Ti6321钛合金脉冲电场增塑效应研究

    Plasticization Effect of Ti6321 Titanium Alloy by Pulsed Electric Current Treatment

    • 摘要: 在低于再结晶温度(温度为300℃)的条件下对Ti6321钛合金进行脉冲电场处理,并对原始态合金在电阻炉中进行相同温度300℃的热处理,比较了脉冲处理前后试样和300℃热处理后试样的力学性能。采用金相显微镜、背散射电子衍射对试样在脉冲电场处理前后同一位置区域的组织进行检测分析。使用透射电镜观察分析脉冲电场处理前后位错变化,通过XRD图谱计算位错密度。结果表明:与原合金相比,脉冲电场处理后Ti6321钛合金的塑性明显提高,断后伸长率由10.6%提高到13.9%;原合金经300℃热处理后力学性能几乎没有变化。脉冲处理后合金的金相组织和晶粒尺寸并未改变,但是KAM值和小角度晶界比例明显减小。脉冲电场可以降低位错密度,提高材料塑性。

       

      Abstract: Ti6321 titanium alloy was treated by pulsed electric current at 300 ℃, which is below the recrystallization temperature, and the original alloy was treated at the same temperature of 300 ℃ in a resistance furnace. The mechanical properties of the sample before and after pulse electric field treatment and the sample after heat treatment at 300 ℃ were compared. The microstructure of the sample in the same position before and after pulsed electric field treatment was characterized by metallurgical microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD). The changes of dislocations before and after pulsed electric field treatment were observed and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The dislocation density was calculated through XRD pattern. The results show that compared with those of the original alloy, the plasticity of Ti6321 titanium alloy is significantly improved after pulse electric field treatment, and the elongation at break is increased from 10.6% to 13.9%. The mechanical properties of the original alloy remain almost unchanged after heat treatment at 300 ℃. The metallographic structure and grain size of the alloy does not change after pulse electric field treatment, but the KAM value and the proportion of small angle grain boundaries significantly decrease. Pulsed electric field can reduce the dislocation density and improve the material plasticity.
