Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of alloy, be specifically related to a kind of rare earth that adds and improve boracic high-entropy alloy medium and small atomic boron gap solid solution strengthening effect, improve boride and separate out form and distribution, the synchronous method improving boracic high-entropy alloy obdurability.
Background technology
High-entropy alloy is one of focus of new structural metallic materials research in recent years, and its primary alloy constituent is configured with equimolar ratio or nearly equimolar ratio by 5 to 11 kinds of principal elements, can have good hardness, intensity, corrosion-resistant, resistance to oxidation and high-temperature heat-resistance performance concurrently.The main enhancement method that high-entropy alloy has been reported, generally by improving the thick atom alloying element contents such as Al, Ti, Mo to increase the lattice distortion of over-saturation substitutional solid solution, promotes solid solution strengthening effect.From atomic structure, solution strengthening theory thinks that the distortion that displaced type solid solution atom causes in matrix lattice is mostly spherically symmetric, and the interpolation of interstitial atom can make lattice produce asymmetrical distortion, there are some researches show the solid solution strengthening effect of interstitial atom apparently higher than substitutional solid solution.But the interstitial compound that both can be made to be formed due to combination strong between nonmetal and metallic element has high thermodynamics TiFe_xM_y alloy, add in high-entropy alloy after little atomic boron element very easily causes alloy graining and separate out brittle borides thick in a large number, reduce the toughness of solid solution strengthening effect and alloy.Therefore, improve the solid solution strengthening effect of nonmetal little atomic boron in high-entropy alloy, improve precipitation content and the form of the thick boride of fragility, become synchronous and improve boracic high-entropy alloy obdurability technology in the urgent need to address.
Summary of the invention
For overcoming the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes and a kind ofly add the method that a small amount of rare-earth yttrium or Ce elements improve little atomic boron strengthening effect in high-entropy alloy, to improving the precipitation content of brittle borides hard phase, form and distribution, thus synchronous intensity and the toughness improving boracic high-entropy alloy.
In order to realize above technical purpose, the present invention is achieved by the following technical programs.
The present invention is a kind of adds the method that rare earth improves boracic high-entropy alloy obdurability, specifically: combine in high-entropy alloy elementary composition more than 5 kinds or 5 kinds simultaneously and add boron and rare earth element; In described high-entropy alloy composition, often kind of constituent content accounts for 2 ~ 35% of alloy total mole number respectively; The boron content of described interpolation accounts for 0.1 ~ 8% of alloy total mole number; The rare earth element of described interpolation is yttrium or cerium, and it accounts for 0.1 ~ 4% of alloy total mole number.
The principles of science of the present invention and effect:
Contrast with the identical component boracic high-entropy alloy not containing rare earth element, rare earth element can reduce precipitation content and the size of thick boride in boracic high-entropy alloy, improve boride distributional pattern, be conducive to improving the gap solid solubility of boron in high-entropy alloy solid solution matrix, thus improve the gap solid solution of boron in high-entropy alloy and second-phase strength effect, avoid toughness to reduce rapidly while improving high-entropy alloy hardness.In addition, rare earth element can also play purification crystal boundary similar in conventional alloys, the effect of crystal grain thinning.
Proposition of the present invention solves the not easily solid solution in high-entropy alloy of nonmetal boron, often with the problem that thick brittle borides form is separated out, thus can promote the highly malleablized effect of boracic high-entropy alloy, improve high-entropy alloy comprehensive mechanical property, and use wide general.

Embodiment
Prepare more than 5 kinds elementary composition high-entropy alloys by the requirement of Composition Design, then add boron and the rare earth element of desired content.Its purity of sample raw material chosen is not less than 99%, intercepts appropriate raw material, then mixed by obtained raw material from mother metal.Adopt electric-heating-wire-heating method subsequently, induction heating, the block materials technologies of preparing such as mechanical alloying method, powder metallurgic method, arc melting method, or the high-entropy alloy coating of adding boron and rare earth element is combined in the preparation of the coat preparing technology such as laser melting coating, plasma spraying.Displaing micro tissue topography is adopted to observe the form of boride precipitation on melted sample, utilize Vickers hardness tester test sample hardness simultaneously, experiment power is 10Kg, due to the crackle that the fragility that material is different will cause indentation hardness tip to form different lengths, the fragility of the crack length change comparative material formed by various sample impression tip.Below will prepare boracic high-entropy alloy coating by embodiment 1 arc melting block boracic high-entropy alloy and embodiment 2 laser melting coating and the concrete implementation result of the present invention will be described.
