Abstract
To meet the increasingly complex environmental demands, titanium aluminum (TiAl) alloys need to be improved in microstructural stability and high temperature strength. However, traditional TiAl alloys exhibit poor ductility, which are incompatible with conventional manufacturing techniques such as casting and forging. Aiming to overcome these limitations, this work presents a micro/nano multiphase synergistically reinforced TiAl-based composite with optimal addition of 0.10 at.% LaB6 via directed energy deposition, showing a homogeneously equiaxed fully lamellar. Meanwhile, the ultimate tensile strength at room temperature is 997 MPa, which is 187 MPa higher than the pure TiAl alloy (810 MPa), even at 900 °C it remains at 685 MPa that is over 100 MPa higher than the pure TiAl alloy (560 MPa). Besides, the multi-stage network structure formed by TiB and La2O3 precipitates significantly improves the stability of the microstructure. The present work offers an alternative solution for designing enhanced TiAl-based composites with stable microstructures via additive manufacturing.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development.
The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
