The effect of partial surface strengthening on the strength and plasticity of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy
This study implemented ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) and partial ultrasonic surface rolling processing (PUSRP) on TC4 titanium alloy to construct a bidirectional heterostructure (BH) through controlled rolling-zone width modulation. The BH comprises: (Ⅰ) axial grain gradient heterostructure spanning surface to subsurface layers, and (Ⅱ) radial structural heterostructure between rolled and unrolled zones. Notably, USRP-treated samples exhibited premature fracture due to diminished dislocation accommodation capacity in fully deformed regions. In contrast, PUSRP specimens demonstrated significant tensile property enhancements over both matrix and USRP specimens. Crucially, geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) at heterogeneous boundaries generated substantial back stress during loading, inducing hetero-deformation induced (HDI) stress strengthening. The stacking behavior of GNDs in both directions was analyzed by microhardness, EBSD and dual-beam diffraction, confirming the multiaxial stress states were activated in both radial (rolled zone) and axial (unrolled zone) directions, promoting additional ⟨c + a⟩ slip system activation in unrolled regions that synergistically enhanced HDI strengthening and ductility-stability coordination. However, excessive unrolled zone width (∼6 mm) restricted HDI strengthening propagation, yielding mechanical properties comparable to untreated matrix. This phenomenon of bidirectional heterostructure strengthening provides a new perspective for the preparation of titanium alloy components with excellent mechanical properties.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
