Abstract
Ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) was applied to TC11 titanium alloy to improve its resistance to hot salt stress corrosion cracking (HSSCC) under high-temperature constant-load tensile conditions. By tailoring the number of processing passes, USRP produced a refined surface finish and introduced a thermally stable compressive residual stress (CRS) field. The CRS stability was maintained through the pinning and entanglement of high-density dislocations, effectively suppressing stress relaxation during thermal-mechanical exposure. The smoother surface reduced local stress concentrations and limited CRS redistribution. In addition, USRP promoted the rapid development of a dense amorphous–nanocrystalline composite oxide film, which served as an effective barrier to corrosive species and mitigated oxygen-induced embrittlement. These combined effects markedly enhanced the HSSCC resistance of TC11 alloy, demonstrating the potential of USRP as a robust surface engineering technique for extending the service life of titanium alloys in aggressive high-temperature salt environments.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
