以8 mol/L硝酸溶液为腐蚀介质,对Ti-6Ta和Ti-32Ta合金进行极化曲线和交流阻抗谱测试,并与TA2纯钛进行对比,研究不同Ta含量钛合金的电化学性能差异。结果表明,加入6%的Ta元素后,合金的腐蚀电流密度比TA2纯钛降低了近一半;加入了32%的Ta元素后,合金的自腐蚀电位提高,腐蚀电流密度比TA2纯钛降低了66%;Ti-6Ta和Ti-32Ta合金腐蚀后表面氧化膜均为单层结构;添加Ta元素可以极大地提高钛合金的电荷转移电阻,使相位角升高、变宽,增强耐腐蚀性能。

密度泛函理论计算研究不同晶相Ti-Ta 合金的结构与性质

钛合金以其优良的生物相容性和综合力学性能成为当前生物医用材料的研究热点,本文采用密度函数理论方法对不同固溶度的Ti1?xTax合金的能量、晶体结构、电子结构和力学性质进行全面、系统的理论计算和分析,并通过电子结构的分析研究了相关力学性质变化的内在机理。结果表明:Ti1?xTax合金体系在固溶度x=0~0.125区间内六方密排相为主,在其他固溶度下则两种相同时存在。两种晶体结构Ti1?xTax合金的晶格常数平均值、晶胞体积和体积模量随着固溶度x的增加按一阶Vegard规律线性增加。Ti1?xTax合金体系的稳定性、体弹模量、弹性模量和剪切模量的变化均与对应的电子结构密切相关,在不同固溶度区间呈现不同的变化规律。

层状Ti-Ta二元金属-金属复合材料的疲劳性能研究

二元金属复合材料在航空航天、高端装备等领域具有广阔的应用前景。金属-金属之间的界面通常会对疲劳裂纹的萌生和传播产生影响,但目前关于层状金属-金属复合材料的疲劳性能的研究较为有限。本文通过粉末冶金方法制备一种Ti-Ta金属-金属层状结构复合材料,并进行热变形处理,系统研究了在不同交变应力下的疲劳寿命和断口形貌。结果表明:Ti-Ta金属-金属层状复合材料的疲劳强度为450 MPa,显著高于纯Ti的。在疲劳断口中,Ta区域呈现出明显的疲劳条纹特征,而Ti区域则在疲劳稳定传播区内呈现解理断裂。此外,Ti和Ta区域之间的界面可以抑制裂纹的扩展,并改变裂纹扩展的方向。由于裂纹传播的方向不断变化,疲劳断口表面呈现出一种“阶梯状”的微观结构。本研究为层状金属-金属复合材料的疲劳裂纹扩展提供了一种新的模型。

合金元素对Ti-5Ta合金耐硝酸腐蚀性能的影响

研究了Cr、V、Mo、Al等元素对Ti-Ta系合金在6mol/L沸腾硝酸中腐蚀行为的影响规律。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和电化学工作站等分析方法对不同成分合金的腐蚀速率、钝化膜形貌、极化曲线等进行分析。结果表明,单独添加Cr、V、Mo元素对Ti-Ta合金的耐蚀性能影响较小,而添加Al元素会大幅降低合金耐蚀性能;Ti-Ta-Cr合金的腐蚀速率最低,钝化膜致密度最高,稳定性最佳;Ti-Ta-Al合金在腐蚀过程中很难形成致密且稳定的钝化膜。对于Ti-Ta系多元合金,复合添加Cr、V元素有助于获得致密的钝化膜,添加Mo元素会降低钝化膜致密度和稳定性,Al元素添加量为1%(质量分数)时对合金钝化行为的影响不大。提高氧浓度会恶化Ti-Ta-X三元合金在沸腾硝酸中的耐蚀性能。

Ti-Ta系近α型钛合金极薄壁管材退火工艺研究

采用多道次大变形量冷轧加滚珠旋压工艺制备出Ti-Ta系近α型钛合金极薄壁管材,研究了再结晶退火时保温时间和退火温度对管材显微组织与力学性能的影响。结果表明:冷旋态管材呈纤维组织,且纵向相对横向更为明显;退火态管材横纵向均为等轴组织。管材退火时,显微组织与力学性能对保温时间不敏感,保温时间选择范围较宽;随着退火温度的升高,晶粒聚合长大,强度降低,塑性增加。经(620~680)℃/(10~60)min/FC退火后,Ti-Ta系极薄壁管材可满足波纹管成形性能要求。

Phase equilibria in Co-rich region of Co-Ti-Ta system

The phase equilibria in Co-rich region of Co-Ti-Ta system were studied.The microstructure and XRD analysis together with EDS determination show that L12 type Co3Ti phase and Laves_C36_Co3Ta phase get equilibrium with α-Co phase from 1 000 to 1 200 ℃.The Co3Ti phase possesses a solubility of Ta higher than 10%,and the addition of Ta stabilizes the Co3Ti phase.The isothermal sections of the Co-Ti-Ta system in the Co-rich region at 1 000,1 100 and 1 200 ℃ were constructed according to the result.

Microstructure,mechanical and shape memory properties of Ti-55Ta-xSi biomedical alloys

The effects of Si addition on microstructures, mechanical and shape memory properties of Ti-55Ta biomedical alloy were investigated. The results show that the microstructures consist of mainly α′′ martensite and a little β phase, and the grain size decreases obviously with increasing Si addition. When x = 0.2, small （Ti, Ta）3Si precipitates are formed at grain boundaries. With further increasing Si content, the amount of the precipitates gradually increases. The tensile and yield strength of Ti-55Ta-xSi alloys gradually increase with increasing Si addition, whereas elongation decreases. Ti-55Ta-0.1Si alloy exhibits the lowest elastic modulus and the best shape memory recoverable strain. It is revealed that the refinement of grain and the precipitation of （Ti, Ta）3Si phase are responsible to the changes of their mechanical and shape memory properties.

Role of Ag addition on microstructure,mechanical properties,corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of porous Ti-30 at%Ta shape memory alloys

In the present study,the thermal,mechanical,and biological properties of xAg/Ti-30Ta(x=0,0.41,0.82 and 2.48 at%)shape memory alloys(SMAs)were investigated.The study was conducted using optical and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffractometry(XRD),compression test,and shape memory testing.The xAg/Ti-Ta was made using a powder metallurgy technique and microwave-sintering process.The results revealed that the addition of Ag has a significant effect on the pore size and shape,whereas the smallest pore size of 11μm was found with the addition of 0.41 at%along with a relative density of 72%.The fracture stress and strain increased with the addition of Ag,reaching the minimum values around 0.41 at%Ag.Therefore,this composition showed the maximum stress and strain at fracture region.Moreover,0.82 Ag/Ti-Ta shows more excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility than other percentages,obtaining almost the same behaviour of the pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys,which can be recommended for their promising and potential response for biomaterial applications.

High-throughput determination of mechanical and diffusion properties of Ti–Ta–Fe alloys

The mechanical and diffusion properties of Ti-Ta-Fe alloys in the Ti-rich region were investigated by utilizing a high-throughput method, with the combination of nanoindentation and diffusion couple techniques.Five groups of ternary Ti-Ta-Fe diffusion couples were prepared after annealing at 1273 K for 25 h. The composition-dependent mechanical properties of bcc Ti-Ta-Fe system were experimentally determined by means of nanoindentation and electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) techniques. Moreover, the interdiffusion coefficients of Ti-Ta-Fe alloys at 1273 K were confirmed from the composition gradients of the ternary diffusion couples with the support of a pragmatic numerical inverse method. A composition-dependent database on the mechanical and diffusion properties of Ti-Ta-Fe alloys was carefully established and utilized for the discussion of the processability during the hot working. The results indicated that the content of Fe should be controlled for the Ti alloys with high hardness and low Young’s modulus.
