Effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of laser powder bed fusion Ti–6Al–4V alloys

  • 摘要: 钛合金因其低密度、高比强度、高耐蚀性被广泛应用于航空航天等领域,为研究热处理工艺对激光粉末床熔融Ti–6Al–4V合金力学与腐蚀性能的作用机制,制备打印态、650 ℃/4 h去应力热处理及800 ℃/2 h退火热处理三组试样,结合显微组织表征、X射线衍射分析、拉伸试验与电化学测试展开系统研究。打印态试样因快速冷却形成大量α′马氏体组织,表现出较高的抗拉强度(1260 MPa)和较低的延伸率(13.06%),钝化电流密度为1.03×10‒6 A·cm‒2。经650 ℃热处理后,α′马氏体发生部分分解,初步形成α+β双相组织,抗拉强度降至1141 MPa,延伸率小幅提升至13.51%,同时钝化电流密度增至1.49×10‒6 A·cm‒2,耐蚀性降低。经800 ℃热处理后,α′马氏体进一步分解并形成α/β双相组织,抗拉强度降至990 MPa,延伸率提高至17.51%,钝化电流密度降至1.26×10‒6 A·cm‒2,较650 ℃热处理试样的耐蚀性有所改善。结果表明,退火热处理可通过调控α′马氏体分解及α/β相转变,实现激光粉末床熔融Ti–6Al–4V合金强度、塑性与耐蚀性能的综合调控。

     

    Abstract: Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace and related fields owing to their low density, high specific strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. To elucidate the effects of heat-treatment-induced microstructural evolution on the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Ti–6Al–4V alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), three groups of specimens were prepared: as-built specimens, specimens subjected to stress-relief heat treatment at 650 ℃ for 4 h, and specimens subjected to annealing heat treatment at 800 ℃ for 2 h. Their microstructures, phase constituents, tensile properties, and electrochemical behavior were systematically investigated by microstructural characterization, X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile testing, and electrochemical measurements. Owing to the rapid cooling inherent to the L-PBF process, the as-built specimens exhibited a predominantly α'-martensitic microstructure, resulting in a high ultimate tensile strength of 1260 MPa and a relatively low elongation of 13.06%, with a passive current density of 1.03×10‒6 A·cm‒2. After heat treatment at 650 ℃, the α′ martensitic partially decomposed, leading to the initial formation of an α+β dual-phase microstructure. The ultimate tensile strength decreased to 1141 MPa, while the elongation slightly increased to 13.51%. Meanwhile, the passive current density increased to 1.49×10‒6 A·cm‒2, indicating reduced corrosion resistance. Following heat treatment at 800 ℃, the α′ martensitic underwent further decomposition, accompanied by the formation of and α/β dual-phase microstructure. Consequently, the ultimate tensile strength decreased to 990 MPa, whereas the elongation increased to 17.51%. The passive current density decreased to 1.26×10‒6 A·cm‒2, indicating improved corrosion resistance compared with that of the specimens heat- treated at 650 ℃. These results demonstrate that annealing heat treatment enables comprehensive regulation of the strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance of L-PBF Ti–6Al–4V alloy by controlling α′-martensitic decomposition and the α/β phase transformation.
