Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-strength titanium alloy preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a Si element-modified high-strength titanium-based amorphous composite material. Technical Background
[0002] Compared with crystalline alloys, titanium-based amorphous alloys have unique long-range disorder and short-range ordered atomic arrangement characteristics, and there are no defects such as grains, grain boundaries, and dislocations inside the structure. Therefore, they exhibit more excellent mechanical, physical and chemical properties, such as high strength (even up to 5GPa), high hardness, high specific strength, superelasticity (2%) and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. Therefore, they have potential application prospects in structural parts in the fields of aviation, aerospace, etc.
[0003] However, due to the small critical size, room temperature brittleness and strain softening of titanium-based amorphous alloys, their application in the engineering field is greatly limited. In order to solve this problem, researchers have introduced crystal phases for exogenous composite or in-situ self-generation to obtain amorphous composite materials, which can effectively inhibit the single extension of shear bands and promote the initiation of multiple shear bands, thereby improving their plasticity and toughness. Among them, endogenous dendrite-toughened amorphous composite materials have always attracted the attention of domestic and foreign researchers due to their simple preparation and synthesis process, low cost and high stability.
[0004] Since strength and plasticity are a pair of contradictory performance indicators, the challenge faced by amorphous composite materials is to obtain better comprehensive performance by optimizing the strength and plasticity of the glass matrix, crystal phase, and interface precipitation phase. At present, some endogenous dendrite-toughened titanium-based amorphous composite material systems have been developed, such as Ti-Zr-V-Cu-Be, Ti-Zr-Ni-Be-Ta, and Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn-Nb. They all have high yield strength, but their plasticity has not shown a significant breakthrough. Considering that the machinability of amorphous composite materials plays an important role in broadening the application field and development needs of such alloys, the development of a high-strength and high-plasticity titanium-based amorphous composite material has become a key issue that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for modifying high-strength titanium-based amorphous composite materials with Si. This method achieves uniform microstructure, high strength, and good plasticity by introducing an appropriate amount of Si and controlling the process parameters, thereby resolving the problem of unsatisfactory room-temperature plasticity in prior art amorphous composite materials.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] A method for modifying a high-strength titanium-based amorphous composite material with Si element comprises the following steps:
[0008] Step 1, raw material selection: according to the target product (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3 (at.%) amorphous composite material components, Ti particles, Zr particles, Nb plates, Cu rods, Be particles and Si particles are selected according to atomic percentage;
[0009] Step 2: Surface treatment of raw materials: After polishing the Ti particles, Nb plates, Be particles, and Cu rods, the Cu rods are cleaned again with dilute hydrochloric acid, and all raw materials are cleaned and set aside;
[0010] Step 3, batching: putting the Ti particles, Nb plates, Zr particles and Si particles processed in step 2 into a vacuum arc melting furnace;
[0011] Step 4, melting the initial alloy ingot: evacuate the vacuum consumable arc melting furnace and introduce high-purity argon gas to protect the alloy ingot;
[0012] During the first smelting, slowly increase the smelting current to gradually wrap the particles below; then turn the alloy ingot over, increase the current, and repeat the smelting three times;
[0013] Step 5, smelting of target alloy ingot: put the initial alloy ingot obtained in step 4, Cu rod and Be particles into a crucible, slowly increase the smelting current; repeat the smelting three times to obtain (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3 alloy ingots;
[0014] Step 6, spray casting: the (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3 The alloy material obtained after cutting, grinding and cleaning the alloy ingot is placed in a quartz glass tube with a small hole at the bottom;
[0015] The spray casting furnace chamber is evacuated and then filled with high-purity argon gas, and the alloy material in the quartz glass tube is heated by energizing the induction coil of the spray casting furnace; (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3 The amorphous composite material is rod-shaped.
[0016] In step 1, high-purity particles and bulk materials (≥99%) are selected as raw materials.
[0017] In step 2, all the raw materials are ultrasonically cleaned in alcohol for 20 minutes to prevent the introduction of other impurities.
[0018] In step 3, the atomic percentage of each element is converted into mass percentage, and the mass of each element is calculated according to the mass of the final alloy ingot.
[0019] In step 3, the smaller Si particles are placed at the bottom of the crucible, the Ti and Zr particles are placed in the middle, and the high-melting-point Nb plate is placed on the top. This allows the high-melting-point material to melt first, enveloping the lower-melting-point particles and preventing melt splashing that could cause the composition to deviate from the theoretical value.
[0020] In step 4, the vacuum consumable arc melting furnace is evacuated to 2×10 -3 Pa;
[0021] Slowly increase the melting current to about 280-350A for 1 minute, gradually enveloping the lower particles. Then, flip the alloy ingot over, increase the current to 350-450A, and melt for 1-2 minutes. Repeat this process three times. The purpose of this step is to obtain a high-melting-point alloy ingot with uniform composition.
[0022] In step 5, the Cu rod and Be particles are placed at the bottom and the initial alloy ingot is placed at the top to prevent volatilization and splashing of the low-melting-point material. The smelting current is slowly increased to 350-400 A. The smelting is repeated three times, each smelting for 1-2 minutes.
[0023] In step 6, the obtained alloy material is placed in a quartz glass tube with a 1.2-1.5 mm hole at the bottom; the spray casting furnace chamber is evacuated to 2×10 -3 Pa, and then filled with high-purity argon to -0.04 ~ -0.05MPa, the alloy material in the quartz glass tube is heated by energizing the induction coil of the spray casting furnace; when the heating power is 15 ~ 18kW, the melt is quickly flowed into the water-cooled copper mold through a 1.2 ~ 1.5mm small hole under the pressure of high-purity argon to obtain (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3The amorphous composite material is rod-shaped.
[0024] The (Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 ) 99.9~99.7 Si 0.1~0.3 The yield strength of amorphous composite materials is greater than 1400Mpa, and the maximum plastic strain at fracture can reach 63%; many parallel small-spacing and staggered large-spacing shear slip steps are generated at the fracture surface. At the same time, shear slip steps of different directions and scales change the direction of crack propagation.
[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0026] In the present invention, the high strength Ti 48 Zr 20 Nb 12 Cu5Be 15 The modified amorphous composite material resulted in a refined original microstructure of the (Ti-Zr-Nb-Cu-Be)-Si amorphous composite material. However, the introduction of Si did not change the types of dendritic and amorphous phases. The yield strength of the composite material was >1400 MPa, and the plastic strain at fracture could reach 63%.
[0027] Many parallel small-spacing and staggered large-spacing shear-slip steps are generated at the fracture surface, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown by the red arrows, shear slip steps of varying orientations and scales alter the direction of crack propagation. In other words, the excellent mechanical properties of titanium-based amorphous composites primarily stem from the interaction between shear bands and dendrites. Under compressive load, the relatively soft dendrite phase deforms by dislocation slip, absorbing most of the elastic energy. This transfers the concentrated stress at the amorphous matrix / dendrite interface from the dendrite phase to the glass matrix, causing some shear bands to initiate and propagate within the amorphous matrix. When shear bands encounter and interact with dendrites, their propagation is hindered by the dendrites. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the (Ti-Zr-Nb-Cu-Be)-Si amorphous composite are the result of the combined effects of shear bands within the glass matrix and dislocations within the dendrite phase, resulting in superior plastic deformation capacity.
