摘要: TB18钛合金是由我国自主创新研究的一种亚稳态β钛合金,具有良好强韧性匹配能力,可作为新一代无人航空飞行器的优选材料。本研究对TB18钛合金在两相区内不同温度固溶时效热处理后组织和性能之间的关系进行了研究,结果表明,在时效温度和时间为550 ℃,8 h的条件下,随着固溶温度由750 ℃升高至790 ℃,初生αp相发生溶解,使其体积分数减小,次生αs相的厚度和片层长度减小,钛合金抗拉强度逐渐增大,塑韧性逐渐降低;并通过观察不同温度固溶时效热处理后的拉伸试样和断裂韧性试样断口形貌,发现均为韧性断裂,且初生αp相体积分数越低,越容易发生断裂。TB18钛合金经过770 ℃/2h,AC+550℃/8h,AC热处理后具有优异的强度-塑性-断裂韧性匹配,抗拉强度为1 353 MPa,屈服强度为1 282 MPa,断后伸长率为12.0%,断面收缩率为24%,断裂韧度为61.5 MPa·m1/2。Abstract: TB18 titanium alloy is a metastable β titanium alloy independently researched and developed by China. It has excellent matching ability of strength and toughness, and is the preferred material for the new generation of unmanned aerial vehicles. The relations between microstructure and properties of the TB18 alloy subjected to different solution temperature and aging treatments are investigated. Results indicate that under the conditions of aging temperature of 550 °C and aging time of 8 h, as the solution temperature elevates from 750 ℃ to 790 ℃, the primary α phase dissolves, with its fraction volume decreasing, and the thickness and length of lamellar αs phase declines, leading to the gradual increase of the tensile strength and ductility and toughness of the titanium alloy. According to the fracture morphologies of tensile specimens and fracture toughness specimens after heat treatment in the two-phase region with different solution aging temperatures, all the fractures are ductile fracture, and the lower the primary αp phase, the more easily the fracture occurs. The optimum overall performance is achieved with the heat treatment conditions of 770 ℃/2h,AC+550℃/8h, AC, and the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and percentage reduction of area of alloy are 1 353 MPa, 1 282 MPa, 12.0% and 61.5 MPa·m1/2, respectively.
