Aggregation and growth of the powder easily occur during smelting, in order to avoid the generation of coarse Y2O3Reinforcing phase, the invention selects nanometer Y2O3Powders are more suitable as starting materials.
Because the melting points of aluminum and tin are low, burning loss in the smelting process is serious, and 2 wt.% of aluminum and 5 wt.% of tin are additionally added in the ingredients.
In the invention, the C powder is a main source of TiC, the addition amount of the C powder is larger, the density is smaller, and if the C powder is directly added into a melt, the C powder is easy to float upwards and is not beneficial to the generation of TiC. In addition, B is4The direct addition of the powder C to the melt can cause an increase in melt viscosity, which is detrimental to melting. Therefore, it will be wrapped with aluminum foil (thickness 0.006 mm).
The cast structure of the titanium-based composite material obtained by the invention is basket structure, and TiB, TiC and Y are obtained2O3The reinforcing phase and the matrix are well combined, the combined interface is smooth, and the silicide is characterized in that: silicide distributed on alpha/beta interface and TiB, TiC, Y2O3The reinforcing phase is in the shape of an ellipsoid or a rod around the reinforcing phase, and the size of the reinforcing phase is 50-300 nm.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) by using Ti-B4C-C reaction system, in-situ self-generation to obtain TiB and TiC reinforcing phase, Y2O3The heat preservation time is short by adding the materials in the second feeding, and the agglomeration and the growth of the nano powder are effectively prevented. Ti-TiB2Compared with a-C reaction system, the system has the advantages of low raw material cost and easy regulation and control of the proportion of the reinforcing phase.
(2) TiB, TiC and Y2O3The reinforced phase can obviously block the movement of dislocation, form a high-density dislocation area and promote the nucleation and the precipitation of silicide. Silicides in TiB, TiC and Y2O3The intensive precipitation of silicide on the alpha/beta interface is weakened by the massive precipitation around the enhanced phase. The uniform distribution of silicide is realized through the homogenization of the reinforcing phase, so that the creep resistance of the alloy is further improved.
(3) TiB, TiC and Y2O3The growth of silicide around the reinforcing phase is limited, the diffusion of atoms can only be carried out from one side, and the silicide is mainly fine needle-shaped silicide (the long axis dimension is 30-80 nm). Compared with the coarse ellipsoidal silicide (with the major axis size of 150-200 nm) on the alpha/beta interface, the fine silicide resists the dislocation slip climbThe effect is stronger, and the creep resistance of the material is more favorably improved.
The method is used for preparing the multielement reinforced high-temperature titanium-based composite material.
