采用放电等离子烧结（SPS）制备了含YbB₆的Ti-6Al-4V钛合金,并研究了YbB₆对Ti-6Al-4V钛合金显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,随着YbB₆含量的增加,复合材料的显微组织发生转变,晶粒明显细化,原位反应生成的TiB晶须和Yb₂O₃颗粒有利于复合材料力学性能的提高。此外,当添加0.6%（质量分数）YbB₆后,烧结样品的相对密度、显微硬度、屈服强度、极限拉伸强度和延伸率分别为99.43%、4030 MPa、903 MPa、1148 MPa和3.3%。与Ti-6Al-4V试样相比,其数值分别提高了0.37%、13.8%、38.07%和17.14%。强化机制主要是组织转变、晶粒细化和弥散强化。随着YbB₆含量的增加,断裂方式主要为韧性断裂和脆性断裂。     

Microstructure characteristics of Ti3Al/TiC ceramic layer deposited by laser cladding

Al + TiC laser cladding coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by CO₂ laser cladding technique. The microstructure, micro-hardness and phase constitutes of the laser cladding layer were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microsclermeter. The results indicated that the laser cladding layer solidified into the fine microstructure rapidly, and TiC hard phase was dispersived in the cladding layer. When the mass percent of TiC was 40%, the micro-hardness (1100HV_0.2-1250HV_0.2) of Al + TiC cladding layer was 3 times more than that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate (350-370HV_0.2). The cladding layer mainly consisted of α-Ti (Al), β-Al (Ti), Ti₃Al, TiAl, Al₃Ti and TiC phase. There phases were beneficial to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the cladding layer.     

Microstructure and properties of WC reinforced Ni-based composite coatings with Y2O3 addition on titanium alloy by laser cladding

ABSTRACT

In this study, WC reinforced Ni-based composite coatings with Y₂O₃ addition were deposited on Ti-6Al-4V titanium substrate by laser cladding. The phases, microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance of the composite coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, microhardness tester and wear tester. The results showed that good metallurgical bonding was achieved between the composite coatings and substrate. The phases mainly were γ-Ni, TiC, TiB₂, Ni₃B, M₂₃C₆ and WC. Most of the WC was dissolved in small pieces of WC during the laser cladding process. The microhardness of the composite coatings was about 3 times that of the titanium substrate and the wear resistance of the composite coatings had a significant increase.     

Ti-6Al-4V合金表面激光熔覆TiAlSi+xB4C涂层的组织及耐磨性

利用激光熔覆在Ti-6Al-4V合金表面制备了TiAlSi+xB₄C涂层,分析比较不同B₄C含量对于涂层显微组织、显微硬度和耐磨性能的影响。结果表明:B₄C含量不同,涂层中的物相种类差别不大;涂层的微观形貌由颗粒状晶、层状晶、胞状晶和短棒状晶组成;不同B₄C含量涂层的显微硬度分布趋势大致相同,与基材相比均有明显的提高,随着B₄C含量的增高,整体上涂层显微硬度逐渐增大,当B₄C的含量为8%时,涂层的显微硬度最高,达到1216 HV0.1,约为基体的4.2倍;而当B₄C含量过高时,涂层硬度降低,且涂层中出现微裂纹。通过磨损试验表明,不同B₄C含量的涂层耐磨损性能均明显的优于Ti-6Al-4V合金基体,含8%B₄C的涂层磨损量最小。熔覆不同含量B₄C的涂层明显改善了基体Ti-6Al-4V合金的表面性能。     

Effect of Microstructural Variation on Dry Sliding Wear Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

The present article evaluates the influence of independent control factors such as microstructural variation, normal load, sliding velocity, and test duration on dry sliding wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at room temperature using a statistical approach. Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been heat treated in a controlled manner in order to produce different microstructural features (i.e., lamellar, bimodal, and equiaxed). Lamellar microstructure is found to be harder than bimodal microstructure followed by equiaxed microstructure in Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Dry sliding wear tests have been carried out using a multiple Tribo tester following a well planned experimental schedule based on Taguchi’s L₉ orthogonal array design. Dry sliding wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy consisting of various microstructural features is related to their hardness values. Results indicated that lamellar microstructure has the lowest sliding wear resistance followed by bimodal and equiaxed microstructure. With the help of signal-to-noise ratios, optimal combination of control factors to minimize the dry sliding wear in Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been determined. Normal load is the most significant control factor influencing the dry sliding wear behavior of investigated Ti-6Al-4V alloy followed by sliding velocity, test duration, and microstructural variation. Normal load has greater static influence of 27.02%, sliding velocity has an influence of 18.07%, test duration has an influence of 12.71%, and microstructural variation has an influence of 10.55% on weight loss of Ti-6Al-4V alloy due to wear having R ² = 0.89. Two wear mechanisms have been identified: oxidative wear occurs at the lowest sliding velocity and delamination wear occurs at the highest sliding velocity. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and Rockwell hardness measurements have been used to characterize the microstructures in order to correlate the results obtained.     

Effect of Annealing Treatments on the Microstructure,Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Direct Metal Laser Sintered Ti-6Al-4V

An experimental investigation on the effects of post-annealing treatments on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of direct metal laser sintered Ti-6Al-4V alloys has been conducted. The microstructure and phase evolution as affected by annealing treatment temperature were examined through scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The tensile properties and Vickers hardness were measured and compared to the commercial Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Corrosion behavior of the parts was analyzed electrochemically in simulated body fluid at 37 °C. It was found out that the as-printed parts mainly composed of non-equilibrium α′ phase. Annealing treatment allowed the transformation from α′ to α phase and the development of β phase. The tensile test results indicated that post-annealing treatment could improve the ductility and decrease the strength. The as-printed Ti-6Al-4V part exhibits inferior corrosion resistance compared to the commercial alloy, and post-annealing treatment can reduce its susceptibility to corrosion by reducing the two-phase interface area.

不同SPS烧结温度Ti-45Al-5.5(Cr,Nb,B,Ta)合金的显微组织及力学性能(英文)

采用高能球磨和放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术,制备成分为Ti-45Al-5.5(Cr,Nb,B,Ta)的TiAl合金块体,随后对TiAl合金进行热处理。研究在不同SPS烧结温度下制备的TiAl合金经过热处理后的显微组织和力学性能。结果表明:高能球磨后的合金粉末形状不规则,粉末颗粒尺寸大约为几十微米。XRD分析表明,机械球磨后的粉末由TiAl和Ti3Al两相组成;烧结后的Ti-45Al-5.5(Cr,Nb,B,Ta)合金块体主要是TiAl相,以及少量的Ti3Al和TiB2相。当烧结温度为900°C和1000°C时,合金的显微组织为双相结构,并伴随有一些细小的等轴γ晶粒和细小的针状TiB2相。当烧结温度从900°C上升到1000°C时,Ti-45Al-5.5(Cr,Nb,B,Ta)合金的显微硬度变化不大,抗压强度从1812MPa提高到2275MPa,压缩率从22.66%增加到25.59%,合金的断裂方式为穿晶断裂。     

Brazing of 6061 aluminum alloy/Ti-6Al-4V using Al-Si-Cu-Ge filler metals

Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge and mixed rare-earth elements (Re) containing Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge-0.1Re filler metals were used for brazing of 6061 aluminum alloy/Ti-6Al-4V. The addition of 20 wt.% copper and 10 wt.% germanium into the Al-12Si filler metal lowered the solidus temperature from 586 °C to 489 °C and the liquidus temperature from 592 °C to 513 °C. The addition of 0.1 wt.% rare-earth elements into Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge alloy caused remarkable Al-rich phase refinement and transformed the needle-like Al₂Cu intermetallic compounds into block-like shapes. Shear strengths of the 6061 aluminum alloy/Ti-6Al-4V joints with the two brazing filler metals, Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge and Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge-0.1Re, varied insignificantly with brazing periods of 10-60 min. The average shear strength of the 6061 aluminum alloy/Ti-6Al-4V joints brazed with Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge at 530 °C was about 20 MPa. Rare-earth elements appeared to improve the reaction of the Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge filler metal with Ti-6Al-4V. The joint shear strength of the 6061 aluminum alloy/Ti-6Al-4V with Al-8.4Si-20Cu-10Ge-0.1Re reached about 51 MPa.     

放电等离子烧结Ti-43Al-9V合金显微组织和力学性能(英文)

采用机械合金化和放电等离子烧结工艺制备细晶Ti-43Al-9V合金,研究不同烧结温度与显微组织和力学性能之间的关系。结果表明:机械球磨后粉末形状规则,尺寸在5～30μm之间,烧结所得块体材料主要由γ-TiAl、α2-Ti3Al和少量B2相组成。烧结温度为1150°C时,获得的等轴晶粒尺寸为300nm～1μm。烧结温度升高到1250°C时,等轴晶粒的尺寸明显增大,显微硬度从HV592降低到HV535,抗弯强度从605降低到219MPa,压缩断裂强度从2601降低到1905MPa,压缩率从28.95%降低到12.09%。     

Sintering properties of Ti-6Al-4V-xMo powder prepared by addition of Mo to Ti-6Al-4V scraps and subsequent pulverization

In this study, the sintering properties of Ti-6Al-4V-xMo powder prepared by an addition of Mo to Ti-6Al-4V scraps and subsequent pulverization were investigated. As the content of Mo added to Ti-6Al-4V scraps as a β stabilizer increased, the weight ratio of the α and β stabilizers in the Ti-6Al-4V-xMo changed and the original weight ratio of 6:4 varied to 5.71:8.57 when 5 wt% xMo was added. In order to compare the difference in properties of Ti-6Al-4V-xMo ingots with sintered bodies of the Ti-6Al-4V-xMo powder, we prepared sintered bodies from Ti-6Al-4V-xMo powder with an O content of about 5000 ppm and 325 mesh size. As a result, it was found that the sintered bodies of Ti-6Al-4V-xMo powder showed different properties of density and micro hardness compared to the Ti-6Al-4V-xMo ingots. These differences can be explained by the larger specific surface area of the sintered bodies, which formed a porous oxide layer on the surface due to the increase of Mo in the β zone of the Ti-6Al-4V alloys.     

Effect of nitriding-sulfurizing composite treatment on the tribological behavior of titanium alloys

A composite layer was prepared on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by nitriding-sulfurizing composite treatment, and its microstructure and phase structure were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The tribological performance was measured to investigate its dependence on the nitriding-sulfurizing composite treatment process. The results indicated that the composite layer was mainly comprised of Ti₂N, TiN, and TiS₂. It was found that the composite layer exhibited superior tribological properties under dry friction and absolute sliding conditions due to the formation of sulfides with self-lubricating function.     

Corrosion resistance properties of plasma nitrided Ti-6Al-4V alloy in nitric acid solutions

The corrosion resistance of plasma nitrided Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy in nitric acid solutions was investigated using polarisation curves, cyclic voltammetry, XRD analysis and surface microhardness. For comparison, untreated alloy samples were tested under the same conditions. While the untreated alloy shows a passive behaviour, the compound layer obtained by glow-discharge nitriding treatment, which is composed of an outer TiN and an inner Ti₂N layer, shows a high electrochemical inertia; however, if the polarisation potential is higher than a threshold or the period of immersion in high oxidising acid solution is sufficiently long, then the compound surface layer will be attacked and removed with corrosion rate higher than in the case of the untreated Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The corrosion resistance of Ti₂N layer results higher in comparison with that of TiN layer.     

Influence of melt hydrogenation during induction skull melting process on the solidification microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

A new method to modify the solidification microstructure of titanium alloys, named melt hydrogenation, by adding TiH2 as additive into the melt of titanium alloys during induction skull melting process (ISM), is put forward and the refining effect of this method on the solidification microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied experimentally. After melt hydrogenation, the grain sizes of as-cast Ti-6Al-4V alloy decreased to 612 μm from 1,072 μm, lath-shaped α phase was also refined and fine α/β lamellar microstructure was formed when 1.0 wt.% TiH2 was added. δ-hydride was found in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of Ti-6Al-4V alloy that prepared with 1.0 wt.% TiH2 added and the δ-hydride distributes in α phase as acicular precipitations.

采用光学显微镜、透射电镜和拉伸试验等手段,研究了多道次两向轧制和单向轧制对不同原始状态(热轧态、水淬态和空冷态)Ti-6Al-4V合金显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,热轧态Ti-6Al-4V合金的组织为片状α相+β相+少量等轴α相,水淬态Ti-6Al-4V合金形成了针状马氏体组织,空冷态Ti-6Al-4V合金形成了网状组织。Ti-6Al-4V合金适宜的两向轧制温度为700 ℃,此时合金中可见颗粒状β相弥散分布在α基体上。两向轧制Ti-6Al-4V合金的抗拉强度和屈服强度从高至低顺序为:水淬态>热轧态>空冷态,且轧向强度要高于横向;相较于单向轧制,两向轧制明显降低了Ti-6Al-4V合金板材拉伸性能的各向异性,且水淬态Ti-6Al-4V合金的轧向和横向强度差异最小,700 ℃轧制Ti-6Al-4V合金的主要细化机制为位错细化。     

Titanium alloys after surface gas nitriding

Experimental studies using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for nitriding of four titanium-alloys near α Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V, near α Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, α + β Ti-6Al-4V and near β Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al at different temperatures and for different periods of time are presented. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was used in order to study the phase transformations that occur during gas nitriding. As a result of the nitrogen interaction, a nitrided layer was formed that consists of titanium nitrides, followed by an interstitial solution of nitrogen in the hcp α titanium phase. The microstructural changes of these alloys in relation to the alloy composition and processing parameters were studied. It was found that the microstructure of alloys nitrided at temperatures below their β transus temperatures for various periods of time is uniform and homogeneous. With the increase of the temperature above their β transus temperatures the microstructure changes to irregular. Microindentation hardness testing using a Knoop indenter was conducted on the nitrided titanium alloys to analyse their hardness evolution in relation to the nitriding processing parameters and alloy composition. It was found that the microhardness increases with the increase of the temperature and time of nitriding. The surface morphology of the Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo alloy in relation to the nitriding processing parameters was analysed.

目的 使Ti-6Al-4V能更好地应用于海洋领域.方法 采用快速多重旋转碾压技术(FMRR)对Ti-6Al-4V表面进行冷变形处理,研究其力学性能.然后,对其进行低温等离子渗氮,渗氮温度为550℃,保温时间4 h.利用高分辨透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)和电子显微硬度计等测试设备,对FMRR处理后的Ti-6Al-4V表层组织结构和性能以及等离子渗氮处理后表层组织结构进行表征.结果 经15、30、45 min的FMRR处理后,Ti-6Al-4V表层晶粒细化并获得了纳米结构,对应的平均晶粒尺寸为65～90、45～70和20～40 nm.此时,晶界明显增多,局部存在孪晶、小角度晶界和高密度位错等结构缺陷,电子衍射环连续.同时,Ti-6Al-4V表层结构未出现新相,晶粒细化导致衍射峰略有变宽,也提高了Ti-6Al-4V表面的显微硬度,显微硬度为325～453HV,比处理前提高了约41％.FMRR预处理的试样经过低温等离子渗氮后,基体表面的渗氮层主要包括白色化合物层和过渡层两个区域.结论 FMRR处理为后续低温渗氮提供了能量条件和结构条件,提高了渗氮的速度,最终的渗氮层厚度约为100μm.     

Phase constituents and mechanical properties of laser in-situ synthesized TiCN/TiN composite coating on Ti-6Al-4V

Laser in-situ synthesis technology at room temperature was applied to obtain TiCN/TiN composite coating. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm) was used to melt the mixture of Ti and C powder. Pure nitrogen gas with a pressure of 0.4 MPa was introduced coaxially together with laser beam to the melting pool to react with Ti and C atoms and in-situ synthesize TiCN/TiN composite coating. The coating consists of TiC_0.3N_0.7, TiN and TiN_0.3, but the proportions of these three constituents vary with the laser power density. SEM results revealed that dendrites were oriented in accordance with the heat flow and a metallurgical bonding between the coating and the substrate was achieved. The in-situ synthesized TiCN/TiN composite coating, with a thickness of about 200 μm, increased the hardness and wear resistance compared to the bare Ti-6Al-4V substrate. A remarkable improvement of the average microhardness (3-4 times) and an enhancement of the wear resistance (10-11 times) are observed by laser in-situ synthesizing TiCN/TiN composite coating.     

Comparison of molybdenizing and NiCrAlY coating on Ti and Ti-6Al-4V

Two surface treatments, molybdenizing and depositing NiCrAlY coating, were applied to improve the microhardness and the oxidation resistance of titanium and Ti-6Al-4V. Coupons were analyzed using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Vickers hardness and isothermal oxidation tests were carried out to evaluate the effects of these two surface treatments on the microhardness and oxidation resistance of the substrates. The post vacuum heat treatment of the NiCrAlY coating and the molybdenizing parameters were also discussed. It is found that molybdenizing can obviously increase the surface hardness of titanium due to the formation of β, α″, and α′ phases in the diffusion layer. As γ′ phase is formed after vacuum heat treatment, the NiCrAlY coating is effective in improving the surface hardness of Ti-6Al-4V. The NiCrAlY coating can obviously decrease the oxidation rate of Ti-6Al-4V at 700–900°C, which can be attributed to the formation of Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ mixed scale during the oxidation.
