Ti−6Al−4V合金板材在电脉冲辅助弯曲过程中的显微组织演变及成形性能

在有效电流密度为0~3.2 A/mm^(2)、占空比为10%~70%条件下对Ti−6Al−4V合金板材进行电脉冲辅助弯曲实验。结果表明:当有效电流密度从0增加到2.4 A/mm^(2)时,弯曲成形位移从9.15 mm增加到15.60 mm;同时,裂纹的尺寸和宽度减小。此外,当弯曲位移为8 mm时,回弹角随着有效电流密度的增加而减小。占空比同样影响弯曲角,在30%占空比条件下能获得最小的弯曲角135.0°。板材的热稳定温度随着有效电流密度的增加而增加,但是与占空比呈非线性关系。此外,在电脉冲辅助弯曲过程中出现了晶粒粗化、{0001}织构强度增加和亚晶粒发展。电脉冲使位错密度降低且加速位错的重排,促进α晶粒内亚晶粒的形成,从而改善合金的成形性。电脉冲的非热效应提高了Ti−6Al−4V合金板材的低温成形性,使其与高温下的成形效果类似。

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti−6Al−4V/Ti−22Al−25Nb joint formed by diffusion bonding

Ti-6Al-4V(wt.%) and Ti-22Al-25Nb(at.%) were joined by diffusion bonding at 950 ℃ and 15 MPa for 100 min, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the resulting joints were investigated. The composition of the diffusion layer is B2/discontinuous α/α2 layer/necklace-shaped β+α’ layer, where the content of any element at a given point mainly depends on the distance of the point from the interface and the phase type at the point. The tensile strength of the joint is 894 MPa, which is almost the same as that of the Ti-22Al-25Nb base alloy. The fracture surfaces on both sides of the joint are composed of two main regions. One region displays a relatively flat surface and fractures along the bonding interface. The other is composed of a moderate number of irregularly-shaped cavities on the Ti-6Al-4V side and many irregularly-shaped bulges on the Ti-22Al-25Nb side. Both regions result from fracture along the boundaries between β+α’ layers and αp grains or from the transcrystalline fracture of αp grains.
