Abstract:
A novel metastable (3 titanium alloy Ti-4Mo-3V-4Cr-0.5Fe-3.5Al-0.3 O was conducted heat treatment, achieving a remarkable balance of mechanical properties. The heat treatment condition labeled HT6 yields an optimal combination of strength (1508 MPa) and ductility (8.7 % elongation). Microstructural analyses reveal that the size and distribution of both alpha p phases and alpha s phases in HT6 are most conducive to enhancing the comprehensive mechanical properties. Microstructural characterization highlights the retention of a appropriate alpha p phase distribution (26/100 mu m2, 0.78 mu m size) after a low-temperature, long-duration solution treatment, coupled with the subsequent generation of alpha s precipitates featuring advantageous morphologies (1.1 aspect ratio, 0.185 mu m spacing) through a low-temperature, long-duration aging treatment. Fractographic assessments of HT6 illustrate a homogeneous distribution of ductile dimples across fiber zones, devoid of cleavage facets, indicative of its ductile response, whereas lateral fractures display cleavage features, testament to the alloy's strength-ductility balance. Grain structure analysis underscores a well-balanced crystallographic orientation diversity and strategic positioning of large-angle grain boundaries, collectively impeding dislocation disorder and promoting orderly glide mechanisms, thereby unifying high strength with substantial ductility. In HT6, the alpha p phase contains a large number of dislocations that do not form tangles, with a moderate grain orientation that helps balance dislocation slip and hindrance, allowing dislocations to effectively slip during plastic deformation without causing a decrease in ductility. The high density of dislocations in the (3 matrix indicates significant plastic deformation; however, due to the moderate grain orientation, dislocations can effectively reorganize or be stored, avoiding a reduction in ductility. The alpha s phase exists in a triangular interlocking form with complex orientations, effectively impeding dislocation slip, which further increases the alloy's strength. These synergistic microstructural features and mechanical behaviors contribute to the unique and superior strength-ductility synergy of the HT6 alloy. This study dissects the microstructural mechanisms governing the synergistic enhancement of strength and ductility in Ti-4Mo-3V-4Cr-0.5Fe-3.5Al-0.3 O, emphasizing the pivotal influence of heat treatment controling on alloy microarchitecture and properties, furnishes a foundational understanding and pragmatic roadmap for the advancement of titanium alloys.
