Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a low-temperature titanium alloy, a rod, a product and a preparation method, and belongs to the technical field of advanced materials. Background Art

[0002] Low-temperature titanium alloy components are the core components of the launch vehicle engine system. Due to the sharp increase in the service capability of launch vehicles, traditional low-temperature titanium alloy materials and manufacturing processes can no longer meet the needs of some core components due to increased engine speed. In addition, in today's international situation where scientific and technological competition is increasingly fierce, foreign countries have been strictly blocking my country in the design of high-strength and tough low-temperature titanium alloy composition, forming process and mechanism research. It is particularly important to develop domestically produced low-temperature titanium alloy materials and corresponding manufacturing processes with independent intellectual property rights.

[0003] At present, although the relatively mature TC4ELI, TA7ELI, and CT20 low-temperature titanium alloys developed at home and abroad have been applied, they have more or less some practical engineering problems and cannot meet the new and higher service requirements. TC4ELI, as an α+β type dual-phase titanium alloy, has high hot processing performance and excellent low-temperature specific strength and fracture toughness. However, the high β phase content makes the alloy have a certain ductile-brittle transition phenomenon, resulting in the low-temperature service temperature of TC4ELI titanium alloy being mostly concentrated at 77K, which cannot meet the use requirements of 20K in liquid hydrogen environment. As a near-α type low-temperature titanium alloy, TA7ELI has excellent strength and extremely low notch sensitivity under low temperature conditions of 20K, and has both ideal weldability and economy. It has been used in the development of hydrogen pump impellers and cold helium cylinder components of launch vehicle liquid engines. However, due to the lack of β-stabilizing elements, it has practical problems such as poor strength-plasticity matching and low mechanical property margin under 20K low temperature environment. CT20 titanium alloy is a near-α-type medium-strength low-temperature titanium alloy successfully developed in recent years. Its certain content of β-stabilizing elements not only makes CT20 exhibit good cold and hot processing properties, but also has excellent room temperature and low-temperature properties, process properties and welding properties. It has been successfully applied to the mass production of liquid hydrogen pipeline components for launch vehicle engines. However, the tensile strength of this alloy is only 1300MPa at the low temperature of 20K, and it does not have the characteristics of high-strength and high-toughness low-temperature mechanical properties.

[0004] Foreign countries have always imposed strict blockades on my country in the composition design, preparation technology, forming process and mechanism research of low-temperature high-strength plastic titanium alloys, resulting in my country not yet being at the advanced echelon of low-temperature titanium alloy research. There is an urgent need to develop new high-strength plastic titanium alloys with better performance and stability in low-temperature environments. Summary of the invention

[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] The present embodiment discloses a low-temperature titanium alloy, which is an α+β two-phase titanium alloy, with α-stabilizing elements (Al), β-stabilizing elements (Mo / Nb / V), and neutral elements (Zr) as main components; based on the content of each component being 100%, it includes: Al: 3.3~4.5%, Zr: 1.5~3%, Mo: 0.5~1.5%, V: 0.5~1.5%, Nb: 0.5~1.5%, oxygen content ≤0.12%, unavoidable impurities ≤0.4%, and the balance is Ti.

[0034] Orthogonal tests were used to analyze the influence of each element on low-temperature mechanical properties and the low-temperature cooperative deformation mechanism of α phase / β phase. Taking α-stabilizing element Al and β-stabilizing element Mo as examples, as shown in Table a (in the low-temperature titanium alloy in Table a, the sum of all components is 100%, Zr: 2.0%, V: 1.0%, Nb: 0.5%, oxygen content 0.11%, unavoidable impurities ≤ 0.4%, and the remainder is Ti; the total mass percentage of Al, Mo and Ti is considered to be the same), it was found that with the increase of Al content and Mo content, the tensile strength at 20K increased, but when the Al content and Mo content were at the maximum value at the same time, the elongation decreased. After the oxygen content increased by more than 0.12%, the maximum strength reached 1686MPa, but the elongation also showed this phenomenon. Mainly, with the coordinated increase of Al / Mo element content, the proportion of twin deformation in its low-temperature deformation mode gradually decreased, and dislocation slip became dominant. At this time, dislocation entanglement became an inevitable trend, so there was an increase in 20K low-temperature tensile strength. Figure 4 (a) is the TEM microstructure of the alloy with low Al / Mo content (3.3% Al, 0.5% Mo). Figure 4 (b) is the TEM microstructure of the alloy with high Al / Mo content (4.5% Al, 1.5% Mo).

The low-temperature titanium alloy rod according to claim 5, characterized in that: The primary forging billet cooled to room temperature is heated to T β + (0~50℃) for repeated upsetting-drawing to obtain a round billet, and finally air-cooling the round billet to room temperature, including: The primary forging billet cooled to room temperature is heated again to T β + (0-50°C) for 3-4 hours to fully recrystallize it, and then repeatedly upsetting and drawing at this temperature for 3-5 times, wherein the upsetting height-to-diameter ratio is ≤2, and the drawing is to a height-to-diameter ratio of 2-2.5, and finally to a length-to-diameter ratio of 6-8, and then placed in a 600-700°C annealing furnace for 6-8 hours to obtain a round billet, and finally the round billet is air-cooled to room temperature.
