DEFORMATION-INDUCED α2→γ TRANSFORMATION IN A HOT DEFORMED Ti-45A1-10Nb ALLOY

High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) was employed to investigate the deformation-induced α2→γ phase transformation phenomenon in a hot deformed Ti-45Al-10Nb alloy. Such a tronsformation can be nucleated either at α2/γ interfaces or at stacking faults on the basal planes of the α2 phase. The growth of deformation-induced γplate is accomplished by the motion of α/6<100> Shockley partials on alternate basal planes (0001)α2, and the α/6<100> Shockley partials move in coordination rather than sweep on (0001)α2 plane one by one. It appears that no atom transportation is involved in this stress-induced α2→γ transfromation.

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

Ti-45Al-10Nb合金的高温氧化行为

研究了Ti-45Al-10Nb(原子分数,％)合金在800～960℃在氧气和空气中的氧化行为。结果表明,该合金具有较好的高温抗氧化性能,其氧化增重速率与铁基耐热不锈钢相似或略优。与Ti-50Al合金相反,Ti-45Al-10Nb合金在空气中的氧化增重速率明显低于在纯氧中的氧化增重速率。X射线衍射与能谱分析表明,Ti-45Al-10Nb合金在氧气中的氧化产物主要有TiO_2和Al_2O_3,但在空气中的氧化产物中有TiN相。这是降低氧化速率的主要原因,同时,合金元素Nb稳定了氧化层中的TiN相,因而提高了合金在空气中的抗氧化性能。

Determination of critical parameters for dynamic recrystallization in Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V alloy

The true stress-strain curves of Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V alloy were achieved by a series of isothermal compression tests with height reduction of 60% under the deformation temperatures of 1073-1323 K and the strain rates of 0.01-10s 1.The critical conditions for the onset of DRX were attained when the value of d /d,where strain hardening rate d /d,reached the minimum which corresponds to an inflection of θ versus σ curve.Thus,two important potential parameters,critical strain and critical stress,were identified,and expressed as εc/εp=0.37-0.60,σc/σp=0.81-0.91.Furthermore,by the regression analysis for conventional hyperbolic sine equation,the main material parameters such as α,β,n,and DRX activation energy,Q,were calculated.In addition,the evolution of Q with strain rate and temperature was revealed as a 3D response surface.

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

The Dislocation Sub-structure Evolution during Hot Compressive Deformation of Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V Alloy at 800℃

Hot compressive behaviors of Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V alloy at 800℃, as well as the evolution of microstructure during deformation process, were investigated. The experimental results show that flow stress increases to a peak stress followed by a decease with increasing strain, and finally forms a stable stage. Dislocations are generated at the interface of αβ phase, and the phase interface and dislocation loops play an important role in impeding the movement of dislocation. As strain increasing, micro-deformation bands with high-density dislocation are formed, and dynamic recrystallizaton occurs finally. XRD Fourier analysis reveals that dislocation density increases followed by a decrease during compressive deformation, and falls into the range from 10^10 to 10^11 cm^-2.

Impact of Microstructural and Surface Modifications on the Ti-45Nb Alloy’s Response to Bio-Environment

The Ti-45Nb (mass%) alloy’s corrosive and biocompatible response in simulated physiological conditions was investigated before and after its additional high-pressure torsion (HPT) and laser irradiation processing. The grain size reduction from 2.76 µm to ~ 200 nm and the appearance of laser-induced morphologically altered and highly oxidized surface led to the significant improvement of alloy corrosion resistance and cell–implant interaction. Moreover, an additional increase of the laser pulse energy from 5 to 15 mJ during the alloy irradiation in the air led to an increase in the surface oxygen content from 13.64 to 23.89% accompanied by an increase of excellent cell viability from 127.18 to 134.42%. As a result of the controlled alloy microstructural and surface modifications, the formation of protective bi-modal mixed Ti- and Nb-oxide external scale was enabled. The presence of this surface oxide scale enhanced the alloy’s resistance to corrosion deterioration and simultaneously boosted cell viability and proliferation.

Optimization of processing parameters for preparation of Al-3Ti-1B grain refiner

Al-3Ti-1B master alloys were prepared at different processing parameters by the reaction of halide salts,and the grain refining response of Al-7Si alloy was investigated with Al-3Ti-B master alloy.The microstructure of master alloy and its grain refining effect on Al-7Si alloy were investigated by means of OM,XRD and SEM.Experimental results show that,the size of Al3Ti particles presented in Al-3Ti-1B master alloys increases with the increase of reaction temperature and decreases with the increase of cooling rate.The grain refining efficiency of Al-3Ti-1B master alloy on Al-7Si alloy is mainly attributed to heterogeneous nucleation of Al3Ti particles,and the morphology ofα(Al)changes from coarse dendritic to fine equiaxed.As a result,Al-3Ti-1B master alloy is prepared by permanent mold,and holding at 800 ℃for 30min,which has better grain refining performance on Al-7Si alloy.

Thermomechanical Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

Ti-6AI-4V, among the Ti alloys, is the most widely used. In the present work, the behavior of Ti-6AI-4V alloy has been investigated by the uniaxial hot isothermal compression tests and a series of dilatometric experiments were also carried out to determine the transformation temperatures at different cooling rates. Specimens for hot compression tests were homogenized at 1050℃ for 10 min and then quickly cooled to different straining temperatures from 1050 to 850℃. Cooling rates were chosen fast enough to prevent high temperature transformation during cooling. Compression tests were conducted at temperatures from 1050 to 850℃ in steps of 50℃ at constant true strain rates of 10-3 or 10-2 s-1. The apparent activation energy for compression in two-phase region was calculated 420 kJ·mol-1. Partial globularization of a phase was observed in the specimen deformed at low strain rates and at temperatures near the transformation zone and annealed after deformation.

The microstructure at the interfaces and the distribution of thickness were researched.

Intragranular Rare Earth－rich Phases in As－cast High－temperature Ti－5Al－4Sn－2Zr－1MO－0．25Si－1Nd Alloy

In the as-cast Ti-55 alloy, the intragranular rare earth-rich phase particles are about 1. 0～14 μm in diameter, elliptical, and rich in Nd, Sn, and O. The contents of Nd and Sn on the grain boundaries are higher than those at other sites. The intragranular phases grow preferably at the region on the grain boundaries, which causes the formation of the elliptical morphology of the intragranular phases.

Synergistic antibacterial photocatalytic and photothermal properties over bowl-shaped TiO_(2)nanostructures on Ti-19Zr-10Nb-1Fe alloy

As implant substitutes are increasingly applied to the clinic,the infection caused by implants has become one of the most common complications,and the modification of the antibacterial function of the implant can reduce such complications.In this work,a well-defined bowl-shaped nanostructure coating with photocatalytic and photothermal synergistic antibacterial properties was prepared on Ti-19Zr-10Nb-1Fe(TZNF)alloy.The coating is obtained by spin-coating and sintering TiO_(2)precursors templated from self-assembled microspheres of polystyrenepoly(4-vinylpyridine)(PS-P4VP)amphiphilic block polymer on TZNF alloy.PS-P4VP provides the bowl-shaped TiO_(2)nanostructures doped with C,N elements,reducing the band-gap of TiO_(2),which can absorb near-infrared(NIR)light to release reactive oxygen species and produce photothermal conversion.The bowl structure is expected to enhance the utilization of light via the reflection in the confined space.The bowl-shaped surface has 100%antibacterial rates after 30 min of NIR light irradiation.In addition to antibacterial properties,the bowl-shaped surface has better hydrophilicity and protein adsorption capacity.The amount of protein adsorbed on TZNF with the bowl-shaped structures was six times that of TZNF.Hence,the bowl-shaped nanostructure can promote the proliferation and adhesion of osteoblasts,the cell proliferation rate was increased by 10–30%.

Electrochemical behavior of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V alloy under rotating condition with periodically fluctuating current density

Titanium alloy plays a crucial role in the electrochemical field due to its excellent corrosion resistance.The passivation and dissolution behaviors of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V(TA15)alloy in Na Cl solution were studied by simulating the electrochemical machining process in a rotating condition,which made the anode in a state with alternating high and low current density.Electron probe micro analysis,ultra-depth microscope,scanning electron microscope,and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were used to reveal the evolution of TA15 under fluctuating current density.The existence state of the passivation film on TA15 surface was closely related to the pulse frequency of the periodically fluctuating current density.At higher pulse frequency of 0.20 Hz,the material was hardly dissolved because passivation dominated the electrolysis behavior,while at lower pulse frequency of 0.01 Hz,the passivation and dissolution behaviors occurred alternately with the variation of the current density.Herein,the thickness of the passivation film was inversely proportional to the applied current density.Due to the different electrochemical characteristics of a phase andβphase,the surface of the TA15 changed from being smooth to porous after a period.In addition,the change of microstructure affected the content of O^(2–)and exposed the suboxides of titanium.In a word,the change of pulse frequency and current density affected the electrochemical behavior of TA15,which was different from the conventional steady condition.

Constitutive equation and hot processing maps of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy

The isothermal compression tests of A1-5Ti- 1B master alloy were conducted on the thermal mechanical simulator Gleeble-1500D at the deformation temperature range of 300-450 ℃,the strain rate range of 0.01- 10.00 s^-l, and the engineering strain of 50 %. The effects of deformation temperatures and strain rates on the flow stress were analyzed by the true stress-true strain curves. The result indicates that the flow stress increases with the increase of strain rate, while it decreases with the increase of temperature. The hot deformation activation energy of A1-5Ti-IB master alloy is calculated to be 250.9 kJ.mol^-1, and the constitutive equation is established as ε=1.97 x lO^19[sinh（O.O15δ）^11.14exp（-250.9/RT）, and the validity of this constitutive equation is verified. Based on dynamic material model （DMM） criterion, the hot processing map of AI-5Ti-1B master alloy is obtained. The optimum hot extrusion conditions are determined as deformation temperature of 400℃ and strain rate of 1.00 s^-1, and the flow instability only appears at the temperature range of 300-340℃ at the base of the hot processing map.

In Situ Investigation of Si-Poisoning Effect in Al-Cu-Si Alloys Inoculated by Al-5Ti-1B

In situ synchrotron X-radiography was carried out on Al-13 Cu and Al-13 Cu-7 Si alloys with and without addition of Al-5 Ti-1 B master alloy.The effects of Si content on grain growth and the solute-suppressed nucleation zone(SSNZ)were quantitatively studied.The average grain size can be refined to 164μm of Al-13 Cu alloy inoculated by Al-5 Ti-1B.After addition of 7%Si content,a large number of TiB 2 sites in the melt lost the inoculating ability due to"Si poisoning."The radius of the dendrite tip curvature of Al-13 Cu is more than two times as large as that of Al-13 Cu-7 Si.The sharper tip is able to disperse the solute more effectively and thus grains can grow more rapidly.This causes that the dendrite arm growth rate with addition of 7%Si solute is about 2.6 times that of no Si addition.In addition,the solute enrichment in the SSNZ of Al-13 Cu is faster,and the area change of SSNZ is slower than that of Al-13 Cu-7 Si.Thus more nucleation sites in the SSNZ cannot be activated with addition of Si.This study will shed light on the understanding of Si poisoning in casting Al-Cu-Si alloys.
