Abstract

In this study, the Ti2AlNb/Ti6Al4V layered metal composite was manufactured through vacuum hot pressing. The fracture toughness (KIC) of the composite reaches 48.8 MPa∙m1/2, demonstrating a notable improvement over the Ti2AlNb alloy. The interface layer formed due to diffusion reactions after hot pressing plays an essential role in enhancing the toughness of the composite. Research indicates that the interface layer is primarily consists of α2-Ti3Al phase and β-Ti phase, which have a lower hardness than the two base alloys. The fracture behavior demonstrates that the composite will undergo interface delamination when it expands to the interface layer, which can deflect the main crack and increase the energy release rate, delaying the fracture of the composite. High mechanical stress and soft interfaces are favorable for the occurrence of interface delamination. Simultaneously, the activation of <c+a> dislocations in α2-Ti3Al within the interface layer, along with the high accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) after fracture, indicates that the interface layer can participate in plastic deformation and coordinate the deformation of the two base alloys. Additionally, the change in material properties from soft to hard during crack propagation reduces the crack driving force and improves fracture resistance.
界面层对Ti2AlNb/Ti6Al4V层状金属复合材料断裂韧性的影响
本研究采用真空热压法制备Ti2AlNb/Ti6Al4V层状金属复合材料。复合材料的断裂韧性(KIC)达到48.8 MPa∙m1/2,较Ti2AlNb合金有显著提高。热压后扩散反应形成的界面层对增强复合材料的韧性起着至关重要的作用。研究表明,界面层主要由α2-Ti3Al相和β-Ti相组成,其硬度低于两种基体合金。断裂行为表明,复合材料膨胀至界面层后发生界面分层,使主裂纹发生偏转,增加了能量释放速率,延缓了复合材料的断裂。高机械应力和软界面有利于界面分层的发生。同时,界面层α2-Ti3Al中<;c+a>;位错的激活,以及断裂后几何必要位错(GND)的大量积累,表明界面层可以参与塑性变形,并协调两基合金的变形。此外,在裂纹扩展过程中,材料性能从软到硬的变化降低了裂纹驱动力,提高了抗断裂能力。

期刊介绍: Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
