Background

In order to reduce the fuel consumption of future aerospace engines and automobile engines and prolong the service life, a great number of advanced high-strength refractory materials with low density, good room temperature toughness and high temperature strength are used in large quantities. Light metal materials such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and the like have characteristics of high specific strength, high specific rigidity and the like, and are widely applied to the manufacturing fields of aerospace, vehicle and ship industries and the like. In recent years, the demand of China for aluminum alloy and composite materials thereof is continuously increased, and a plurality of parts such as automobiles, aviation gas engines, tanks, armored vehicles and the like are made of aluminum alloy materials; the magnesium alloy is the lightest structural metal, has the advantages of high strength, high rigidity, good machinability, good thermal conductivity and the like, and has obvious advantages of reducing the self weight of equipment, reducing the resistance in operation, reducing the energy consumption, increasing the load and the like, but the two alloys have low strength and poor corrosion resistance, and are difficult to meet the requirements of complex working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosive media and the like. Titanium alloy has the properties of small density, good corrosion resistance, high heat resistance, high rigidity and strength and the like, but the high cost is always the bottleneck limiting the wide application of the titanium alloy. Therefore, the development of high-strength refractory alloy with good mechanical property, high thermal shock resistance and excellent corrosion resistance is urgently needed, and the high-strength refractory alloy has great significance for realizing high-quality, low-cost and short-period manufacturing of lightweight parts, relieving energy and environmental protection pressure caused by transportation, saving energy and reducing emission.
