合金元素Y对高铌TiAl高温合金长期抗氧化性的影响

研究不同含Y量对高铌TiAl合金在900℃恒温条件下,1000h的抗氧化性的影响.结果发现,从长期看,氧化速率、氧化膜结构以及氧化膜抗剥落能力均与Y含量有关.在900℃等温氧化条件下,0.4 at%Y含量能有效提高高铌TiAl合金的抗氧化性,而高Y含量对与抗氧化性的负面影响在氧化初始阶段已经十分明显.通过对氧化后样品SEM和EDS分析发现,适量Y元素的加入可以细化氧化物颗粒,促使合金表面形成连续Al2O3保护膜,提高氧化膜与合金基体的粘附性,从而提高高铌TiAl合金的高温长期抗氧化性.     

Effect of adding Nb foil on joint properties of laser fusion welding for TC4 titanium and 7075 aluminum alloy

It is difficult to gain effective Ti-Al fusion welding joints due to their differences in thermal properties and the appearance of brittle Ti-Al Intermetallic Compounds (IMCs). The experiments of laser fusion welding for TC4 titanium and 7075 aluminum alloy were carried out, temperature field and ductility/brittleness, as well as chemical potential of elements, were calculated, and the effect of adding Nb foil on mechanical properties of the weld was also investigated. The results suggested that Nb atoms tend to diffuse toward Al side, which is conducive to the participation of Nb in the metallurgical reaction and contributes to forming the Ti-Nb-Al IMC layer at the interface. As the thickness of Nb foil increases, the tensile-shear force of joint climbs first but then declines, and reaches the highest value of 1663 N with 0.10 mm-thickness Nb foil, representing 58.38% enhancement compared with the non-added one. Adding Nb foil slows down the heat transfer as a blocker, and thus both the melting amount of Al and the mixing area of Ti and Al decrease. In addition, Nb alloying reduces the brittleness of the Ti-Al compound. Hence, the joint properties of titanium/aluminum are improved with the addition of Nb foil.
