Abstract

The simultaneous high strength and high plasticity of metastable-β titanium alloy sheets remains a difficult challenge. In this work, a 1.2 mm thick sheet of Ti–15Mo–3Al-2.7Nb-0.25Si titanium alloy was obtained after rolling and annealing, and then subjected to a duplex-ageing treatment. The pre-ageing temperatures fell in the range of 300–390 °C for 0.5–2h. The re-ageing temperatures were in the range of 500–600 °C. After characterization, it was found that the alloy precipitates ω-phases during the pre-ageing process, and the distribution of such ω-phases evolves unevenly and increases in number with the increase of the pre-ageing temperature. Therefore, the strengthening mechanism of the alloy sheet is mainly α-phase nucleation assisted by ω-phase. Moreover, grain refinement appears as a mechanism to ensure the plasticity of the alloy. Finally the ω-phase evolution law is discussed in detail and the strengthening mechanism of the alloy sheet is also analyzed. At this work, a metastable-β titanium alloy sheet with strength of 1445.75 MPa and elongation of 6.55 % was obtained. This study provides a new idea for the microstructure design and process improvement of the metastable-β titanium alloy sheet.

晶粒细化和相析出同时提高超高强度钛合金板的强度和延展性

同时获得高强度和高塑性的易变-β钛合金板材仍然是一项艰巨的挑战。在这项研究中，钛-15Mo-3Al-2.7Nb-0.25Si钛合金板材经轧制和退火后厚度为 1.2 mm，然后进行双相时效处理。预时效温度为 300-390 °C，时间为 0.5-2 小时。再时效温度为 500-600 ℃。表征后发现，合金在预时效过程中会析出ω相，且这种ω相的分布不均匀，数量随预时效温度的升高而增加。因此，合金薄片的强化机制主要是α相在ω相辅助下成核。此外，晶粒细化也是确保合金塑性的一种机制。最后，详细讨论了ω相的演化规律，并分析了合金薄片的强化机制。在这项工作中，获得了强度为 1445.75 兆帕，伸长率为 6.55 % 的可蜕变-β 钛合金薄板。这项研究为可转移-β钛合金板材的微观结构设计和工艺改进提供了新思路。
