Abstract
The superiority of additively manufactured titanium alloys on the preparation of exotic components makes it extensively applied to aero-engine applications. However, the most significant challenges of aero-engine titanium alloys are the prolonged exposure to high-temperature oxidation. Improving the high temperature oxidation performance is urgently required. This study explores the effect of 0.2 wt% B and 0.1 wt% La element co-doping on the microstructure of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V, and investigates its oxidation behavior and the stability of its mechanical properties after oxidation at high temperatures (600 °C–700 °C) for 96 h. The experimental results demonstrate the synergistic effect of the co-doping of the two elements: grain refinement reduced from 1.13 ± 0.26 μm to 0.51 ± 0.12 μm and high temperature oxidation performance was significantly enhanced. Moreover, the La2O3 in the samples effectively prevents the grain extension at high temperatures for short durations and consequently stabilizes the mechanical performance.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
