The experimental results show that obvious grain refinement can be observed in the topmost surface layer of the shot peened TC4 titanium alloy rod specimens. Moreover, a large number of crater defects left on the surface of specimens leading to the increase of surface roughness.

Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analyses were performed for the microstructural characterisation, which also concerned quantitative analyses on Si particles to deepen the effect of the solidification rates on their geometrical features. In-situ fatigue tests in a scanning electron microscope and electron backscattered diffraction analyses were carried out to study the two-dimensional fatigue behaviour of the alloy depending on the coarseness of the microstructural features. Focused ion beam slices and three-dimensional tomography were performed ahead of the crack tips, revealing micro-cracks closer to the intermetallic particles with the decreasing of the microstructural coarseness. EBSD analyses also supported results correlating the effect of different solidification rates on the transgranular/intergranular propagation paths. In contrast, tensile and microhardness tests were also conducted to better understand the mechanical properties of the alloy. The results showed that the solidification rate and the heat treatment have a synergic effect in controlling the fatigue crack initiation and the subsequent propagation path. Specifically, higher solidification rates lead to a finer microstructure with smaller, rounder Si particles, increased hardness of the α-Al matrix, and concentrated fatigue crack initiation and propagation in eutectic areas.

The microstructure evolution and toughening mechanism before and after cold rolling were investigated by experimental and finite element methods. The hardness and strength of the composite cast strip were higher than that of 6063 aluminium alloy due to grain refinement and dislocation obstruction of SiC particles. After cold rolling, the strength of the composite material increased by 33 MPa, with a substantial 240.2 % increase in elongation from 9.7 ± 3 % to 33 ± 5 %. The significant increase in elongation is mainly attributed to the high proportion of &lt;111&gt;//RD {Cubic} texture (48.5 %) of the densely packed surface providing favourable conditions for dislocation slip, allowing the material to coordinate deformation through dislocation motion. The simulation and KAM results confirm that there is stress concentration around the SiC particles, which can share the stress and hinder the crack propagation. This corresponds to the low angle grain boundary of the composite material after cold rolling up to 97.7 %. Different from 6063 alloy, the recrystallisation volume of composite materials fraction increased to 5.15 % and possessed uniform continuous recrystallisation characteristics to uniformly disperse the stress. This makes the composite material structure more uniform, reduces local stress, and improves comprehensive mechanical properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":385,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: A","volume":"936 ","pages":"Article 148390"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143892318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
