Effect of Microstructure on the Creep Properties in High-Temperature Titanium Alloy after Different Forging Temperatures
摘要
Two different microstructures, lamellar primary αp grains in a matrix of β transformed microstructure and full fine lamellar structure, were produced by forging process in α + β phases at 1000 °C and in β phase at 1050 °C followed by 1000 °C/1 h/AC solid solution and 700 °C/5 h/AC aging heat treatment process in near α-titanium alloys. The ultimate strength at room temperature (RT) is almost the same for both microstructure specimens. The creep properties of lamellar primary αp grains surrounded by β-transformed microstructure are better than that of full fine lamellar structure, indicating the plastic creep strains were 0.108% and 0.113%, respectively, under creep test of 650 °C/100 MPa /100 h. The higher creep resistance of the lamellar primary αp structure in alloy forged in α + β phase has less precipitated silicide than that in alloy forged in β phase; more content of solid solution of Si and α2 precipitation is beneficial for the improvement of creep resistance.
