锻造温度对TC4钛合金显微组织和断裂韧性的影响

Effect of Forging Temperature on Microstructure and Fracture Toughness of TC4 Titanium Alloy

  • 摘要: 通过锻造温度分别为900 ℃、920 ℃和940 ℃的锻造试验,获得了不同组织形貌的TC4钛合金,系统研究了锻造温度对合金的显微组织以及断裂韧性的影响。结果表明:随着锻造温度的升高,TC4钛合金组织中初生α相的体积分数逐渐减少;次生α相的体积分数逐渐增加,形态由细小碎化态转变为长条平直状,且片层厚度和长厚比逐渐增大;TC4钛合金的断裂韧性呈上升趋势,且断口的表面起伏程度和剪切唇区域的面积逐渐增大;当锻造温度为940 ℃时,TC4钛合金棒材的断裂韧性最好,这是因为次生α相的含量越多、厚度和长厚比越大,裂纹扩展路径越曲折,消耗的能量越多,合金的断裂韧性越好。

     

    Abstract: TC4 alloys with different microstructure morphologies are obtained through forging experiments at different forging temperatures of 900 °C, 920 °C and 940 °C respectively, and the effects of forging temperature on microstructure and fracture toughness of TC4 alloys are systematically studied. The results show that as the forging temperature increases, the content of primary α phase in the microstructure decreases, while the content of secondary α phase increases. The morphology of secondary α phase transforms from fine fragmented state to flat state, and the lamellar thickness and aspect ratio gradually increase. The fracture toughness of TC4 alloy shows an upward trend, and the surface undulation degree and the shear lip zone area of the fracture surface gradually increase. When the forging temperature of TC4 titanium alloy is 940 ℃, the fracture toughness of the TC4 alloy bar is the best. That’s because larger content, thickness and length and width ratio of the secondary α phase make the crack propagation path more tortuous, which will consume more energy, contributing to better fracture toughness of the alloy.
