    Study on Microstructure and Properties of Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17)x Alloys Fabricated by Vacuum Arc Melting

    • 摘要: 旨在研究Gd2Fe17含量对Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17x合金组织与性能的影响。采用真空电弧熔炼技术制备Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17x合金。通过X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜以及差分热膨胀仪等手段,研究了不同Gd2Fe17含量对合金微观组织与性能的影响。结果表明:Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17x合金均由β-Ti和Gd-Fe金属间化合物(IMCs) 析出相构成;随着Gd2Fe17含量的增加,合金中的Gd-Fe IMCs含量逐渐增多,使合金抗拉强度持续升高,伸长率先增后降,热膨胀系数逐步降低。其中Ti95(Gd2Fe17)5合金展现出最优综合性能,其抗拉强度、伸长率及热膨胀系数分别达774 MPa、7.3%和8.5×10-6/℃;与Ti98(Gd2Fe17)2合金相比,其抗拉强度、伸长率分别提升26.5%和40.4%,热膨胀系数降低4.5%。该合金优异的综合性能归因于基体中均匀弥散分布的细小低膨胀Gd-Fe IMCs的强化与热膨胀补偿作用。

       

      Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of Gd2Fe17 content on the microstructure and properties of Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17)x alloys. This series of the alloys was fabricated using vacuum arc melting technology. The effects of Gd2Fe17 content on the microstructure and properties of the alloys were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential thermal dilatometry and other characterization mothods. The results demonstrate that the alloys consist of β-Ti matrix and Gd-Fe intermetallic compounds(IMCs) precipitated phases. With increasing Gd2Fe17 content, the volume fraction of Gd-Fe IMCs in the alloys increases gradually, which leads to a continuous rise in fracture strength, and an initial increase followed by a decrease in elongation. Conversely, a gradual reduction in thermal expansion coefficient. Among all the alloys, Ti100-x(Gd2Fe17)x exhibits the optimal comprehensive performance, with a fracture strength of 774 MPa, an elongation of 7.3%, and a thermal expansion coefficient of 8.5×10-6/℃. Compared with the Ti98(Gd2Fe17)2 alloy, its fracture strength and elongation are increased by 26.5% and 40.4%, respectively, whereas its thermal expansion coefficient is decreased by 4.5%. The excellent comprehensive performance of the alloy is attributed to the strengthening and thermal expansion compensation effects of the fine, low-expansion Gd-Fe IMCs that are uniformly and dispersively distributed in the matrix.
