Morphology, chemical compositions and phase constitues, roughness, contact angle and apatite induction of the alkali-treated coatings were studied and compared. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) was applied to observe the morphologies, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to detect the phase constitutes and chemical compositions, a surface topography profilometer was used to analyze the surface roughness, and contact angle was measured by liquid drop method. Alkali treatements result in the formation of Na2Ti6O13 and Na2Ti3O7 phase on the MAO coating, which leads to the increase of surface roughness and the decrease of contact angle. Experimental results showed that the apatite induction of the alkali-treated coatings was dependent on the applied alkali concentrations during treatments, and Na+concentration can promote the formation of apatite phase.展开更多

The results show that the p--xo relationship of Ti40 obeys parabolic rule. The varying range of xo is about 25% while p varies within 0.1-0.25 MPa. When Xo is 〉70%, Ti40 is ignited immediately at room temperature and develops into continual and steady burning, and the duration of burning is more than 10 s. The fireproof performance of Ti40 is better than TC4 while xo of Ti40 is at least 40% higher than TC4. When Xo is low, the fireproof performance of Ti40 is more sensitive to p; when Xo increases, it is more sensitive to Xo. The forming of fused oxides of V205, TiO2 and Cr203 with strong inner interaction during friction is the basic reason of high fireproof performance of Ti40.展开更多

Electrochemical machining （ECM） is a promising technique that has several advantages, such as a high machining rate, and can be used on a wide range of difficult-to-process materials. In this paper, orthogonal experiments are conducted to investigate ECM of Ti60, with the aim of determining the influences of some electrochemical pro- cess parameters on the surface roughness. The most important parameter is found to be the frequency of the pulsed power supply. It is found that using suitably optimized parameters for ECM can greatly decrease the surface roughness ofa workpiece. A surface roughness of approximately 0.912 μm can be obtained with the following optimal parameters： NaC1 electrolyte concentration 13wt%, voltage 20 V, pulse frequency 0.4 kHz, duty cycle 0.3, temperature 23 ℃, and anode feed rate 0.5 mm/min. Furthermore, blisk blades have been successfully processed using these optimized parameters展开更多

The results show that the volume fraction of the primary α(αp) phase decreases with the increase of solution temperature, and the length of the secondary α phase (αs) decreases while its width increases with the increase of aging temperature. Yield and tensile strengths decrease with the increase of solution temperature, while increase with the increase of aging temperature. A good balance of tensile strength and ductility of the alloy is obtained under solution of 800℃ for 2 h plus aging of 640℃ for 8 h, in which the tensile strength is 1434 MPa and the elongation is 7.7%. The coarsening αs phase makes crack propagation paths deflected and tortuous, which increases the crack propagation resistance and improves the ductility and fracture toughness.展开更多

The results show that a strong α-fiber texture is developed in the rolled Ti-7333 alloy. The deformed matrix and the texture significantly induce the variant selection of β phase. The high strength of the rolled Ti-7333 alloy is attributed to the <110> texture parallel to the tensile direction and the dispersed α phase within the matrix. After the solution treatment followed by the aging treatment, the texture decreases and the microstructure consists of the equiaxed β grains, the spheroidal α_p phase and various needle-like α variants. Eventually, the alloy could achieve an optimal combination with the strength of about 1450 MPa,the ductility of about 10.5% and a considerable shear strength of about 775 MPa. This balance can be ascribed to the performance of the spheroidal α_p phase and various needle-like α_s variants. The results indicate that the Ti-7333 alloy could be a promising candidate material for the high-strength fastener.展开更多

The investigation of nucleation of metal may provide the method for obtaining smooth,coherent and adherent deposits of titanium.展开更多

文摘The compressive yielding phenomenon of titanium alloys is not as focused and sufficiently ascertain as the tensile yielding phenomenon.In the present work,the peculiar compressive yielding behavior and the different dynamic responses of three different initial microstructures(singleβ,clavateβand lamellarβ)were investigated in an attractive metastableβtitanium alloy Ti-5553 using electron microscopes/crystallographic calculation/crystal plastic finite element simulation.Results reveal that the distinct compressive yielding behavior,steep peaks of sudden drop in the initial stage(very small true strain 0.03)of stress loading have appeared in the compression stress-strain curves except for the lamellarβinitial microstructure.Dislocation slip is the essential mechanism of the initial yielding behavior.Interlaced multiple-slip bands formed in the singleβinitial microstructure during the warm deformation process.A small quantity of single slip bands was observed in the deformed clavateβinitial microstructure.The abundant varied nano/ultrafineβsprecipitates were nucleated dynamically and dispersedly in all the three deformed initial microstructures.The multiple-slip bands formation and substantial nanoscaleβsresult in the highest peak of flow stress for singleβinitial microstructure.The compressive slip bands are formed early in the elastic–plastic deformation stage.As the increasing strain,the sample showed a significant compressive bulge,or eventually forming a strong adiabatic shear band or crack.These results are expected to provide a reference for the study of deformation behavior and mechanical properties of metastableβtitanium alloys.
文摘The electrochemical behaviour of Ti(Ⅲ) and Ti(Ⅱ) in LiCl-KCl eutectic system has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry.The cathodic reduction of Ti(Ⅲ) and Ti(Ⅱ) has been found to be stepwise:Ti(Ⅲ)+e=Ti(Ⅱ),Ti(Ⅱ)+2e =Ti.The reductions are diffusion controlled.When an equilibrium between Ti subchlorides and excess metallic Ti was estab- lished by reaction 2TiCl_3+Ti=3TiCl_2 in LiCl-KCl melt at 475℃,then the average valence of Ti is less than 2.1.In this system the diffusion coefficient for Ti(Ⅱ) ion was calculated as D=2.5×10^(-5)cm^2·s^(-1).The chronoamperometric studies showed that the initial nucleation stage and growth of nuclei were observed when Ti ions were electrodeposited on low carbon steel substrate. The investigation of nucleation of metal may provide the method for obtaining smooth,coherent and adherent deposits of titanium.
文摘In this paper, cold bulge forming of titanium alloy Ti55 was investigated. This process was done successfully and titanium alloy Ti55 was formed completely. Also, in the numerical work, this process has been investigated using Abaqus/ Explicit code. The results show that there is a good agreement between experimental and numerical results. Mechanical properties of Titanium alloy Ti55 have been investigated before and after bulge forming. The results show that mechanical properties of titanium alloy Ti55 have been improved during bulge forming. Also, hardness, and thickness variation tests of sheet metal before and after bulge forming were performed and the same results to mechanical properties were obtained.
