Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of titanium alloy technology, specifically to a micro-alloyed ZTC4 titanium alloy with enhanced high-temperature mechanical properties and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Titanium and titanium alloys possess advantages such as high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, good high-temperature performance, and low density, making them key materials in modern industry. These advantages allow titanium alloys to be widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and architectural decoration. To cope with different working environments, titanium alloys are further classified into α titanium alloys, β titanium alloys, and α+β titanium alloys. α+β type titanium alloys combine the advantages of both α and β titanium alloys, exhibiting high strength, good plasticity, high heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and low-temperature performance, good pressure processing properties, and significantly improved strength through quenching and aging strengthening.

[0003] ZTC4 alloy is currently one of the most widely used duplex titanium alloys both domestically and internationally. Its primary application is as a lightweight, high-temperature structural material in aerospace engines and other applications requiring high temperature and strength in complex working environments. The intricate and complex structure of these components necessitates casting. However, the high-temperature strength of as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloys is low, and unlike simpler structures such as plates, bars, and wires, its high-temperature strength cannot be improved by controlling the microstructure through deformation heat treatment. Alloying by adding alloying elements is the fundamental method to improve the performance of as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloys. However, current research on strengthening as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloys is very limited. The low success rate of achieving the required strength significantly impacts engine lifespan and greatly restricts the industrial use of as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloys.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the composition and processing of as-cast ZTC4 to improve its high-temperature mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a micro-alloyed ZTC4 titanium alloy with enhanced high-temperature mechanical properties and its preparation method. The as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy exhibits good high-temperature strength-plasticity matching characteristics at 300℃.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A microalloyed, high-temperature mechanically enhanced as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy comprises, by mass percentage: Al: 6-6.7%, V: 3.6-4.5%, Mo: 0.04-0.1%, Zr: 0.04-0.1%, Sn: 0.04-0.10%, Si: 0.1-0.15%, B: 0.04-1.0%, with the balance being Ti.

[0008] Preferably, the as-cast ZTC4 alloy is an α+β dual-phase titanium alloy, with TiB whiskers forming in a basket-like structure.

[0009] Preferably, the tensile strength R of the as-cast ZTC4 alloy is... m >670MPa, yield strength R p0.2 >550MPa, elongation A>10%.

[0010] A method for preparing a microalloyed ZTC4 titanium alloy with enhanced high-temperature mechanical properties includes the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: Mix and melt the elements by mass percentage to obtain the initial ZTC4 titanium alloy ingot.

[0012] Step 2: The initial titanium alloy ingot obtained in Step 1 is subjected to hot isostatic pressing and simultaneous solution treatment, followed by annealing and furnace cooling to below 300°C.

[0013] Step 3: After aging treatment, the titanium alloy ingot obtained in Step 2 is cooled to room temperature to obtain as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy.

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, the initial ZTC4 titanium alloy ingot is subjected to hot isostatic pressing under a gas pressure greater than 120 MPa.

[0015] Preferably, the solution treatment in step 2 is performed at a temperature of 910℃-930℃ for 2-2.5 hours.

[0016] Preferably, the annealing treatment is performed at a temperature of 730°C for 2.5 hours.

[0017] Preferably, the aging process in step 3 involves holding the titanium alloy ingot at 750°C for 2 hours.

[0018] Preferably, in step 1, the elements are smelted using a vacuum induction suspension melting method, and the ingot is repeatedly remelted three times. The smelting power is controlled at 160-180KW to obtain the desired titanium alloy ingot.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] This invention provides a micro-alloying enhancement of the high-temperature mechanical properties of as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy. The high-temperature strength of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy is fundamentally improved through the optimization of its alloy composition design and the precise addition and adjustment of alloying elements. The composition optimization fully utilizes the properties of Al to improve the alloy's thermal strength by increasing its content. Since V is a fast-diffusing element, its strength decreases at high temperatures, therefore its addition amount is reduced. Furthermore, Zr and Sn are neutral elements, and Zr can improve its processing performance and thermal stability. The addition of a small amount of Si allows for solid solution strengthening in the titanium alloy, and the formation of silicides further enhances its high-temperature strength. Adding 0.04%-1.0% boron (B) lowers the melting point at the solid-liquid interface by utilizing the low solubility of B in the TC4 titanium alloy melt, promoting the nucleation process and increasing the nucleation rate. This allows B to dissolve in the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy matrix, fundamentally refining the grain size of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy ingot. While ensuring that the plasticity of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy is not reduced, the high-temperature strength of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy is significantly improved. This completely solves the problem of applying as-cast ZTC4 alloy to complex components. The process is simple and the method is easy to operate.

[0021] This invention provides a method for preparing the aforementioned titanium alloy, employing hot isostatic pressing followed by annealing. The material is encapsulated, pressurized, and held at a temperature in a specially designed enclosure, which significantly reduces shrinkage cavities and porosity in castings, reduces the number of alloy heat treatment steps, and greatly improves operational simplicity. This method significantly improves the high-temperature strength of as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy, exhibiting good matching between high-temperature strength and plasticity. The resulting ZTC4 exhibits a tensile strength R0 at 300℃. m >670MPa, yield strength R p0.2 >550MPa, elongation A>10%. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These descriptions are intended to explain the invention and not to limit it.

[0028] A microalloyed, high-temperature mechanically enhanced as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy comprises, by mass percentage: Al: 6-6.7%, V: 3.6-4.5%, Mo: 0.04-0.1%, Zr: 0.04-0.1%, Sn: 0.04-0.10%, Si: 0.1-0.15%, B: 0.04-1.0%, with the balance being Ti.

[0029] The Ti is pure titanium or sponge titanium, the Zr is pure zirconium or sponge zirconium, the purity of the sponge titanium is 99.5%, the purity of the sponge zirconium is 99.5%, the purity of the aluminum briquettes is 99.5%, the purity of the high-purity silicon is 99.9%, and the purity of the high-purity boron is 99.9%.

[0030] The as-cast ZTC4 alloy is a dual-phase titanium alloy with a typical basketweave structure, and TiB whiskers (such as...) were observed in its metallographic image and scanning electron microscope image. Figure 1 As shown), the darker colored areas are the α phase, and the lighter colored areas are the β phase (as shown). Figure 1 (as shown in c). The tensile strength R of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy at 300℃ m >670MPa, yield strength R p0.2 >550MPa, elongation A>10%.

[0031] This microalloyed, high-temperature mechanically enhanced as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy fully utilizes the property of Al to improve the alloy's hot strength, adding Al at its maximum allowable level. V, being a fast-diffusion element, reduces the alloy's strength at high temperatures, therefore its amount is minimized, at its minimum allowable level. Zr and Sn are neutral elements, with Zr improving its machinability and thermal stability. A small amount of Si is added; Si's solid solution in the titanium alloy provides solid solution strengthening, and the formation of silicides enhances high-temperature strength. Adding 0.04%-1.0% B utilizes its low solubility in the TC4 titanium alloy melt to lower the melting point at the solid-liquid interface, promoting the nucleation process and increasing the nucleation rate. This allows B to dissolve in the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy matrix, fundamentally refining the grain size of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy ingot. This significantly improves the high-temperature strength of the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy without reducing its plasticity.

[0032] A method for preparing a microalloyed ZTC4 titanium alloy with enhanced high-temperature mechanical properties includes the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Mix and melt the elements according to their mass percentages to obtain ZTC4 titanium alloy ingots.

[0034] Specifically, the preparation of alloy raw materials: weigh out grade 0 sponge titanium, aluminum briquettes, Al-V master alloy, Al-Mo, sponge zirconium, Ti-Sn master alloy, high-purity silicon, and high-purity boron powder according to the weight percentage of each element in the alloy as raw materials for alloy smelting.

[0035] The raw materials were symmetrically sampled and melted using a vacuum induction levitation melting method. To ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the alloy composition, the ingot was repeatedly remelted three times. The melting power was controlled at 160-180KW. After all the material was melted, the melt was allowed to suspend for 60-100 seconds, then allowed to cool naturally. After the third remelting, it was poured to obtain the required titanium alloy ingot.

[0036] Step 2 involves simultaneously hot isostatic pressing and solution treatment of the titanium alloy ingot obtained in Step 1, followed by annealing and furnace cooling to below 300°C. The specific process includes the following steps:

[0037] S2.1, the titanium alloy ingot obtained in step 1 is subjected to hot isostatic pressing and solution treatment simultaneously under an argon pressure greater than 120 MPa. The solution treatment temperature is 910℃-930℃ and the time is 2-2.5H. The hot isostatic pressing treatment fully eliminates casting defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity in the ingot.

[0038] S2.2, the titanium alloy ingot after hot isostatic pressing is annealed at 730℃ for 2.5 hours, and then cooled to below 300℃ in the furnace.

[0039] Step 3: After aging treatment, the titanium alloy ingot obtained in Step 2 is cooled to room temperature to obtain as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy.

[0040] The aging process involves holding the titanium alloy ingot at 750℃ for 2 hours and then air-cooling it to room temperature to obtain the as-cast ZTC4 titanium alloy.
