Abstract

γ-TiAlNb intermetallic compound is a highly promising material for aircraft structural components. A 46Ti-46Al-8Nb intermetallic compound was prepared and subjected to three different heat treatments. The changes in phase composition, microstructure, and hardness of the as-cast samples and heat-treated samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and Rockwell hardness. Subsequently, the material was designed for milling of thin-wall structures, with a focus on side milling. The milling process was investigated under different axial and radial cutting depths, and the variations in multi-directional cutting forces were analyzed, taking into consideration the surface quality of the machined parts. The results indicate that the γ-TiAlNb intermetallic compound possesses high hardness and brittleness. With increasing heat treatment temperature, the content of TiAl phase significantly decreases, while the content of AlTi3 phase increases notably. The β-Ti phase containing Nb remains nearly unchanged and is mainly located at grain boundaries. Heat treatment can enhance the machinability of the TiAlNb intermetallic compound. A heat treatment process involving a 1-hour hold at 1200 °C followed by furnace cooling results in reduced Rockwell hardness, lower milling forces in three directions and improved surface quality.

γ-TiAlNb 金属间化合物高强度脆性薄板铣削加工性分析
γ-TiAlNb金属间化合物是一种极有前途的飞机结构部件材料。研究人员制备了 46Ti-46Al-8Nb 金属间化合物,并对其进行了三种不同的热处理。使用 X 射线衍射 (XRD)、扫描电子显微镜 (SEM)、电子反向散射衍射 (EBSD) 和洛氏硬度表征了原铸样品和热处理样品的相组成、微观结构和硬度变化。随后,该材料被设计用于铣削薄壁结构,重点是侧铣。研究了不同轴向和径向切削深度下的铣削过程,并分析了多方向切削力的变化,同时考虑到了加工零件的表面质量。结果表明,γ-TiAlNb 金属间化合物具有较高的硬度和脆性。随着热处理温度的升高,TiAl 相的含量明显降低,而 AlTi3 相的含量显著增加。含 Nb 的 β-Ti 相几乎保持不变,主要位于晶界。热处理可提高 TiAlNb 金属间化合物的机加工性能。热处理过程包括在 1200 °C 下保温 1 小时,然后回炉冷却,这样可以降低洛氏硬度,降低三个方向的铣削力,改善表面质量。
