热处理对超细晶Ti-55511近β钛合金显微组织和力学性能的影响(英文)

Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ultra-fine Grained Ti-55511 Near β Titanium Alloy

采用热轧制备晶粒尺寸为0.1~0.5μm超细晶Ti-55511近β钛合金,利用SEM、TEM等手段研究热处理工艺对超细晶合金显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在350~650℃的温度条件下,合金强度和硬度随温度的增加呈现先增高后降低的趋势,在450℃达到峰值1486 MPa;在450℃温度退火时,随着退火时间的延长,合金强度首先急剧上升至1536 MPa后趋于稳定,延伸率呈现先增加后下降的趋势。显微组织分析表明,合金在退火过程中主要发生回复现象,未发生明显的粗化长大现象,晶粒尺寸均〈1μm。回复过程在消除加工硬化的同时促进了晶界/相界的稳定化,提高细晶强化作用;退火过程中发生的α→α2和β→ω→α相变过程,第二相粒子弥散强化效应增强。但是当第二相粒子尺寸增加至一定尺寸时,会显著降低合金的塑性。退火过程中合金力学性能的变化与强化机制的作用有关。

The ultra-fine grained（UFG） Ti-55511 near β titanium alloy with grain size 0.1~0.5 μm was prepared by hot rolling. The effects of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated using SEM and TEM. The results indicate that both strength and hardness increase firstly and then reduce with increasing of heat treatment temperature from 350 ℃ to 650 ℃. The peak strength（1486 MPa） appears at 450 ℃. The strength dramatically reaches to 1536 MPa and then is stablized with increasing of the holding time when heat treated at 450 ℃. While the elongation increases firstly and then decreases. The microstructure analysis shows that the dynamic recovery occurs and the grain sizes remain at smaller than 1 μm during annealing. The recovery stimulates the grain refinement effect by eliminating the hardening process and stimulating the grain boundary/phase boundary to be stable. The phase transformation of α→α2 and β→ω→α enhances the second phase particle dispersion effect during annealing. However, the ductility of the alloy could significant decrease when the second phase particles grow up to a certain size. The mechanical properties evolution during annealing are mainly related to the effect of strengthening mechanisms.
