热锻CT20钛合金低温断裂韧性和失效机制研究

    Research on Low Temperature Fracture Toughness and Failure Mechanism of CT20 Titanium Alloy by Hot Forging

    • 摘要: 热锻工艺使得组织重新排列和均匀化,这有助于提高钛合金的强度和韧性。研究了热锻后CT20钛合金在低温下(20、-30和-90℃)的断裂韧性及断裂机制。通过有限元分析了不同低温条件下裂纹尖端塑性区面积的动态演变,对裂纹扩展路径的弯曲度与长度进行量化,明确了低温下能量耗散和裂纹扩展对合金断裂韧性的贡献。结果表明:随着温度从20℃降低到-90℃,材料在断裂过程中所需消耗的能量从431.01 kJ/m2降低到160.26 kJ/m2,断裂方式由韧性断裂逐渐转变为准解理断裂。随着温度的降低,裂纹尖端塑性区面积减小,应力集中现象明显,裂纹萌生阻力减弱;扩展路径由凹凸不平转变为近乎直线,弯曲度由1.36降低到1.11。在低温下,α相界对裂纹扩展抵抗能力减弱,加速了裂纹扩展。

       

      Abstract: The hot forging process rearranges and homogenizes the structure, which help improve the strength and toughness of titanium alloys. The fracture toughness and fracture mechanism of CT20 titanium alloy after hot forging at low temperature(20 ℃,-30 ℃ and-90 ℃) were studied. The dynamic evolution of crack tip plastic zone area at different low temperatures was analyzed by finite element method. The bending degree and length of crack growth path were quantified.The contribution of energy dissipation and crack growth to the fracture toughness of the alloy was determined. The results show that as the temperature decreases from 20 ℃ to-90 ℃, the energy required to consume the material during the fracture process decreases from 431.01 kJ/m~2 to 160.26 kJ/m~2, and the fracture mode gradually changes from ductile fracture to quasi-cleavage fracture. With the decrease of temperature, the plastic zone area of crack tip decreases, the stress concentration phenomenon is obvious, and the crack initiation resistance is weakened. The growth path changes from uneven to almost straight, the curvature decreases from 1.36 to 1.11, and the resistance of α phase boundary to crack growth is weakened at low temperature, which accelerates the crack growth.
