The room-temperature compression test was carried out using an Instron model 5582 Universal Material testing machine, and the compression rates of the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy were the same and were 1X 10-3s-1The room temperature compression curve of the alloy is shown in figure 4, the yield strength (sigma 0.2) of the NbTiAl-1 alloy material is 1024MPa, and the NbTiAl-1 alloy material shows certain work hardening capacity and total true strain deformation after yielding>60 percent. The yield strength (sigma 0.2) of the NbTiAl-2 alloy material is 995MPa, and the NbTiAl-2 alloy material also shows certain work hardening capacity and total true strain deformation after yielding>60%。
As shown in FIG. 5, the compressive yield strengths of the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy at 800 ℃ are 611MPa and 583MPa, respectively, and both have certain work hardening capacity in the initial stage of deformation, but the deformation is changed from work hardening to work softening with the increase of the deformation amount, and the total true strain deformation amount is more than 60%.
As shown in FIG. 6, the compressive yield strengths of NbTiAl-1 alloy and NbTiAl-2 alloy at 900 deg.C were 437MPa and 504MPa, respectively, both of which exhibited a continuous work softening phenomenon after yielding.
As shown in FIG. 7, the compressive yield strengths of the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy at 1000 ℃ are 237MPa and 360MPa respectively, and the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy also show a continuous processing softening phenomenon after yielding, and the softening phenomenon is more obvious than that at 900 ℃. The NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy both keep good compression plasticity at the temperature, and the true strain deformation is more than 60 percent.
As shown in FIG. 8, the compressive yield strength of the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy at various temperatures is summarized, and although the yield strength of the NbTiAl-2 alloy at room temperature and 800 ℃ is lower than that of the NbTiAl-1 alloy, the high-temperature softening resistance of the NbTiAl-2 alloy is better than that of the NbTiAl-1 alloy along with the temperature rise, and the high-temperature solid solution strengthening effect of the Mo element is embodied.
As shown in FIG. 3, the TEM dark field image of the NbTiAl-1 alloy shows that the NbTiAl-1 alloy has a large amount of nanoscale B2 precipitated phase. Thus, the excellent room temperature and high temperature yield strength of the alloy is due in part to the nanoscale B2 precipitate phase driven by the Al/Ti element, which acts as a significant second phase strengthening. And the nanometer B2 precipitated phase driven by the Al/Ti element has high temperature stability and high temperature strength, so that the high temperature strength of the alloy can be effectively improved. However, since the NbTiAl-1 alloy and the NbTiAl-2 alloy contain a small amount of Al element, most of them are dissolved in the matrix and only a trace amount of B2 precipitated phase is formed, and thus a diffraction peak of B2 phase cannot be recognized by XRD.
The embodiment result shows that Ti/Al/V elements are introduced into the Nb matrix, so that the density of the refractory alloy is remarkably reduced while the intrinsic plasticity of the alloy is maintained, and the oxidation resistance of the refractory alloy is effectively improved by adding the Al elements. Simultaneously, Nb with excellent mechanical property is prepared by a certain process meansxTiyAlzV10(TaHfMoW)90-(x+y+z)A multi-principal element alloy. According to the invention, by alloying of Al element and utilizing Al/Ti drive of incomplete amplitude modulation decomposition induced by a rapid solidification process, the alloy precipitation behavior is modulated, so that the strength of the alloy is obviously improved by the precipitation strengthening effect of the nanoscale second phase, and meanwhile, the intrinsic plasticity of the alloy is maintained. And the high-temperature strength of the alloy is improved, the density is reduced, and the refractory multi-principal-element alloy with high specific strength is developed.
In addition, the low-density plastic refractory Nb of the inventionxTiyAlzV10(TaHfMoW)90-(x+y+z)The density distribution of the multi-principal-element alloy is that rho is more than or equal to 7.2 and less than or equal to 7.9g/cm3Far lower than the traditional Ni and Co base high temperature alloy; the room temperature compressive yield strength is 950-1100 MPa, and the corresponding room temperature maximum compressive plasticity>50 percent; the compressive yield strength is 560-680 MPa at 800 ℃, and the maximum compressive plasticity at room temperature is correspondingly>50 percent; the compressive yield strength is 430-580 MPa at 900 ℃, and the maximum compressive plasticity at room temperature is correspondingly>50 percent; compressive yield at 1000 deg.CThe strength is 230-400 MPa, and the maximum compression plasticity at the corresponding room temperature>50 percent.
