Description

High entropy high strength (TiHfX)50(NiCu)50Shape memory alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy materials and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a high-entropy high-strength (TiHfX)50(NiCu)50Shape memory alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The high-entropy alloy breaks through the traditional alloy design method by a brand-new thought, and provides a more unique and wide visual angle and space for developing novel materials and improving the traditional alloy. The concept of "high entropy" is widely integrated into the research of various novel high-performance materials, and shows great potential in the aspect of improving the mechanical and physicochemical properties of the materials. In 2014, Ukrainian scholars combined "high-entropy alloy" with "shape memory", formally proposed high-entropy shape memory alloy (G.S. Firstov, et al.high-temperature shape memory alloy definitions, Materials Science and Engineering A,2004,378:2-10), provided new application prospects for high-entropy alloy, and provided new research ideas for development of novel memory alloys. In China, Wuyuan et al, Beijing university of science and technology, also reported that the content of the Chinese herbal medicine is high in patent CN105296836B granted in 2017Design and preparation method of entropy memory alloy. However, these early high entropy alloys were defined as alloys having a mixed entropy above 1.5R or alloy constituents that satisfied 5-35 atomic percent. In recent years, research in the field of high-entropy alloys is rapidly developed, the definition of the high-entropy alloys is continuously expanded, and the mixed entropy value and the component range of the high-entropy alloys are not limited to the above range any more, namely the mixed entropy value of the alloys can be lower than 1.5R, and the components of the components can be lower than 5% or higher than 35%, so that the development of more high-entropy alloys with excellent performance is possible. For example, Ti proposed by Wang et al of Beijing university of science and technology50Zr20Hf15Al10Nb5And Ti49Zr20Hf15Al10Nb6High-entropy memory alloys with a mixed entropy of 1.33R and 1.35R, respectively, and a composition of constituent Ti of up to 50% (Lu Wang, et al. Superelastic effect in Ti-rich high-entropy alloy strain-induced texture transformation, script Material, 2019,162: 112-; ti proposed by Chen et al of Taiwan university40Zr10Ni40Co5Cu5The mixed entropy of the high-entropy alloy is 1.28R, and the components of Ti and Ni are both as high as 40% (Chih-Hsean Chen, et al40Zr10Ni40Co5Cu5multi-principal element alloy, script material, 2020,186: 127-; ti proposed by Rajeshwar of national research university of Russian Bilogorod38Zr25Hf25Ta10Sn2And Ti38Zr25Hf25Ta7Sn5The high entropy alloy has a mixed entropy of 1.37R and 1.39R, respectively, 38% of Ti component and only 2% of Sn component (Rajeshwar R, et al. Exceptionllyhigh strain-modifying and reduction product to transformation induced plasticity effect in Ti-rich high-entropy alloys, Scientific Reports,2020,10: 13293).
At present, most of the publicly reported non-high-entropy superelasticity shape memory alloys need processing processes such as rolling, drawing, aging and the like, and the production and processing processes are complex. Reported high entropy memory alloy systems are Ti-Zr-Hf-Co-Ni-Cu, Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Pd, Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Cu-Pd, Ti-Zr-Hf-Al-Cu-Nb, Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta-Sn, etc. Among them, Ti-Zr-Hf-Co-Ni-Cu series high entropy memory was proposed first, the alloy has memory property, and can fully recover 1.63% of prestrain (G.S. Firstov, et al.high entropy shape memory alloys, Materials Today: Proceedings,2015,2: S499-S503); the Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Cu high-entropy alloy has superelasticity in the range of 185-285 ℃, and can completely recover 4% of prestrain at room temperature (Shaohui Li, et al. A high-entropy high-temperature sheath alloy with large and complex superelastic recovery, Materials Research Letters,2021,9: 263-269). Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Pd and Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Cu-Pd are high temperature memory alloys, have a transition temperature of 500 ℃ or higher, do not have memory properties at room temperature, and are very high in cost due to the addition of a noble metal Pd (1℃ Demiran, et al. Ultra-high temperature multiple-component shape memory alloys, script Material 2019, 158: 83-87; 2D. Piorunek, et al. chemical composition, microstructural and structural transformation in high temperature shape memory alloys, Intermetallics,2020,122: 106792). Ti-Zr-Hf-Al-Nb system proposed by Wang of Beijing university of science and technology is beta titanium alloy, the maximum recoverable strain is 5.2%, the complete recoverable strain is 4%, but the strength and the critical stress are only 900MPa and 480 MPa; the Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta-Sn series is also a beta titanium alloy, and the maximum recoverable strain can reach 3.8% (J.J.Gao, et al Synthesis and characterization of a new TiZrHfNbTaSn high-entry alloy ex-situ superior modifier, script Material, 2021,198: 113824).
The memory alloys reported so far have the following problems: (1) the existing high-entropy and non-high-entropy shape memory alloys have complex preparation processes, and most of the high-entropy and non-high-entropy shape memory alloys need plastic processing such as rolling and drawing and heat treatment processes such as homogenization, aging, quenching and the like. For example, Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Cu-Pd needs to be subjected to heat treatment for 100 hours, and Ti-Zr-Hf-Al-Cu-Nb and Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta-Sn series high-entropy alloys are subjected to cold rolling, homogenization, aging, water quenching treatment and the like. (2) The existing high-entropy and non-high-entropy shape memory alloy can not have both high strength and high recoverable strain. For example, the recoverable strain of Ti-Zr-Hf-Co-Ni-Cu is only 1.63%, and the recoverable strain of Ti-Zr-Hf-Ni-Cu system is 4%. The Ti-Zr-Hf-Al-Cu-Nb system beta titanium alloy can recover the strain to 5.2 percent, but has low strength and critical stress. (3) Some of the existing high-entropy and non-high-entropy shape memory alloys contain noble metals, and the cost of the alloys is too high.
In summary, various problems of the existing shape memory alloy still remain to be solved, the preparation process needs to be further simplified, and the performance of the alloy needs to be adjusted by more optimized alloy component combination, so that the application range of the alloy is further expanded.
