Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medium-entropy alloys, and relates to a high-strength corrosion-resistant iron-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Medium-entropy alloys are developed on the basis of high-entropy alloys, containing two to four main elements, with a mixing entropy of 1R - 1.5R, easily forming a simple solid solution and having a lower stacking fault energy. Medium-entropy alloys are an inevitable product of the "performance-oriented" development of high-entropy alloys towards alloy design, compatible with excellent performance and relatively low cost. However, for both high-entropy and medium-entropy alloys, researchers have been trying to continuously optimize the alloy properties, especially for mechanical properties, that is, to improve the strength-ductility matching of the alloy. Co-Cr-Ni alloys are typical representatives of medium-entropy alloys. Researchers have obtained Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloys with heterogeneous structures by controlling the alloy microstructure, grain size, and FCC-L12 nano-precipitation behavior through cryogenic cold rolling at 77K combined with heat treatment processes. This alloy has a strength as high as 2.2 GPa and an elongation of 13% at the same time (Du, X.H., Li, W.P., Chang, H.T. et al. Dual heterogeneous structures lead to ultrahigh strength and uniform ductility in a Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloy. Nat Commun, 2020, 11:2390). According to reports, after hot working and 47h aging treatment, the yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation of the Fe-Ni-Al-Ti medium-entropy alloy reached 868 MPa, 1830 MPa, and 12% respectively. In this alloy, precipitation strengthening, martensitic phase transformation during the deformation process, and transformation-induced plasticity are the internal mechanisms for the improvement of the strength and ductility of the alloy (Yang Y., Chen T.Y., Tan L.Z. et al. Bifunctional nanoprecipitates strengthen and ductilize a medium-entropy alloy. Nature, 2021, 595:245–249). Currently, in the research and development of high-strength and ultra-high-strength high-entropy alloys / medium-entropy alloys, high-density dispersed nano-precipitates are considered to be able to effectively improve the alloy strength without sacrificing plasticity, and have been widely applied and achieved many breakthrough results. However, the current research and development system focuses on the FeCoNi system, FeCoNiCr system, and FeNiCr system, which generally contain a large amount of Co or Ni, with a high cost, greatly limiting their large-scale application. In addition, most medium / high-entropy alloy composition systems contain a certain amount of Cr element and should have good corrosion resistance. However, most studies only focus on their mechanical properties. Corrosion performance is directly related to the service life of materials. Studying the comprehensive properties such as mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of high-performance materials can establish the corresponding relationship between service performance and the environment, providing data support for the service reliability of materials.

[0003] Based on this, a high-strength iron-based corrosion-resistant medium-entropy alloy with a lower cost and a tensile strength ≥ 1900 MPa is developed, which also has good corrosion resistance. At the same time, the preparation method of this alloy is economical, safe and reliable, and is suitable for large-scale production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength corrosion-resistant iron-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa level and a preparation method, so as to obtain a high-strength corrosion-resistant iron-based medium-entropy alloy with a lower cost and a tensile strength ≥ 1900 MPa, which also has good corrosion resistance. The preparation method of this medium-entropy alloy is economical, safe and reliable.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A high-strength corrosion-resistant iron-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa level, and the chemical composition of this medium-entropy alloy by weight percentage is:

[0007] Fe a%; Cr b%; Ni c%; Al d%; Ti e%; Mo f%; Cu g%; P i%; S j%; where, 47 < a < 58, 13 ≤ b ≤ 15, 22 < c ≤ 25, 2 ≤ d ≤ 3, 4 ≤ e ≤ 6, 1 ≤ f ≤ 2, 0 ≤ g ≤ 1, i ≤ 0.001, j ≤ 0.001, a + b + c + d + e + f + g + i + j = 100; the mixing entropy is 1R - 1.5R, R = 8.314 J / (mol*K).

[0008] The purity of the metal raw materials of Fe, Cr, Ni, Al, Ti, Mo, and Cu is all ≥ 99.95 wt.%.

[0009] In the high-strength corrosion-resistant FeCrNiAlTi-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa level, the Ni element can stabilize the FCC structure, ensure that the alloy exists stably in the FCC structure at room temperature, and is beneficial to the large-deformation plastic processing of the alloy. The Cr element is the key element for the corrosion resistance of the alloy, and the Mo element can further improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The addition of Al and Ti elements is beneficial to the formation of precipitation phases with Fe and Ni elements. During the preparation process of the alloy, large-deformation cold rolling can effectively break the grains and provide more nucleation sites for the precipitation phases. Medium-temperature aging can promote the precipitation of the precipitation phases while restricting their growth, and at the same time inhibit the grain growth and relieve the internal stress. The combined action of fine-grain strengthening, precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening strengthens the FeCrNiAlTi-based medium-entropy alloy.

[0010] A preparation method of a high-strength corrosion-resistant iron-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa level, which uses a magnetic levitation vacuum induction furnace for smelting, plastic processing and forming after homogenizing the sample, and then obtains the medium-entropy alloy through aging treatment. The specific steps are as follows:

[0011] 1) Prepare raw materials: Weigh and proportion the constituent elements of the medium-entropy alloy according to the stated weight percentages.

[0012] 2) Melting: The magnetic levitation vacuum induction melting is carried out under the protection of argon with a purity of more than 99.99%. The argon filling pressure is -60 kPa to -65 kPa, the melting current is 200 A to 300 A, and it is turned over and remelted more than 3 times. Each melting time is 5 to 7 minutes, and finally an ingot with uniform composition is obtained.

[0013] 3) Homogenization treatment: The ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment at 1100 °C to 1200 °C for 2 h to 12 h.

[0014] 4) Rolling forming: It is formed by hot rolling and cold rolling in sequence.

[0015] 5) Aging treatment: The rolled sample is aged at 500 °C to 700 °C for 2 h to 12 h to obtain a high-strength and corrosion-resistant medium-entropy alloy.

[0016] In step 4), after the ingot is held at 1100 °C to 1200 °C for 2 h to 12 h, it is directly hot rolled. The starting rolling temperature is 1150 °C to 1200 °C, the final rolling temperature is not lower than 980 °C, the total hot rolling deformation is 50% to 60%, and it is water cooled after rolling. Then the sample is solution treated at 1050 °C to 1150 °C for 1 h, and then cold rolled. The total cold rolling deformation is 80% to 85%.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] The high-strength and corrosion-resistant FeCrNiAlTi-based medium-entropy alloy with a tensile strength of 1900 MPa grade has good corrosion resistance, the tensile strength ≥ 1900 MPa, does not contain high-cost elements such as Co, and saves Ni, reducing the preparation cost, which is beneficial to industrial production; the preparation method of the present invention is economical, safe and reliable, and is suitable for large-scale production at the same time.

[0019] This medium-entropy alloy can be used to prepare cold-rolled thin plates and cold-drawn wires, with both high strength and corrosion resistance, and can be applied to fields such as national defense and military industry, cross-sea bridges, etc., and has a very broad development prospect and high industrial development potential.
