选区激光熔化成形Ti175合金的高温静态球化机制

    High Temperature Static Spheroidization Mechanism of SLM-fabricated Ti175 Alloy

    • 摘要: 研究系统揭示了选区激光熔化(selective laser melting,SLM)成形的Ti175高温钛合金在热处理过程中熔池中心的结构演变特征与熔池边缘晶粒的静态球化机制。结果表明,SLM成形过程中熔池中心与边缘区域因冷却速率差异分别形成粗大板条α'马氏体与细针状α'马氏体,其中熔池边缘晶粒取向因高密度位错和残余应力累积呈现杂乱分布的特征。经960℃×1h炉冷热处理后,熔池边缘区域晶粒通过残余应力释放驱动位错重组与亚晶界演化机制实现静态球化,晶粒内部取向差降至3°以下;而熔池中心因初始位错密度和残余应力水平较低,主要发生Ostwald熟化主导的板条粗化,保留原始板条形态。球化过程分为曲率驱动的端部迁移和残余应力驱动的亚晶界演化两阶段,其本质为低能位错结构形成与界面能最小化的动态平衡。本研究阐明了残余应力梯度与温度场作用下的组织调控规律,为SLM钛合金构件性能优化提供了理论依据。

       

      Abstract: The structure evolution characteristics of molten pool center and static spheroidization mechanisms of grains at the edge region of SLM-fabricated Ti175 high-temperature titanium alloy during heat treatment were systematically investigated. The results show that due to the cooling rate differences during SLM process, coarse lath α' martensite at the molten pool center and fine acicular α' martensite at the edge form respectively, and the grain orientation distribution at the edge is random due to high dislocation density and residual stress accumulation. After 960 ℃×1h furnace cooling, the grains at the edge region undergo residual stress release-driven static spheroidization via dislocation rearrangement and subgrain boundary evolution, reducing intra-grain misorientation below 3°. The center region experiences Ostwald ripening-dominated lath coarsening while retaining original morphology due to lower dislocation density and residual stress. Spheroidization proceeds through curvature-driven end migration and residual stress-driven subgrain boundary evolution, achieving dynamic equilibrium between the formation of low-energy dislocation structures and interfacial energy minimization. This work elucidates microstructural regulation under residual stress gradient and thermal field, providing theoretical guidance for optimizing SLM titanium components.
