Microstructure of the alloy consists of α and β phases after furnace- and air-cooling, and interfacial phase appears at the boundaries between these two phases. After water quenching, the microstructure consists primary of α and h.c.p. martensite α′ which assumes acicular. There are many twins within the α′ plates. No retained β phase exists after quenching from any temperature. During aging, β particles precipitated along the boundaries and inside the martensite plates with Burgers orientation relationship. The fatigue crack propagation rate (low frequency) is not sensitive to the microstructure, tensile strength and rolling direction. Analysis of the fractography shows that main cracks propagated serpentinely and secondary cracks existed everywhere. In high stress intensity range, the resistance of FCP is better than that of Ti-6Al-4V.展开更多
In the present paper the effects of additions of Zr and Y on the microstructure and mechanical properties for Ti-(6.0 approximately 6.5)Al-(2.0 approximately 3.0)Sn-(1.5 approximately 6.0)Zr-(0.8 approximately 1.0)Mo-...In the present paper the effects of additions of Zr and Y on the microstructure and mechanical properties for Ti-(6.0 approximately 6.5)Al-(2.0 approximately 3.0)Sn-(1.5 approximately 6.0)Zr-(0.8 approximately 1.0)Mo-1.0Nb-0.25Si alloys are reported. The experimental results shows that: with increasing of Zr content, tensile strength and creep resistance of the alloys increase, and reduction in area and thermal stability of the alloys decrease. Decrease in thermal stability of the alloys mainly caused by surface thermal unstability. After heat treatment Y addition can make grain size of the alloys refine. The reduction in area and thermal stability of the alloys with Y addition are improved, and tensile strength slightly decreases and creep resistance is essentially the same as the alloy without Y addition. These phenomena are explained in brief.展开更多
