Description

Titanium alloy-based composite material with micro-structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of metal matrix composite materials, and particularly relates to a titanium alloy matrix composite material with a micro-structure, and a preparation method of the composite material.
Background
The titanium alloy has the excellent characteristics of low density, high specific strength, good biocompatibility and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of automobile instruments, marine equipment, medical instruments, aerospace, military and the like. Among them, the Ti6Al4V alloy belonging to the α + β type is the most typical, most studied and mature titanium alloy at present because of its outstanding performance and commercial utility rate of more than 50%. However, as the application requirements are continuously raised, the wear resistance, heat resistance and strength of the alloy are further improved due to the limit of the self-structure. In recent years, by introducing a TiB reinforcing phase having good compatibility with a matrix into a titanium alloy matrix, a discontinuous reinforced titanium-based composite material (DRTMCs) obtained exhibits more excellent strength, modulus, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties than the titanium alloy, and thus is receiving attention. However, it is worth noting that the conventional DRTMCs are usually prepared by using an existing commercial titanium alloy as a matrix, and since the content and the type of alloying elements in the titanium alloy matrix are determined, the added reinforcement is very likely to be incompatible with an alloy system, and an in-situ reaction occurs under certain conditions to destroy the balance of the composition and the structure of the matrix alloy in a micro-area, thereby causing the difficulty in regulating and controlling the structure and performance of the DRTMCs system, and the plasticity/toughness is significantly reduced while the strength is improved, so that the material performance is difficult to meet the application requirements.
In the conventional preparation process of DRTMCs, most researchers often pursue uniform distribution of the reinforcing phase in the matrix to achieve a strong toughness match. However, more and more studies show that the DRTMCs with uniformly distributed reinforcing phases only show limited strengthening effect and poor plastic toughness level (El ≈ 1%), and particularly the DRTMCs prepared by powder metallurgy show great room temperature brittleness. In recent years, related researches show that the problem of poor plasticity and toughness of the DRTMCs prepared by the powder metallurgy method can be effectively solved by changing the uniform distribution state of the reinforcing phase. For example, (Chinese patent TiBw/Ti alloy matrix composite preparation method (application No. 200810136852.8, publication No. 10133607), and Chinese patent high-temperature oxidation-resistant TiCp/Ti alloy matrix composite preparation method (application No. 200910071986.0, publication No. 101550496), both of which are based on H-S theory and grain boundary strengthening theory, design a composite configuration DRTMCs with reinforcing phases in quasi-continuous network distribution, which shows more excellent comprehensive performance than the conventional titanium alloy matrix composite with uniformly distributed reinforcing phases.

As is apparent from comparing fig. 3(a) and (b), the addition of vanadium, which is an alloying element, in the present invention significantly affects the size of the TiB reinforcement and suppresses the coarsening behavior of the TiB whiskers at higher sintering temperatures, as compared to the single addition of Al element in comparative example 2.
(4) The titanium alloy-based composite material with the micro-structure has excellent mechanical property and greatly improved elongation. Fig. 3 shows stress-strain curves of the composite materials prepared in example 1, comparative example 1 and comparative example 2. As can be seen by comparison, the titanium alloy-based composite material having the microstructure had a maximum tensile strength of 1070MPa, a yield strength of 1026MPa, and an elongation of 11.9%. The titanium-based composite material (single alpha phase) with TiB in non-uniform distribution formed by adding the aluminum element has the maximum tensile strength of 980MPa, the yield strength of 927MPa and the elongation of 6.2 percent. The maximum tensile strength of the TiB reinforced titanium alloy-based composite material with uniform distribution is 961MPa, the yield strength is 950MPa, and the elongation is only 3.6%. Therefore, compared with the traditional titanium alloy-based composite material with TiB uniformly distributed, the titanium alloy-based composite material with the micro-structure has the advantages that the strength is improved, the elongation is greatly improved, and the titanium alloy-based composite material with good strong plasticity matching is obtained. The addition of the Al element effectively promotes the TiB whiskers to be distributed in a pellet shape, and the formation of the structure can play a role in improving the mechanical property, hardness, wear resistance and the like of the composite material; the addition of the vanadium alloy element promotes the matrix structure to be converted from a single alpha phase to an alpha + beta phase to form an alpha + beta type dual-phase titanium alloy matrix with high ductility and toughness, so that the material can effectively hinder the expansion of cracks in the pellets to the matrix under the loaded condition, and the purpose of improving the ductility and toughness of the composite material is realized. On the basis, compared with the method of adding Al element alone, the vanadium can affect the size distribution of the TiB whisker, inhibit the phenomenon that the TiB whisker is obviously coarsened at high temperature, and effectively exert the strengthening effect.
Compared with the TiB enhanced TMCs with the novel three-dimensional pellet composite configuration and the preparation method (application number: 2020112394480), the single alpha-phase matrix structure is converted into an alpha + beta double-phase structure by adding alpha-phase and beta-phase stable alloy elements into a composite system, and the obtained materials are obviously different in mechanism, structure and performance. The invention can play the following roles by adding alloy elements of aluminum and vanadium into a spherical TiB-Ti composite powder system:
(1) adding an alloy element vanadium: as a beta stable element, vanadium is added into a TiB-Ti composite powder system, alpha phase and beta phase with different proportions can be obtained in a matrix structure, which is beneficial to forming alpha + beta type dual-phase structure by the matrix, titanium alloy combining the advantages of single-phase alpha alloy (good weldability) and two-phase alloy (heat treatment strengthening and good plasticity and toughness) is obtained, and the characteristics of no eutectoid reaction and intermetallic compound generation in the Ti-V system are utilized, so that the plastic deformation capability of the composite material is greatly improved, and the exertion of the plasticity and toughness of the material is guaranteed. In addition, compared with the independent addition of aluminum element, the addition of vanadium alloy element can influence the size distribution of the TiB reinforcement, so that the coarsening phenomenon of the TiB whisker under the high-temperature sintering condition is effectively inhibited, the strengthening effect of the TiB reinforcement is fully exerted, and the improvement of the mechanical property of the titanium alloy matrix is guaranteed. This is an effect that is not achieved by the composite material of application No. 2020112394480.
(2) Adding an alloy element of aluminum: by utilizing the characteristic of low melting point (660 ℃) of aluminum and combining with higher sintering temperature (more than 1000 ℃) in the spark plasma sintering process of titanium and titanium alloy, the alloy element aluminum fills up gaps of the spherical TiB-Ti-based composite powder in the form of molten aluminum liquid in the sintering process, and by utilizing mutual diffusion between the alloy element aluminum and the spherical TiB-Ti-based composite powder, a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound layer with a core-shell structure is formed on the surface of the spherical composite powder, so that TiB whiskers in the composite powder can be inhibited from diffusing and growing outwards, and the formation of a micro-configuration is ensured. At high temperature, the titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound layer is decomposed, and the aluminum element is completely dissolved in the matrix to form the titanium alloy matrix composite material with the micro-configuration.
The titanium alloy-based composite material with the micro-structure prepared by the invention can realize effective regulation and control of the structure, the size and the matrix structure of the micro-structure only by regulating the content of the added alloy elements and the particle size of the composite powder in a composite system. Compared with the DRTMCs with uniform distribution under the same TiB content, the titanium alloy-based composite material with the microstructure designed and prepared by the invention has greatly improved elongation while improving the material strength.
