表面超声滚压对电子束选区熔化TC4合金微观组织及腐蚀行为的影响

Effects of ultrasonic surface rolling process on microstructure and corrosion behavior of TC4 alloys manufactured by selective electron beam melting

  • 摘要: 通过电子束选区熔化制备了TC4合金,并进行了表面超声滚压处理。利用光学显微镜、X射线衍射、电子背散射衍射等研究了表面超声滚压对合金表面和微观结构的影响,并通过电化学测试分析了其腐蚀行为。结果表明,表面超声滚压在电子束选区熔化TC4合金的表面引发了剧烈塑性变形,促使晶粒细化,形成梯度变形层(约30 μm厚),显著提高了表面光洁度和相对密度。在质量分数3.5%的NaCl溶液中,表面超声滚压处理样品的腐蚀电位(−0.092 VSCE)显著高于砂纸研磨样品(−0.216 VSCE),且其腐蚀电流密度降低约43.5%。此外,表面超声滚压处理后的电子束选区熔化TC4合金表面钝化膜呈现双层结构,外层为TiO2,内层为TiO2和Ti2O3。表面超声滚压改善了金属的表面光洁度和致密化程度,在变形层中引入高密度位错,实现晶粒细化,并促进了致密钝化膜的形成,从而显著提高了电子束选区熔化TC4合金的耐腐蚀性能。

     

    Abstract: TC4 alloys were manufactured by selective electron beam melting (SEBM) and subjected to ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) in this study. The effects of USRP on the surface and microstructure of the alloys were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The corrosion behavior was analyzed with electrochemical testing methods. The results indicate that USRP causes the severe plastic deformation on the surface of SEBM-TC4 alloys, leading to the grain refinement, facilitating the formation of a gradient deformation layer (about 30 μm thick), and ultimately enhancing the surface finish and densification. In 3.5% mass fraction NaCl solution, the corrosion potential of the USRP-treated samples (−0.092 VSCE) is significantly higher than that of the sandpaper-ground samples (−0.216 VSCE), and the corrosion current density decreases by approximately 43.5%. Moreover, the passivation films on USRP-treated SEBM-TC4 exhibit a double-layer structure, with TiO2 in the outer layer and (TiO2+Ti2O3) in the inner layer. In summary, USRP improves the surface finish and densification of the metal, introduces the high-density dislocations in deformation layer to refine grains, and promotes the formation of a dense passivation film, notably improving the corrosion resistance of SEBM-TC4 alloys.
