热处理对石墨烯增强Ti-6Al-4V合金显微组织和硬度的影响

    Effects of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Hardness of Graphene Reinforced Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

    • 摘要: 采用石墨烯为增强相,通过放电等离子烧结技术制备了石墨烯增强Ti-6Al-4V合金,研究了不同退火处理、不同温度固溶+时效和固溶+不同温度时效对该合金显微组织和硬度的影响。结果表明:石墨烯增强Ti-6Al-4V合金经750℃保温1 h空冷至室温的退火处理,有少量分散的第二相粒子,β相分解出少量α'相,相比烧结态,合金硬度下降2.95%。经过930℃保温1 h,空冷至550℃保温4 h的双重退火,合金可得到更加均匀的α+α'双态组织,有少量的由α'相分解的α+β组织及零星分散的第二相粒子,其硬度相比烧结态略有增加。不同温度固溶时效过程中,主要发生α相等轴组织向α+α'双态组织转变,以及部分α'相分解为α+β相,弥散分布在β相边界,起沉淀硬化作用。随固溶温度升高,更多的α′相发生分解。当固溶温度为930℃时,合金硬度达到最大,达到542.6 HV,相比烧结态提高约6.32%。当合金在930℃固溶,不同温度下时效时,随时效温度增大,合金硬度先增大后减小。当时效温度从500℃增加到550℃时,α'相分解生成弥散的α+β组织,产生沉淀硬化效果,合金硬度提高约1.19%。当时效温度由550℃升高到650℃时,α'相分解的驱动力增大,α'相合并长大为板状或片状,β相合并长大,分布不均,削弱了α+β混合组织的弥散沉淀硬化效果,合金硬度明显降低。

       

      Abstract: Graphene reinforced Ti-6Al-4V alloy was prepared by spark plasma sintering technique with graphene as reinforcing phase. The effects of different annealing, solution and aging temperature on the microstructure and hardness of the alloy were studied. The results show that Ti-6Al-4V alloy reinforced by graphene after holding at 750 ℃ for 1 h, air cooling to room temperature, a small number of dispersed second phase particles are observed, and a small number of α’ phase is separated from β phase. The hardness of the alloy decreases by 2.95%. After holding at 930 ℃ for 1 h, air-cooled to 550 ℃for 4 h, and then air-cooled to room temperature, the alloy can obtain more uniform α +α’ double state microstructure, and there are a few α’ phase decomposed α+β phase and scattered second phase particles with slightly increased hardness. During solution at different temperatures and aging process, the transformation from equiaxed α phase to duplex α+α’ microstructure mainly occurs and part of the α’ phase decomposes into α+β phases, which are dispersed at the boundaries of the β phase, contributing to precipitation hardening. As the solution temperature increases, more α’ phase decomposes. When the solution temperature is 930 ℃, the maximum hardness of the alloy is 542.6 HV, which increases about 6.32% compared to the sintered state. When the alloy is solution treated at 930 ℃ and aged at different temperatures, the hardness of the alloy increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of aging temperature. When the aging temperature increases from 500 ℃ to 550 ℃, the α’ phase decomposes to dispersive α+β microstructure with precipitation hardening effect, the hardness of the alloy increases by about 1.19%. When the aging temperature increases from 550 ℃ to 650 ℃, the driving force for the decomposition of the α’ phase increases, α’ phase merges up into plate or sheet, β phase merges and grows up, which distributes unevenly, weakening the dispersion precipitation hard effect of the α+β mixed microstructure, and the hardness of the alloy significantly decreases.
