基于分子动力学的Ti-Ta合金纳米颗粒冶金扩散行为分析

Analysis on metallurgical diffusion behavior of Ti-Ta alloy nanoparticles based on molecular dynamics

  • 摘要: 钛钽(Ti–Ta)合金具有高强度、耐高温、耐腐蚀性及优异的生物相容性,在航空航天和生物医学等领域展现出巨大的应用潜力。然而,由于Ti和Ta的熔点与密度差异显著,制备过程中易出现成分偏析问题,从而限制了Ti–Ta合金的进一步应用。为探究上述问题的形成原因,本研究采用分子动力学(MD)模拟方法,研究了纳米颗粒尺寸、形状、温度及压力对扩散行为的影响。结果表明,Ti原子在扩散过程中起主导作用。在1500 °C、0 MPa条件下,直径为4 nm的球形颗粒收缩率达61%,而立方体颗粒的收缩率为23%。在相同的温压条件下,当纳米颗粒尺寸从4 nm增大至8 nm时,收缩率从61%下降至50%。在0 MPa下,温度从1000 °C升高至3000 °C时,4 nm球形颗粒的收缩率从10%提升至95%。在1500 °C条件下,当压力从0 MPa增加至200 MPa时,相对密度从41%提升至89%。结果表明,温度是影响扩散行为的主要因素。此外,随着温度和压力的升高,扩散系数也随之增大,扩散程度增强。本研究可为高均质Ti–Ta合金的制备工艺提供理论参考。

     

    Abstract: Titanium–tantalum (Ti–Ta) alloys are characterized by high strength, excellent high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and outstanding biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for aerospace and biomedical applications. However, composition segregation occurs during preparation due to the significant differences in melting points and densities between Ti and Ta, which limits their further application. To investigate the origin of this issue, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to examine the effects of nanoparticle size, shape, temperature, and pressure on diffusion behavior. The results showed that Ti atoms were the dominant diffusing species. At 1500?°C and 0?MPa, spherical particles with a diameter of 4?nm exhibited a shrinkage rate of 61%, whereas cubic particles showed a rate of only 23%. Under the same temperature and pressure conditions, increasing the particle size from 4?nm to 8?nm reduced the shrinkage rate from 61% to 50%. At 0?MPa, raising the temperature from 1000?°C to 3000?°C increased the shrinkage rate of 4?nm spherical particles from 10% to 95%. At 1500?°C, increasing the pressure from 0?MPa to 200?MPa enhanced the relative density from 41% to 89%. These findings indicate that temperature is the predominant factor influencing diffusion behavior. Furthermore, both the diffusion coefficient and the extent of diffusion increased with rising temperature and pressure. The results of this study provide a theoretical reference for the preparation of highly homogeneous Ti–Ta alloys.
