航空发动机压气机应用的理想材料,代替钢或镍基高温合金,可以显著提高发动机的推重比和服役性能.随着钛合金使用温度的提高,高温蠕变抗力越来越成为影响其使用温度和使用寿命最关键的力学性能.在400～600℃的温度范围内,钛合金的蠕变变形一般受位错攀移机制所控制,蠕变激活能近似等于有效扩散激活能,因此,扩散是影响钛合金高温蠕变抗力的最主要因素.杂质元素Fe在钛合金中具有反常大的扩散能力,是Ti自扩散系数的103～105倍,在Ti中的扩散可能受离解扩散机制所控制.钛合金中的微量Fe同时会显著促进Ti的自扩散,提高位错攀移速率,从而降低蠕变抗力.为了改善高温钛合金的蠕变性能,需要严格控制原材料如海绵钛和中间合金中杂质Fe的含量.     

Ti65合金的初级蠕变和稳态蠕变

使用透射电镜(TEM)研究了Ti65合金在600~650℃、120~160 MPa条件下的蠕变变形行为及其微观变形机制。结果表明：初级蠕变变形机制主要由受攀移控制的位错越过α₂相的过程主导;稳态蠕变阶段蠕变机制主要由受界面处扩散控制的位错攀移的过程主导,且应力指数为5~7。在初级蠕变阶段α₂相与位错的相互作用是α₂相对合金高温强化的主要方式,在稳态蠕变阶段沿α/β相界分布的硅化物阻碍位错运动与限制晶界滑移是硅化物对合金强化的主要方式。

Primary and Anelastic Creep of a Near α-Ti Alloy and Their Dependencies on Stress and Temperature

The primary creep behaviour of a high temperature near -Ti alloy Ti6242Si has been investigated in the temperature range from 500 to 625°C, and the stress range from 80 to 450 MPa. The results are analysed in terms of the dependencies of stress on strain (strain hardening) and on strain rate (strain rate sensitivity). Furthermore, full unloading experiments were conducted in order to gain additional information as to the nature of primary creep. It is shown that primary creep can be described by an athermal component, strain hardening, with a mean strain hardening coefficient of 0.37, and a thermally activated component, strain rate sensitivity, with a strain rate sensitivity coefficient suggesting a mechanism based on climb controlled recovery. This is confirmed by the activation energy of 259 kJ/mol determined at different stresses, which is similar to the activation energy of Ti self diffusion in -Ti. The anelastic strain obtained on full unloading was analysed in its fast stage in a similar way. The kinetics of anelastic creep and its activation energy are in many aspects very similar to those of primary creep. It is thought that, in the stress and temperature range investigated, primary creep is to a relatively high extent anelastic in nature, and is controlled by the climb controlled bow out of pinned dislocation segments, particularly dislocations pinned at lath boundaries.     

The high-temperature creep behaviour of an Al-1 wt% Cu solid-solution alloy

The creep behaviour of an Al-1 wt% Cu solid-solution alloy is investigated at a temperature of 813 K under stress range of 0.5–5 MPa. The creep characteristics of the alloy including the stress dependence of the steady-state creep rate (n=4.4), the shape of creep curve (normal primary stage), the transient creep after stress increase, and the value of the true activation energy for creep, suggest that some form of dislocation climb is the rate-controlling process at higher stresses above 1 MPa. However, at low stresses (< 1 MPa), the creep curves show no distinguished steady state, and the stress dependence of the minimum creep rate is as high as ～ 8. The creep behaviour of the alloy is discussed based on recent theories available for describing creep in solid-solution alloys.

Impression creep behavior of Al–1.9%Ni–1.6%Mn–1%Mg alloy

In the present study, microstructure and creep behavior of an Al–1.9%Ni–1.6%Mn–1%Mg alloy were studied at temperature ranging from 493 to 513 K and under stresses between 420 and 530 MPa. The creep test was carried out by impression creep technique in which a flat ended cylindrical indenter was impressed on the specimens. The results showed that microstructure of the alloy is composed of primary α(Al) phase covered by a mantle of α(Al)+Ni₃Al intermetallic compound. Mn segregated into Al_xMn_yNi_z or Al₆Mn phases distributed inside the matrix phase. It was found that the stress exponent, n, decreases from 5.2 to 3.6 with increasing temperature. Creep activation energies between 115 kJ/mol and 151 kJ/mol were estimated for the alloy and it decreases with rising stress. According to the stress exponent and creep activation energies, the lattice and pipe diffusion- climb controlled dislocation creep were the dominant creep mechanism.     

Effect of alloying elements on the creep behavior of high Pb-based solders

This study examines the high temperature creep behavior of several Pb-based alloys. All compositions tested were found to follow power-law dislocation creep in the strain rate range of 10⁻⁹-10⁻³ s⁻¹. Both the stress exponent and activation energy were measured from 298 to 473 K to identify the rate controlling mechanism for creep deformation. Creep of 95Pb-5In, 92.5Pb-5Sn-2.5Ag, 93Pb-3Sn-2Ag-2In was rate limited by dislocation climb from the observed stress exponent. A transition in the controlling climb mechanism from pipe diffusion to lattice diffusion was observed around 0.7T_m. Creep of 90Pb-10Sn was, however, rate limited by viscous solute drag rather than dislocation climb due to the greater concentration of Sn in Pb. The enhancement in self-diffusion of Pb was dependent on the degree of solid solution with solute atoms. The outcome of this work identifies variables related to the alloy elements that control creep behavior of Pb-based alloys used in high temperature applications where traditional solders cannot be used.

Creep behaviour and creep microstructures of a high-temperature titanium alloy Ti–5.8Al–4.0Sn–3.5Zr–0.7Nb–0.35Si–0.06C (Timetal 834): Part I. Primary and steady-state creep

The tensile creep behaviour of the high-temperature near -Ti alloy Ti–5.8Al–4.0Sn–3.5Zr–0.7Nb–0.35Si–0.06C (Timetal 834) with a duplex microstructure has been extensively investigated in the temperature range from 500°C to 625°C and the stress range from 100 to 550 MPa. Both primary and secondary creep are being considered. The results of the primary creep are analysed in terms of the dependencies of stress on strain (strain hardening) and on strain rate (strain rate sensitivity). It is shown that the strain-hardening exponent depends on temperature, and takes values between 0.5 for 500°C and 0.33 for higher temperatures; this would give a dependence of the primary creep strain of σ² and σ³. The strain rate exponents obtained in both primary and secondary creep have been found to be similar; this is also the case for the activation energies. It is thought that, in the stress and temperature range investigated, creep is controlled by bow-out and climb of dislocation segments pinned at lath boundaries and second-phase particle. Analysis of the dislocation substructure is presented to give some support for this mechanism.     

Dislocation network formation during creep in Ni-base superalloy GTD-111

The Ni-base superalloy GTD-111 is used as a blading material in the first stage blades of high power gas turbines. The creep-rupture properties of the cast superalloy were studied over a wide range of temperatures and stresses. The observations of dislocation structures during steady-state creep confirmed that the creep mechanism was different in the high and low stress regions. The results showed that in the high stress region, shear mechanisms including stacking fault formation and anti-phase boundary creation were operative and in the low stress region, a by-passing mechanism occurred by either looping or dislocation climb and glide. With increasing exposure time in the high-temperature low-stress region, dislocations formed networks at γ–γ′ interfaces, as well as inside γ′ particles. The transition in the mode of dislocation–γ′ precipitate interaction from shearing to by-passing was found to depend on creep conditions (stress and temperature) and microstructural characteristic of the alloy. The present paper provides microstructural evidence by means of transmission electron microscopy for a high temperature by-passing mechanism operating in the superalloy GTD-111.     

Compressive Creep Behavior of TiC/AZ91D Magnesium-matrix Composites with Interpenetrating Networks

The 42.1 vol. pct TiC/AZ91D magnesium-matrix composites with interpenetrating networks were fabricated by in-situ reactive infiltration process. The compressive creep behavior of as-synthesized composites was investigated at temperature ranging from 673 to 723 K under loads of 95-108 MPa. For a comparative purpose,the creep behavior of the monolithic matrix alloy AZ91D was also conducted under loads of 15-55 MPa at 548-598 K. The creep mechanisms were theoretically analyzed based on the power-law relation. The results showed that the creep rates of both TiC/AZ91D composites and AZ91D alloy increase with increasing the temperature and load. The TiC/AZ91D composites possess superior creep resistance as compared with the AZ91D alloy. At deformation temperature below 573 K, the stress exponent n of AZ91D alloy approaches theoretical value of 5, which suggests that the creep process is controlled by dislocation climb. At 598 K, the stress exponentof AZ91D is close to 3, in which viscous non-basal slip deformation plays a key role in the process of creep deformation. However, the case differs from that of AZ91D alloy when the stress exponent n of TiC/AZ91D composites exceeds 9, which shows that there exists threshold stress in the creep process of the composites, similar to other types of composites. The average activation energies for the creep of the AZ91D alloy and TiC/AZ91D composites were calculated to be 144 and 152 k J/mol, respectively. The existence of threshold stress in the creep process of the composites leads to an increase in activation energy for creep.
