The relationship among sintering temperature, microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The results show that the morphology of double mechanical milled powder is regular with size in the range of 20-40 μm and mainly composed of TiAl and Ti3Al phases. The main phase TiAl and few phases Ti3Al, Ti2Al and TiB2 were observed in the SPSed alloys. For samples sintered at 900 ℃ the equiaxed crystal grain microstructure is achieved with size in the range of 100-200 nm. With increasing the SPS temperature from 900 ℃to 1000 ℃ the size of equiaxed crystal grain obviously increases, the microhardness decreases from HV658 to HV616, and the bending strength decreases from 781 MPa to 652 MPa. In the meantime, the compression fracture strength also decreases from 2769 MPa to 2669 MPa, and the strain to fracture in compression increases from 11.69% to 17.76%. On the base of analysis of fractographies, it shows that the compression fracture transform of the SPSed alloys is intergranular rupture.展开更多

The 2 at.% and 4 at.% Cr were added into the alloy,(respectivel named 2 Cr and 4 Cr compared to the Cr-free ternary alloy, 0 Cr alloy). The alloys' microstructure and compositio as well as the composition distribution of the oxidation scale were analyzed by means of Scanning Electro Microscopy(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS), and X-Ray Diffractometry(XRD). The results show that the addition of Cr decreases the grain size of the Nb-TiAl alloy and leads to a transformation from a full lamellar structure to a nearly fully lamellar structure. When oxidized at 1,073 K for 200 h, the oxidized mass gai of the alloy increases with an increase in Cr addition amount in the first 100 h and decreases in the last 100 h With the increase of Cr content, the oxidation surface turns compact but uneven in morphology, which may affec the oxidation resistance of the alloy by increasing the peeling off risk of the oxidation layer at friction conditions.展开更多

The welded seam is mainly composed of B2 phase, the partial γ ＋ α2 twophase lamellar structure and granular γm phase. And the lanthanon Y existed as YAl2 phase and served as grain refined. The impact of different cooling rates on joint microstructure, fracture characteristic and tensile strength were investigated. The high cooling rate restrained the structural transformation and resulted in the ordering structure. The fracture of the joint was brittle cleavage fracture because the ordering structure went against restraining the crack propagation. With the decrease of cooling rate, the transformation amounts of lamellar structure increased, and the fracture presented the layered and crosslayered characteristic.展开更多

The results have shown that the density of the prepared Ti-48AI alloy increases with increasing hot pressing temperature up to 1300℃. The Ti-48AI alloy microstructure mainly consisted of island-like Ti3Al phase and TiAl matrix at hot pressing temperature below 1300℃, however, coarse α2/γ lamellar colonies and γ grains appeared at 1400℃. It has also indicated that the additions of elemental Cr and B can refine the alloy microstructure. The main microstructural inhomogeneity in EPM TiAI-based alloys was the island-like α2 phase or the aggregate of α2/γ lamellar colony, and such island-like structure will be inherited during subsequent heat treatment in (α＋γ) field. Only after heat treatment in a field would this structure be eliminated. The mechanical properties of EPM TiAl-based alloys with various compositions were tested, and the effect of alloy elements on the mechanical properties was closely related to that of alloy elements on the alloy microstructures. Based on the above results, TiAI-based alloy exhaust valves were fabricated by elemental powder metallurgy and diffusion joining. The automobile engine test had demonstrated that the performance of the manufactured valves was very promising for engine service.展开更多

The microstructure and properties of the sheet were investigated on an atomic force microscope （AFM）, a scanning electron microscope （SEM） and a tensile testing machine. The results indicate that the evenly distributed Nb layers are well joined with the TiAl layers, and the interfaces between layers are transparent, and every interlayer spacing is of about 8μm. The fractures appear to be a mixture of intergranular fractures and somewhat ductile quasi-cleavage ones. Despite its slight influence on ultimate tensile strength, the inserts of Nb layers efficiently increase the room temperature ductility of TiAl-based alloys due to the crack deflection effect.展开更多

The kinds of the reaction products and the interface structures of the joints were investigated by SEM, EPMA and XRD. Based on this, a formation mechanism of the interface structure was elucidated. Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2. One is Al rich α(Ti)layer adjacent to TC2,and the other is (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer adjacent to TAD,thus the interface structure of the TAD/TC2 joints is TAD/(Ti 3Al+TiAl)/α(Ti)/TC2.This interface structure forms according to a three stage mechanism,namely(a)the occurrence of a single phase α(Ti)layer;(b)the occurrence of a duplex phase(Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer;and(c)the growth of the α(Ti)and (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layers.展开更多

The relationship among sintering temperature, microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The results show that the morphology of double mechanical milled powder is regular with size in the range of 20-40 μm and mainly composed of TiAl and Ti3Al phases. The main phase TiAl and few phases Ti3Al, Ti2Al and TiB2 were observed in the SPSed alloys. For samples sintered at 900 ℃ the equiaxed crystal grain microstructure is achieved with size in the range of 100-200 nm. With increasing the SPS temperature from 900 ℃to 1000 ℃ the size of equiaxed crystal grain obviously increases, the microhardness decreases from HV658 to HV616, and the bending strength decreases from 781 MPa to 652 MPa. In the meantime, the compression fracture strength also decreases from 2769 MPa to 2669 MPa, and the strain to fracture in compression increases from 11.69% to 17.76%. On the base of analysis of fractographies, it shows that the compression fracture transform of the SPSed alloys is intergranular rupture.

文摘Vacuum diffusion bonding of a TiAl based alloy (TAD) to a titanium alloy (TC2) was carried out at 1 273 K for 15～120 min under a pressure of 25 MPa . The kinds of the reaction products and the interface structures of the joints were investigated by SEM, EPMA and XRD. Based on this, a formation mechanism of the interface structure was elucidated. Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2. One is Al rich α(Ti)layer adjacent to TC2,and the other is (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer adjacent to TAD,thus the interface structure of the TAD/TC2 joints is TAD/(Ti 3Al+TiAl)/α(Ti)/TC2.This interface structure forms according to a three stage mechanism,namely(a)the occurrence of a single phase α(Ti)layer;(b)the occurrence of a duplex phase(Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer;and(c)the growth of the α(Ti)and (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layers.
文摘To evaluate the residual stress in TiAl based alloys by X ray diffraction, X ray elastic constants (REC) of a γ TiAl alloy were determined. From these results, the stress state of a given phase in a duplex TiAl based alloy under a uniaxial tensile loading has been characterized by X ray diffraction. The results show that the X ray elastic constants and the microscopic stresses of the given phase are different from the apparent elastic constants and the macroscopic stresses of the alloy. The reason of the different distribution of the alloy was also discussed. [

文摘Ti-Al-based intermetallic compounds are promising candidates for high-temperature structural applications owing to their outstanding mechanical prop-erties.Ti_(2)AlNb alloys,characterized by complex multiphase microstructures,present significant challenges for hot deformation modeling because of their atypical flow behavior and sensitivity to processing conditions.In this study,we systematically investigated the hot deformation behavior of Ti_(2)AlNb through ex-periments and compared conventional constitutive models with advanced machine learning approaches.The conventional strain-compensated Sellars(SCS)model showed limited accuracy for Ti_(2)AlNb,especially across complex microstructural transitions,while performing well for simpler alloy systems like Ti4822.To address these limitations,we developed a dynamic physics-guided neural network(DPGNN)that integrates physical constraints with data-driven learning via an adaptive gating mechanism.The DPGNN model significantly outperformed the SCS model and three purely data-driven baselines,achieving high accuracy(test R^(2)>0.98)and robust generalization across both Ti_(2)AlNb and Ti4822 alloys.These findings highlight the value of embedding physical principles within machine learning frameworks,providing a robust and generalizable too1 for predicting hot deformation behavior in advanced alloys.

文摘Regarding the metallurgical considerations and the melting points of Ti-Mn-Fe eutectic alloy and Ni-Co-V ternary alloy,a Ti-Mn-Fe-Ni-Co-V senary system filler metal was proposed for joining TiAl-based alloy.The senary filler alloy consisted of TiFe,TiMn and Ti-based solid solution phases.It exhibited the liquidus temperatures of 1110.8℃and a contact angle of 37°on TiAl alloy after heating at 1110℃for 10 min.The brazed joint was composed of B2,γ-TiAl andα_(2)-Ti_(3)Al as well as residual brazing filler reaction phase.With increasing brazing temperature or prolonging dwell time,joint thickness andγ-TiAl phase volume fraction increased.The brazing condition of 1180℃/45 min gave theγ-TiAl phase content of 21.6 vol.%within the joint and the joint thickness of 270μm,and the maximum joint tensile strength reached 488 MPa at ambient temperature,with the joint strength coefficient of 82.7%.The joints offered tensile strength of 521 MPa at 700℃and 498 MPa at 800℃,corresponding to the joint strength coefficient of 85.1%and 96.3%,respectively.In this case,the joint fractured at the brazing seam with a flexural morphology,leading to the im-provement of joint strength.The typical composition within the joint was characterized by 0.47-2.09 at.%Fe,1.15-2.11 at.%Mn,0.08-0.59 at.%Ni,0.03-0.25 at.%Co and 0.15-0.35 at.%V,and these alloying elements had a positive strengthening effect on the brazed joint.
