(3b) Due to the radiation heat dissipation of the TiAl alloy melt, the graphite mold is fully preheated before casting, so that the TiAl alloy melt and the graphite mold are prevented from having excessive temperature difference.
(3c) In TiAl alloy melting and NbB 2 Casting can be performed after the nano particles are fully dispersed; gradually reducing the power to 0kW while casting in the casting process; and (5) taking out the TiAl alloy after the casting is completed and the TiAl alloy is cooled to room temperature.
In this example, 0.5wt.% titanium-coated NbB was added by vacuum induction melting 2 Nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloys consisting of gamma-TiAl, alpha 2 -Ti 3 Al and NbB 2 Three phase composition (fig. 10); the microstructure is composed of gamma-TiAl and alpha 2 -Ti 3 Lamellar structure formed of Al and composition of gamma-TiAl at grain boundary (FIG. 11), but compared with NbB coated with no titanium 2 The gamma-TiAl at the grain boundary of the nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloy is obviously reduced, and compared with the comparative example, the lamellar structure is further refined; yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and strain at break at 700℃were 339.3MPa, 448.0MPa and 7.53%, respectively (Table 1 and FIG. 12), as compared to NbB coated without titanium 2 Nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloys increased by 20.7%, 16.5% and 11.9%, respectively.
Comparative example 1
The comparative example is a vacuum induction melting method for preparing non-titanium-added coated NbB 2 Nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloys (consisting of 50at.% Ti and 50at.% Al) are specified as follows:
(1) Coating NbB without adding titanium 2 Melting of nanoparticle-reinforced TiAl alloys:
(1a) Placing the TiAl alloy into a water-cooled copper crucible in a vacuum induction melting furnace, avoiding the TiAl alloy raw material from contacting with the wall of the water-cooled copper crucible (except the bottom), and ensuring that the height of the TiAl alloy is not more than 5 cm.
(1b) In order to avoid alloy oxidation and ensure experimental safety, the melting chamber of the vacuum induction melting furnace needs to be vacuumized to 10Pa before melting is started, and then argon is filled, so that the pressure of the melting chamber is kept at 45000Pa.
(1c) The heating power was gradually increased by 5kW each time and held for 5 minutes until the TiAl alloy melted.
(2) Coating NbB without adding titanium 2 Casting of nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloys:
(2a) The graphite mould used for casting is placed in a smelting chamber of a vacuum induction smelting furnace before smelting, and is placed at a position which is 10 cm lower than the water-cooled copper crucible and 3 cm away from the water-cooled copper crucible so as to ensure that casting can be smoothly carried out.
(2b) Due to the radiation heat dissipation of the TiAl alloy melt, the graphite mold is fully preheated before casting, so that the TiAl alloy melt and the graphite mold are prevented from having excessive temperature difference.
(2c) Casting is carried out after the TiAl alloy is melted; gradually reducing the power to 0kW while casting in the casting process; and (5) taking out the TiAl alloy after the casting is completed and the TiAl alloy is cooled to room temperature.
In this comparative example, vacuum induction melting was used to prepare non-titanium-added coated NbB 2 Nanoparticle reinforced TiAl alloys consisting of gamma-TiAl and alpha 2 -Ti 3 Al two-phase composition (fig. 1); the microstructure is composed of gamma-TiAl and alpha 2 -Ti 3 Lamellar structure formed of Al and γ -TiAl composition at grain boundaries (fig. 2); the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and strain at break at 700 ℃ were 281.1MPa, 384.7MPa and 6.73%, respectively (table 1 and fig. 3).
