The results show that the microstructure of LSFed samples consists of Widmanstatten α laths and a little acicular in columnar prior β grains with an average grain width of 300 μm, which grow epitaxiaUy from the substrate along the deposition direction (27). Solution treatment had an important effect on the width, aspect ratio, and volmne fraction of primary and secondary a laths, and aging treatment mainly affects the aspect ratio and volume fraction of primary α laths and the width and volume fraction of secondary a laths. Globular a phase was first observed in LSFed samples when the samples were heat treated with solution treatment (950℃, 8 h/air cooling (AC)) or with solution treatment (950℃, 1 h/AC) and aging treatment (550℃, above 8 h/AC), respectively. The coarsening and globularization mechanisms of a phase in LSFed Ti-6Al-4V alloy during heat treatment were presented. To obtain good integrated mechanical properties for LSFed Ti-6Al-4V alloys, an optimized heat treatment regimen was suggested.展开更多

The highest strain rate involved in the cutting process can be in the range of 104-106 s 1. Flow stresses at high strain rates are close to that of cutting are difficult to test via experiments. Split Hopkinson compression bar (SHPB) technology is used to study the deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at strain rates of 10 -4-10 4s- 1. The Johnson Cook (JC) model was applied to characterize the flow stresses of the SHPB tests at various conditions. The parameters of the JC model are optimized by using a genetic algorithm technology. The JC plastic model and the energy density-based ductile failure criteria are adopted in the proposed SHPB finite element simulation model. The simulated flow stresses and the failure characteristics, such as the cracks along the adiabatic shear bands agree well with the experimental results. Afterwards, the SHPB simulation is used to simulate higher strain rate(approximately 3 × 10 4 s -1) conditions by minimizing the size of the specimen. The JC model parameters covering higher strain rate conditions which are close to the deformation condition in cutting were calculated based on the flow stresses obtained by using the SHPB tests (10 -4 - 10 4 s- 1) and simulation (up to 3 × 10 4 s - 1). The cutting simulation using the constitutive parameters is validated by the measured forces and chip morphology. The constitutive model and parameters for high strain rate conditions that are identical to those of cutting were obtained based on the SHPB tests and simulation.展开更多

The phase composition was studied by XRD. And the electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) of the coatings were measured to study the structure of the coatings, combined with the surface morphology. Using the proper EIS interpreting software, the "equivalent circuit" of the coatings was established, and meanwhile fitting values of equivalent element were obtained. The results show that the coating is composed of Al2 TiO5, α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2, of which Al2 TiO5 is the main crystalline. Increasing the MPO time, the contents of Al2TiO5, rutile TiO2 and α-Al2O3 in the surface of the coating increase. And the EIS analysis and the surface morphology of the coatings illustrates the double-layer structure of the coatings, and the outer layer is loosen and the inner layer is compact. With the increase of the oxidizing time, the surface coarse degree of the coatings and the porosity of the outer layer of the coating are increased while the compactness of the inner layer of the coating is improved.展开更多

This softening is mainly ascribed to the temperature rise and dynamic recmptallisation.By a simple extension, a classical sinushyperbolic constitutive equation can be used to describe the flow behavior of Ti - 6Al - 4V alloy. flow stress is described as a function of strain, strain rate and temperature. The parameters Q, n andaare the same at differ- ent deformation conditions, and A is a funciton of strain.展开更多

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.展开更多

The effects of hydrogen content on microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is also examined by optical microscopy,X-ray diffractometry,transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The results show that hydrogen content and stress state have important effects on the room-temperature mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.Tensile strength and ultimate elongation decrease with increasing the hydrogen content,while compressive strength and ultimate reduction are improved after hydrogenation.The reason is that the intergranular deformation dominates at the state of tension.Hydrogen atoms in solid solution and hydrides at grain boundaries increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they can promote the initiation and propagation of cracks along grain boundaries.While the intragranular deformation dominates at the state of compression.The plastic beta phase and hydrides increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they improve the ultimate reduction and compressive strength.展开更多

Interface structures of the joints were identified by means of TEM analysis. This joining method contains three characteristic processes, which are the melting of AgCu eutectic alloy, eutectic reaction between interlayer and Ti-6Al-4V base material and active reaction of element Ti to SiO2 glass ceramic. It is different from traditional active brazing because active element Ti totally dissolves from Ti-6Al-4 V and reacts with SiO2 glass ceramic. SiO2 glass ceramic can be joined suecessfuUy to Ti-6Al-4 V alloy by this novel bonding method and the joint exhibits high shear strength, up to 110 MPa.展开更多

The macro model is used to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer throughout the casting. The micro model is used to predict the nucleation and growth of microstructures. With the proposed model, numerical simulations are performed to study the influences of the nucleation density, mould rotation speed, and casting size upon the 'banding' microstructure formation. It is noted that changing the nucleation density has a minor effect on the microstructure formation. The rotation speed promotes the formation of 'banding' microstructure, which is more noticeable for larger size castings. The 'major mechanism responsible for this 'banding' phenomenon is the spatial variation in cooling rates created by centrifugal force.展开更多

文摘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.
文摘This work aims to investigate the effects of hydrogen content(in the range of 0%-0.5%,mass fraction)and stress state (tension and compression)on the room-temperature mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy through mechanical properties tests. The effects of hydrogen content on microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is also examined by optical microscopy,X-ray diffractometry,transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The results show that hydrogen content and stress state have important effects on the room-temperature mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.Tensile strength and ultimate elongation decrease with increasing the hydrogen content,while compressive strength and ultimate reduction are improved after hydrogenation.The reason is that the intergranular deformation dominates at the state of tension.Hydrogen atoms in solid solution and hydrides at grain boundaries increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they can promote the initiation and propagation of cracks along grain boundaries.While the intragranular deformation dominates at the state of compression.The plastic beta phase and hydrides increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they improve the ultimate reduction and compressive strength.

It is different from traditional active brazing because active element Ti totally dissolves from Ti-6Al-4 V and reacts with SiO2 glass ceramic. SiO2 glass ceramic can be joined suecessfuUy to Ti-6Al-4 V alloy by this novel bonding method and the joint exhibits high shear strength, up to 110 MPa.

文摘The dynamic corrosion behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in acid artificial saliva containing fluoride ion were traced using electrochemical techniques,optical microscope,scanning electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectrometer and roughness tester.The experimental results indicate that a negative shift of corrosion potential as well as a continuous decrease in impedance for the alloy exists with increasing immersion time,and the degradation rate of the alloy presents the trend of first increase then decrease following the dissolution of passivation film and the formation of corrosion products.The accumulated fluoride ion on the alloy surface accelerates the fracture of passivation film,and the occurrence and development of corrosion of alloy are mainly located at the sites where the formation and shedding of white particles are composed of fluoride compounds,resulting in the decrease of corrosion resisting property of the alloy.A possible model is proposed to elaborate the dynamic corrosion behavior of the alloy.

文摘The aluminide coating process of Ti-6Al-4V alloys with different fillers(100wt.% Al_2O_3,50wt% Y_2O_3+50wt.% Al_2O_3 and 100wt.% Y_2O_3) for improvement of the oxidation resistance were investigated.The results show that the filler does not only participate in the aluminizing process,but also has much effect on the coating composition.The XRD analysis reveals that the aluminide coating with filler Al_2O_3 is predominant with TiAl_3 and TiAl phases;while the aluminide coatings with filler Y_2O_3+Al_2O_3 are predominant with Ti_3Al phase.The oxidation kinetics shows that different fillers affect greatly the oxidation resistance of aluminide coating,and the oxidation resistance of aluminized specimens with pack aluminizing filler Al_2O_3 are about 5-8 times than that of the aluminized specimens with other pack aluminizing fillers.
文摘The microstrueture and various hydrides precipitated in Ti-6A1-4V alloys containing hydrogen 0.16,0.58,0.87,1.49 wt-%,respectively,have been studied by means of TEM and X-ray diffraction.The Ti_3Al phase may precipitate when H over 0.58 wt-%.In the same time,the morphology of hydrides gradually changed from rugged sheets to narrow laths as H contents increased.The microstructure of highly H-doped alloys is obviously fine.A mas- sive hydride and the hydride with tetragonal lattice were observed in the specimen containing 1.49 wt-%H.The twin hydrides were found in the alloys with different H contents and the electron diffraction patterns of the twin hydrides can be served as a simple criterion for distin- guishing the cubic and tetragonal structures.

文摘Numerical investigations of the 'banding' microstructure formation during solidification of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy in the centrifugal casting are conducted using a multi-scale model, which combines the finite difference method (FDM) at the macroscale with a cellular automaton (CA) model at the microscale. The macro model is used to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer throughout the casting. The micro model is used to predict the nucleation and growth of microstructures. With the proposed model, numerical simulations are performed to study the influences of the nucleation density, mould rotation speed, and casting size upon the 'banding' microstructure formation. It is noted that changing the nucleation density has a minor effect on the microstructure formation. The rotation speed promotes the formation of 'banding' microstructure, which is more noticeable for larger size castings. The 'major mechanism responsible for this 'banding' phenomenon is the spatial variation in cooling rates created by centrifugal force.
文摘Superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) is a well-established process for the manufacture of components almost exclusively from Ti-6AI-4V sheet material. The sandwich structure of Ti-6AI-4V alloy is investigated. The effects of the microstructure on the SPF/DB process were discussed. The microstructure at the interfaces and the distribution of thickness were researched.
文摘The effects of various hydrogen contents on the flow stress(σ),strain rate sensitivity expo- nent(m)and the tensile elongation(δ)of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were studied.The microstructure of the alloy was also investigated.The results indicate that,a suitable amount of hydrogen in the alloy can reduce the flow stress in the temperature range 800—860℃. Consequently,the superplastic temperature can be decreased and the ductility improved.
文摘The effect of triple annealing on stress relaxation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy as well as the microstructure after stress relaxation werestudied. The results showed that triple annealing treatment enhanced the resistance of stress relaxation performance, andwhen the temperature was rising, this effect became notable. The stress relaxation deformation mechanism is of dislocationcreep at 400℃ and recovery creep at 600℃.

文摘Titanium alloys are very chemically reactive and,therefore,have a tendency to weld to the cutting tool during machining.The deterioration in the tool life caused by adhesion is a serious problem when titanium alloys are cut using carbide tools.The chemical reactivity of titanium alloys with carbide tool materials and their consequent welding by adhesion onto the cutting tool during dry cutting leads to excessive chipping,premature tool failure,and poor surface finish.In the present study,dry turning and milling tests were carried out on Ti-6Al-4V alloys with WC?Co carbide tools.The adhesion on the tool rake and flank face was explored,the adhesive joint interface between the workpiece materials and tools were observed.SEM observation showed that adhesion can be observed both on the rake and the flank face,and was more pronounced in rake face than in flank face.There was evidence of element diffusion from the tool rake face to the adhering layer(vice versa) through the adhesive joint interface,which leads to the tool element loss and microstructure change.While the adhering materials at the flank face can be easily separated from the joint interface owing to the lower temperature and less pressure at the flank face,the adhesive wear attack results in an abrasive wear in the flank face.Moreover,adhesion is more notable in turning than in milling.The proposed research provides references for studying the adhesion between the workpiece materials and the tools,the adhesion mechanisms and their effect on the tool wear.
