Ti-6Al-4V合金超塑性变形及微观组织演变

通过高温拉伸试验研究了Ti-6Al-4V合金的高温变形力学行为和超塑性,并对试样断口附近的组织进行了观察。结果表明,随着变形温度的升高或初始应变速率的降低,Ti-6Al-4V合金的流动应力明显减小;Ti-6Al-4V合金的最佳超塑性变形工艺参数为880℃/0.001s-1,最大延伸率为689%,峰值应力仅为30.03MPa;在超塑性拉伸过程中,试样变形区发生明显的动态再结晶,使片层状的α相晶粒破碎、细化和等轴化,促进超塑性的增加;随着变形温度的提高、变形量增大和变形时间的加长,再结晶α相发生了聚集长大,从而使显微组织明显粗化。对于双态组织的两相钛合金,最佳超塑性变形温度应低于或等于片层状α→β转变的终了温度。

研究在Ti6Al4V合金激光冲击成形过程中,不同激光参数对板料弯曲角及表层硬度的影响。结果表明:当激光功率密度小于3GW/cm2时,弯曲角随着激光功率密度线性增加,激光功率密度超过3GW/cm2时,由于表面熔化现象的出现,弯曲角出现减小的趋势;板料弯曲角随冲击次数的增加也呈线性增长,但弯曲阻力的增加使得弯曲角的增长速度逐渐减慢;随着激光功率密度的增加,材料表面冲击区的硬度增高,表面硬化层的显微硬度最高达HV490,硬化层厚度约为1.0mm。

Variation effect of strain rate on microstructure in isothermal compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

Isothermal compression of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy at the deformation temperatures of 950 and 980℃,height reductions of 30％ and 60％,and strain rates of 0.001,0.010,0.100 and 1.000 s-1 was conducted,wherein the variations of microstructure with strain rate were investigated.The experimental results showed that the variation of the microstructure with the strain rate under one condition was significantly different from that under another condition,which meaned that the interaction between the processing parameters was great.The optimization of the strain rate under one condition was not suitable for another condition.Therefore,selecting the forging equipment and optimizing the strain rate should be based on simultaneously considering the deformation temperature and height reduction.     

Ti-6Al-4V合金超塑性变形时的组织演化

利用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对超塑性拉伸后的细晶Ti-6Al-4V合金分别进行了断口形貌分析和组织演化规律研究。结果表明:细晶Ti-6Al-4V合金室温拉伸时,断裂方式为准解理断裂;超塑性拉伸时,试样断裂的主要形式是韧窝-空洞聚集型断裂。在初始应变速率不变的条件下,随着拉伸温度的升高,α相晶粒尺寸增大,β相数量增多,空洞数量减少,且在840℃至930℃拉伸时,α相晶粒仍保持等轴状态,但在较高温度(960℃)拉伸时,α相晶粒被拉长,部分区域出现网篮组织。在拉伸温度不变时,随着初始应变速率的降低,α相晶粒尺寸增大,β相增多,空洞数量减少。高温(960℃以上)拉伸时,β相颗粒具有良好的塑性和较低的硬度,丰富的β相有利于晶界协调滑动,并对空洞的产生具有抑制作用。     

Ti-6Al-4V钛合金相颗粒粗化动力学及形貌变化

以Ti-6Al-4V钛合金为例，研究了韧性双相合金不同温度保时相颗粒变化情况。结果表明，在α相颗粒粗化的同时，还伴随着α相形貌由“短棒状”向等轴状转变。在800℃和600℃保温时，α相颗粒粗化机制均为Al原子从其他α相颗粒中沿晶界或相界以一维扩散的方式转移到粗化的相颗粒上来。α相颗粒形貌的改变，分为两个阶段，第一阶段为颗粒内部物质的转移为主；第二阶段为其他α相颗粒物质沿晶界或相界扩散到颗粒比较短的方向上以使该颗粒等轴化。对于800℃保温，第一阶段为颗粒内部Al原子以晶格扩散的方式转移；600℃时，颗粒内物质的转移则沿晶界或相界以一维扩散为主。     

Ti-6Al-4V合金真空熔炼过程中氧元素的溶解

Multi-rate Superplastic Forming of Fine Grain Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy

Most parts made by superplastic forming (SPF) have been formed at an optimum strain rate. The rate is selected to give the best SPF properties of the material. However, it has been proposed that multi-rate forming, where an initial high strain rate is successively reduced as the part is strained, can be used to make high strain parts in a much shorter time than traditional SPF forming. This paper examines the performance of fine grain Ti-6Al-4V alloy at very high initial strain rates, from 10–30 times faster than usual, with step reductions at prescribed levels of strain that still enables a total strain of over 2.1 (800%) to be achieved without degradation of the material. The paper also shows that the forming time to 100% deformation can be reduced from 55 min to 9 min. This technique can be used by industry to enable faster flow times and lower production costs of SPF parts. This article was presented at the AeroMat Conference, International Symposium on Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming (SPF) held in Seattle, WA, June 6–9, 2005.     

High-temperature corrosion of Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy

Pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V were exposed at 750°C in an H₂/H₂O/H₂S P_{O 2}10^–18 Pa and P_{S 2}10^–1 Pa), H₂/H₂O (P_{O 2}10^–18 Pa) and air environments for up to 240 hr. The corrosion kinetics, obtained by the discontinuous gravimetric method, showed that the sulfidation/oxidation kinetics were linear for Ti and linear-parabolic for Ti-6Al-4V in the H₂/H₂O/H₂S environment. Both materials obeyed parabolic rate laws in the H₂/H₂O atmosphere after a transient period, and linear-parabolic rate laws in air. After exposure to the H₂/H₂O/H₂S atmosphere, the titanium specimen displayed a double scale of TiO₂ with an intervening TiS₂ film between the double-layered scale of TiO₂ and the substrate. Ti-6Al-4V also contained a double layer of TiO₂ together with a stratum consisting of Al₂S₃, TiS₂ and vanadium sulfide at the junction of the inner TiO₂ layer and substrate. Some Al₂O₃ precipitated in the external portion of the outer TiO₂ layer. Following oxidation in the low-P_{O 2} atmosphere a double-layered oxide of TiO₂ scale formed on both Ti and Ti-6Al-4V. The scale on Ti-6Al-4V also contained an -Al₂O₃ film situated between the outer and inner (TiO₂) layers. For both materials, multilayered-scale formation characterized air oxidation. In detail a multilayered oxide scale of TiO₂ formed on the air-oxidized Ti, while a multilayered oxide scale with alternating layers of Al₂O₃/TiO₂ developed on Ti-6Al-4V oxidized in air.     

Ti-6Al-4V合金超塑性变形中的组织演变及变形机制

920℃、应变速率为1×10.3和2×10.4 s.1时,对不同初始晶粒尺寸(2.6、6.5和16.2 μm)的Ti-6Al-4V合金进行超塑性拉伸变形.采用光学显微镜、透射电镜观察变形后的显微组织.结果表明,初始晶粒尺寸的不同对超塑性变形中的组织演变及变形机制有着显著的影响.拉伸变形中晶粒明显粗化,变形诱发晶粒长大是超塑性变形组织的重要特征之一;随着变形程度的增大,应变诱发的晶粒长大显著增大,并且远大于静态长大的增幅.对于细晶粒材料(2.6和6.5 μm),位错运动协调的界面滑动是其变形的主要机制.而对于晶粒较粗的材料(16.2 μm),超塑变形机制是晶界滑动与晶内位错运动的共同作用.随着晶粒尺寸的增大,以晶界滑动为主的变形方式逐渐转向以晶内位错运动为主.     

Ti6Al4V钛合金的变形组织及织构

在温度850~930°C、应变速率0.01~1 s-1的条件下,对初始组织为等轴组织的Ti6Al4V钛合金进行变形程度为70%的热压缩变形实验,研究合金的变形组织及织构。结果表明,当温度低于900°C、应变速率高于0.1 s-1时,合金的组织主要是拉长的α晶粒;而在高于900°C以及低应变速率下,则会发生动态再结晶。电子背散射衍射（EBSD）结果显示,合金在再结晶过程中亚晶界吸收位错,最终形成大角晶界。在930°C时动态再结晶已基本完成,水冷至室温时形成针状α相。与原始组织相比,合金在930°C变形时织构得到增强,低于930°C变形时织构变弱。     

Interrogations on the sub-surface strain hardening of grit blasted Ti-6Al-4V alloy

In this work we characterize the microstructural changes induced by grit blasting of the Ti6Al4V alloy and their effect on the sub-surface mechanical properties by means of micro- and ultramicro indentations techniques. It has been observed that the severe plastic deformation at the surface produces an increase in roughness. Such deformation, however, does not cause any evident hardening at the sub-surface zone, which contrast with the work hardening observed on blasted cp Ti and austenitic stainless steel 316 L. It is proposed that the different behaviour of the Ti-base alloy is related to its lower strain hardening exponent. The implications of the absence of subsurface hardening on the loss of fatigue strength observed by other authors are analysed.     

不同取向对激光快速成形Ti-6Al-4V合金力学性能的影响

采用万能材料试验机系统,对激光快速成形TC4钛合金不同取向圆柱形试样进行准静态压缩试验,使用光学显微镜、扫描电镜、XRD等分析手段,研究不同取向对其力学性能的影响。结果表明:不同取向激光快速成形TC4钛合金由于微观结构的差异,其准静态压缩力学性能也不同,其中,与激光扫描方向成45°角试样显示最高的强度,但塑性最差;而沿沉积方向试样则显示最好的塑性性能,其强度与沿激光扫描方向试样的强度相当。     

热等静压Ti-6Al-4V钛合金热变形微观组织演变研究

采用Gleeble-1500热模拟试验机对热等静压态Ti-6Al-4V钛合金在温度950~1050℃、应变速率0.01~1s_-1条件下进行了热模拟压缩实验,研究了变形温度、应变速率对其显微组织的影响规律。结果表明：热等静压态Ti-6Al-4V钛合金在950℃以上变形后淬火组织以粗大的β晶粒与针状及板条马氏体组成,具有典型的β相区变形组织特征。β转变组织形成交错的网篮结构并具有特定的取向关系。变形过程中,发生了动态再结晶,并伴随着动态回复现象。在950℃、0.01s_?1条件下,以动态再结晶占据主导,得到均匀等轴β转变组织。随应变速率增大,以动态回复为主,β晶粒沿金属流动方向拉长,β转变组织得到细化。随温度升高,β晶粒变粗大,并仍然存在拉长变形带。同时,β转变组织有一定程度的粗化。
