Microstructure And Microtexture

TC4 titanium alloys have been extensively used in the aerospace engineering due to the high specific strength, high temperature resistance and good corrosion resistance. However, unsuitable forging methods will cause unqualified mechanical properties in the height direction of forgings. The microstructure and microtexture of the forgings after two forging processes with different upsetting and drawing times were investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results showed that bimodal microstructure and weak basal {0002} texture can be obtained after forging. With the increase of upsetting and drawing times, lamellar α were curved and coarsen, basal {0002} texture were enhanced, and the special 60°<11-20> preferred orientation between lamellar α phase due to Burgers relationship was avoided. The modification of microtexture and grain boundary distributions can improve the strength of TC4 titanium alloy forging in the height direction.

Titanium and its alloys have seen increased utilization in military and aerospace applications due to combination of high specific strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, elevated-temperature performance and compatibility with polymer composite materials. Titanium alloys are difficult to machine due to their inherent low thermal conductivity and higher chemical reactivity with other materials at elevated temperatures. In general, temperature related machining difficulties are encountered at production speeds in the range of 60 m/min and high-speed machining of these alloys has created considerable interest to researchers, tool manufacturers and end users. This paper provides recent results obtained during turning operation with the aim of improving machinability of titanium alloys. Several tests have been conducted using (i) micro-edge prep geometry of the inserts, (ii) ultra-hard PVD coated, and (iii) nano-layered coated inserts and the effects of speeds and feeds during turning of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy are discussed. The initial tests have been conducted under orthogonal (2-D) cutting conditions with no coolant application. Based on these results, several oblique cutting (3-D) tests have been designed and conducted to study the effect of various types of ultra-hard and nano-layered coatings at higher cutting speeds under flooded coolant conditions. The effects of speed and feed on cutting force and tool wear are presented in this paper.

The effects of primary α phase volume fraction on the tensile properties at 400℃ of TC4 titanium alloy was studied by different solution temperature(Tβ-(10~80)℃). The effects of the thick of secondary α phase on the tensile properties at 400℃ of TC4 titanium alloy was studied by different cooling speed after solution treatment (water quench, air cooling, furnace cooling). The results show that with the decrease of primary α phase, the tensile and yield strength increase up, but the ductility has a little change. The thick of secondary α phase increases with the deceases of cooling speed after solution treatment, highest tensile and yield strength by water quench, the tensile strength of air cooling and furnace cooling were basically the same, but the yield strength of furnace cooling was 40MPa lower than air cooling. Therefore, the influence of the primary α phase volume fraction on the tensile strength at 400℃ was particularly obvious, we can control solution treatment and cooling way in combination with different requirements.

Titanium alloy is an important metal material with excellent specific strength, which is widely used in aerospace field, nuclear industry, chemical medicine, and military industry. In order to investigate the connection conditions of TC4 titanium alloy and 316L stainless steel at different temperatures, the braze welding measurement with Ti57Zr13Cu21Ni9 filler metal was conducted in vacuum. The microstructure, morphology and phase of the joint were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer) and XRD (X-ray diffraction), respectively. Microhardness and shear strength of the joint at room temperature and the bonding mechanism of TC4 and 316L were also investigated. The obtained results revealed that the main phases in the diffusion layer were Ti-based solid solution and Ti-Fe (TiFe and TiFe2) intermetallic compoundsands (IMCs) the center of the braze was mainly composed of Ti-Fe IMCs, (Ti, Zr)2(Ni, Cu), Ti-based solid solution. Additionally, the increase of brazing temperature firstly increased and then decreased the average shear strength with the maximum value of 133.9 MPa at 960 °C.

Interstitial Elements

Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy is widely used in aerospace applications due to its high specific strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion and good corrosion resistance. Presence of interstitial elements in the alloy has some significant effects on its properties. However the high notch toughness and cryogenic ductility attracts the usage of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn for usage at cryogenic temperatures even at 20K. For hydrogen embrittlement studies and for investigating notch sensitivity of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy, the notched and smooth specimens from ELI grade of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy were subjected to LH2exposure and tensile test at 20K (-253°C) and at 77K (-196°C). The tensile properties obtained from different specimens were compared and analyzed. Also the notch to smooth tensile strength ratio (NSR) were compared and analysed. The obtained NSR was above unity which confirms the low notch brittleness. The tensile strength values between LH2exposed and unexposed specimen at 20K and 77K were compared and it revealed greater compatibility of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn-ELI with liquid hydrogen environment.

Titanium alloy is an important class of aerospace material due to its high specific strength, excellent anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation. In this paper, a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupled simulation was carried out to predict the formation characteristics of TC4 titanium alloy self-locking nut during the upset forging process. The stability of the upset forging was analyzed, and the influences of initial temperature and deformation velocity on the formation quality were investigated. The results show that if length-diameter ratio of the sample less than 3.27, the upset forging formation tends to be stable, and here, the length-diameter ratio of 2.89 was selected. Additionally, the forming quality of TC4 self-locking nut improves with the increase of initial temperature and decreases with the increase of the velocity of the upper die. The analysis results can provide a theoretical guidance for the upset forging formation of TC4 titanium alloy nuts.

5083 series aluminum magnesium is widely used for marine industrial. It is caused aluminum has high specific strength and good corrosion resistance. However, at process of welding many of porosity occured in the aluminum and it decrease the mechanical properties especially in HAZ (Heat Affected Zone). At casting process of aluminum, porosity could reduce by giving vibration. So, this method is tried to be applicated for welding of aluminum due to welding is a miniature of casting. Tensile test, hardness test, metallography test, and image analysis are technique to characterize the effect. As a result, vibration is not really affected the amount of porosity that occurred. But for hardness it is influenced especially for ER 4043 filler where the vibrated specimens have a higher hardness. The higher average result of tensile test for ER 5356 filler obtained at unvibrated specimens with the value is 231 MPa and for ER 4043 filler the higher average result obtained at vibrated specimen, the value is 226 MPa.
