Effect of Y Content on Precipitation Behavior, Oxidation and Mechanical Properties of As-Cast High-Temperature Titanium Alloys
MATERIALS(2023)
Abstract
To improve the heat resistance of titanium alloys, the effects of Y content on the precipitation behavior, oxidation resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties of as-cast Ti-5Al-2.75Sn-3Zr-1.5Mo-0.45Si-1W-2Nb-xY (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4) alloys were systematically investigated. The microstructures, phase evolution and oxidation scales were characterized by XRD, Laser Raman, XPS, SEM and TEM. The properties were studied by cyclic oxidation as well as room- and high-temperature tensile testing. The results show that the microstructures of the alloys are of the widmanstatten structure with typical basket weave features, and the prior b grain size and a lamellar spacing are refined with the increase of Y content. The precipitates in the alloys mainly include Y2O3 and (TiZr)(6)Si-3 silicide phases. The Y2O3 phase has specific orientation relationships with the ff-Ti phase: (002) Y2O3 // ((1) over bar(1) over bar 20)(alpha-Ti), [110] Y2O3 // [(4) over bar 401](beta-Ti),. (TiZr)(6)Si-3 has an orientation relationship with the beta-Ti phase: (02 (2) over bar(1) over bar)((TiZr)6Si3) // (011)(beta-Ti), [(1) over bar2 (1) over bar6]((TiZr)6Si3) // [04 (4) over bar](beta-Ti). The 0.1 wt.% Y composition alloy has the best high-temperature oxidation resistance at different temperatures. The oxidation behaviors of the alloys follow the linear-parabolic law, and the oxidation products of the alloys are composed of rutile-TiO2, anatase-TiO2, Y2O3 and Al2O3. The room-temperature and 700 degrees C UTS of the alloys decreases first and then increases with the increase of Y content; the 0.1 wt.% Y composition alloy has the best room-temperature mechanical properties with a UTS of 1012 MPa and elongation of 1.0%. The 700 degrees C UTS and elongation of the alloy with 0.1 wt.% Y is 694 MPa and 9.8%, showing an optimal comprehensive performance. The UTS and elongation of the alloys at 750 degrees C increase first and then decrease with the increase of Y content. The optimal UTS and elongation of the alloy is 556 MPa and 10.1% obtained in 0.2 wt.% Y composition alloy. The cleavage and dimples fractures are the primary fracture mode for the room- and high-temperature tensile fracture, respectively.
