Abstract
Glass lubricants with suitable viscosity, softening temperature and wettability are critical for the high efficiency production of titanium alloys in hot extrusion process. A novel glass lubricant, (26.29–0.263x)B2O3-(41.19–0.412x)SiO2-(6.13–0.061x)Al2O3-(11.39–0.114x)Na2O-(15–0.15x)BaO-xTiO2, was investigated in this paper. The effect of TiO2 content on its viscosity, structure, melting behavior and wettability was investigated from 900 °C to 1100 °C. The results showed that the viscosity value at 950 °C was decreased by 42.83 % from 48.8 Pa s to 27.9 Pa s, when TiO2 content was increased from 0 wt% to 12 wt%. The glass deformation, softening, hemispheric and flow temperatures were increased with an increased TiO2 content, and the sample T2 (3 wt% TiO2) showed a good wettability with the Ti-6Al-4V alloy matrix. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy fitting and molecular dynamics simulations due to show that the increased amounts of Q2, Q3, Q4, [BO3], [AlO4], and [TiO4] in the melts with an increased TiO2 content lead to a weakened network homogeneity and symmetry, and consequently a reduced viscosity. Furthermore, lubricant T2 was recommended due to its softening temperature value of 759.1 °C, wetting angle value of 8.1° and viscosity value of 46.6 Pa s at 950 °C, and a small viscosity variation was observed from 950 °C to 1100 °C, which is a typical temperature change in TC4 hot extrusion.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
