Effect of post-weld heat treatment on microstructure and properties of Ti-23Al-17Nb alloy laser beam welding joints

The mechanical properties of Ti-23Al-17Nb (mole fraction,%) laser beam welding alloy joint at room temperature are comparable to that of the base materials.However,the strength and ductility of the as-welded joint deteriorate seriously after high temperature circulation.The effect of post-welded heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint was investigated.The heat treatment was taken at 980 ℃ for 1.5 h,then furnace cooling and air cooling were performed separately.The results indicate that proper post-welded heat treatment improves the ductility of the joint at high temperature.

Brazeability evaluation of Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni-Co-Mo filler for vacuum brazing TiAl-based alloy

Ti-47Al-2Nb-2Cr-0.15B(mole fraction,%)alloy was vacuum brazed with amorphous and crystalline Ti.25Zr-12.5Cu-12.5Ni-3.0Co-2.0Mo(mass fraction,%)filler alloys,and the melting,spreading and gap filling behaviors of the amorphous and crystalline filler alloys as well as the joints brazed with them were investigated in details.Results showed that the amorphous filler alloy possessed narrower melting temperature interval,lower liquidus temperature and melting active energy compared with the crystalline filler alloy,and it also exhibited better brazeability on the surface of the Ti.47Al.2Nb.2Cr.0.15B alloy.The TiAl joints brazed with crystalline and amorphous filler alloys were composed of two interfacial reaction layers and a central brazed layer.Under the same conditions,the tensile strength of the joint brazed with the amorphous filler alloy was always higher than that with the crystalline filler alloy.The maxmium tensile strength of the joint brazed at 1273 K with the amorphous filler alloy reached 254 MPa.

Use of a Laser/TIG Combination for Surface Modification of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

The surface modification of materials such as Ti-6Al-4V is necessary to improve their wear resistant properties for use in tribological applications. In this paper it is shown that a laser with low power and tungsten inert gas (TIG) can be combined together for surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and when performed in a controlled atmosphere of pure nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and argon, can produce a wear-resistant surface alloy. Compared with laser processing, a cheaper surface modification process has been developed involving a shorter processing time, which is free of stringent requirements such as a vacuum system.

EFFECTS OF NEODYMIUM ON OXIDATION BEHAVIOUR OF Ti-11Al ALLOY

The oxidation behaviours of pure 77,Ti-11 at% Al and Ti-11 at% Al-Nd alloys in air at the tempera- ture range 800～1000℃ have been investigated in the present paper.Their oxidation kinetics follows substantially the parabolic rate law.The activation energies of oxidation processes are 103 and 91 kcal/mole for Ti-11 Al and Ti-11 Al-Nd alloys,respectively.The platinum wire tagging tests have shown that oxygen atoms diffuse into the substrate during oxidation of pure Ti and that Ti,Al and Nd atoms diffuse across a scale of oxides outwards during oxidations of these alloys.Nd addition promotes the selective oxidation of aluminium.The addition of Al and Nd decreases the extent of penetration of oxygen atoms into the Ti substrate.The X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that the oxide scales of the alloys consist of TiO_2 and α-Al_2O_3,or TiO_2,α-Al_2O_3 and a small amount of Nd_2O_3 for Ti-11 Al and Ti-11 Al-Nd alloys, respectively.

Deformation-induced α_2/γ Interfaces in a Hot-deformed Ti-45Al-10Nb Alloy

The structure change of α2/γ interface in a Ti-45Al-10Nb alloy induced by hot deformation was investigated by conventional and high-resolution transmission eIectron microscopy. Two types of hot deformation induced special α2/γ intedeces, coherent intedeces with high density of ledges and semi-coherent α2/γ intedeces were found to be due to the absorption of mobile dislocations into the α2/γ inteface. For the misoriented semi-coherent α2/γ interfaces, the densities of dislocation ledges increase with the misoriented angle between (111)γ and (0001)α2 planes, and 1/3[111] Frank partial dislocations were involved in the dislocation ledges. Formation mechanism of these deformation-induced α2/γ interfaces was discussed to be related to the role of α2/γ interface5 adjusting the deformation as a dislocation sink absorbing the slipping dislocations in the γ phase

Texture Evaluation of α_2 Phase in Ti-25Al-10Nb-3V-1Mo Alloy Sheet

The texture evaluation of α2 phase in Ti-25Al-10Nb-3V-1Mo sheet during rolling and annealing has been investigated by means of microstructure observation and ODF analysis. From the weak initial {1010} (1210) and {0001}(1210) textures a {1210}(1010) texture and a {0001}(uvtw)fibre texture are formed after cold rolling. The {0001} (1210) texture is also strengthened simultaneously. The activation process of slip systems is discussed concerning formation of the rolling texture. Because of the disappearance of {0001} (nvtw) fibre texture the primary recrystallization process should occur and the {1210}(1010) texture forms during annealing

Superplasticity of a Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V-0.5Mo Intermetallic Alloy

Superplastic properties and microstructural evolution of a Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V-0.5Mo (at. pct) intermetallic alloy were studied. Optimum superplastic properties were obtained for temperatures in the interval 960℃≤5 T≤5980℃. The apparent activation energy in the superplastic regime was determined and the deformation mechanism was also discussed. Based on the studies, a curve panel with three sheets sandwich structure was fabricated successfully. The microstructures corresponding to different strain in the part were also studied.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of heat treated LCB titanium alloy

The influence of ageing time on microstructure and mechanical properties of low-cost beta （LCB） titanium alloy with a chemical composition of Ti-6.6Mo-4.5Fe-1.5Al was investigated. The correlation between microstructure and fatigue crack initiation and growth was also studied. Increasing ageing time tended to increase the volume fraction of the secondary α-precipitates, β-grain size and partial spheroidization of primary α-phase. The maximum tensile strength （1565 MPa） and fatigue limit （750 MPa） were obtained for the samples aged at 500 °C for 0.5 h, while the minimum ones of 1515 MPa and 625 MPa, respectively, were reported for the samples aged at 500 °C for 4 h. The samples aged at 500 °C for 4 h showed a transgranular fracture mode. However, the samples aged at 500 °C for 0.5 h revealed a mixture fracture mode of transgranular and intergranular. The formed cracks on the outer surface of the fatigue samples were found to propagate through the β-grains connecting the primary α-particles existing at the β-grain boundaries.
