激光粉末床熔融再制造TC4钛合金组织和性能

Microstructure and mechanical properties of TC4 titanium alloy remanufactured by laser powder bed fusion

  • 摘要:
    目的 该文旨在揭示激光粉末床熔融(Laser powder bed fusion, LPBF)再制造TC4组织形成机理及其对性能的影响机制。
    方法 在锻造TC4基体上进行LPBF成形,采用金相显微镜和扫描电子显微镜表征基体和增材区域的组织形貌,并分析室温、高温拉伸性能和断口形貌。
    结果 LPBF增材区形成具有明显定向凝固特征的柱状晶,晶粒内生成大量α′相具有较高的强度但断后伸长率较差,导致合金室温、高温抗拉强度均高于1 000 MPa,但断后伸长率较低,分别为0.5%和2.5%,其拉伸断口无明显的颈缩,展现出典型的脆性断裂特征。LPBF再制造TC4钛合金的锻造基体和增材合金形成良好的冶金结合,室温、高温抗拉强度和断后伸长率介于两者之间,试样变形和断裂失效主要集中在强度较低的锻造基体区域。
    结论 LPBF再制造TC4成形质量良好且无缺陷,界面结合强度高于锻件基体,可实现复杂构件的高精度再制造修复。

     

    Abstract: Objective This paper aims to reveal microstructure formation mechanism of TC4 remanufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and its influence mechanism on performance. Methods LPBF forming was carried out on the forged TC4 matrix. Microstructure morphology of the matrix and deposited zone was characterized by metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope, and tensile properties and fracture morphology at room temperature and high temperature were analyzed. Results LPBF deposited zone formed columnar grains with distinct directional solidification characteristics, and a large number of α′ phases were generated within the grains, which contributed to high strength but poor elongation after fracture. As a result, tensile strengths of the deposited alloy at room temperature and high temperature both exceeded 1 000 MPa, while elongation after fracture were relatively low, at 0.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Tensile fracture showed no obvious necking and exhibited typical brittle fracture characteristics. A good metallurgical bond was formed between the forged matrix and deposited alloy in the remanufactured TC4 titanium alloy. The tensile strength and elongation after fracture at room temperature and high temperature fell between those of the forged matrix and deposited alloy. Deformation and fracture failure of samples primarily occurred in the lower-strength forged matrix zone. Conclusion LPBF remanufactured TC4 has good forming quality and no defects. Interface bonding strength is higher than that of the forged matrix, and it can achieve high-precision remanufacturing and repair of complex components.
