Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of a zirconium alloy fabricated by electron beam freeform fabrication
In this study, a zirconium (Zr) alloys was prepared by electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF3) technology. The microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance properties of the as-deposited (AD) sample were systematically investigated. The results showed the AD sample was mainly composed of α phases, exhibiting the characteristics of coarse laths and preferred orientation. The ultimate strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), and the elongation of the AD sample were 442 MPa, 405 MPa, and 16.9 %, respectively. The average microhardness of the AD sample was 163 HV0.2. Compared to the rolled (RO) substrate, the AD sample exhibited a decrease in the mechanical properties due to the formation of α laths. However, the AD sample exhibited better electrochemical corrosion resistance. The breakdown potential of the AD sample was 1.16 V, which was much higher than that of the RO sample (0.65 V). In addition, the oxidation rate of the AD sample in deionized water at 360 °C/18.6 MPa was comparable to that of the RO sample. This study suggests that the EBF3 technology is a viable method for fabricating Zr alloy parts.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
