Description

Processing technology for improving damage tolerance performance of titanium alloy
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optimizing the comprehensive performance of titanium alloy, and particularly relates to a processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of titanium alloy.
Background
Titanium alloy is an important structural metal material developed in the 50 s of the last century, and has wide application in the aerospace field. With the change of new generation aircraft design concepts, the damage tolerance performance (including fatigue crack growth rate and fracture toughness) of materials gradually becomes an important index for checking whether the materials can meet structural design. In the alloy design process, the damage tolerance level is also kept at a certain level while the strength of the titanium alloy is effectively improved, so that the high-strength damage tolerance type titanium alloy becomes an important development direction of the titanium alloy for the structure.
In recent years, in order to improve the damage tolerance performance of titanium alloys, the β forging process is widely replacing the conventional forging process at a considerably rapid rate. The basket structure obtained by the beta forging process is characterized in that the direction of cracks is continuously changed when the cracks are bundled in different bit directions alpha due to the existence of a large number of staggered lamellar alpha phases, so that crack paths are bent and branched, the total length of the cracks is increased, more energy is consumed for expansion, and the basket structure has higher crack expansion resistance, so that the fracture toughness is high and the fatigue crack expansion rate is low. Therefore, basket tissue is generally the preferred object when considering high strength and high damage tolerance designs. However, the basket structure has the defect of greatly reducing the tensile strength and the plasticity at room temperature, and how the microstructure characteristics of the material are controlled by the high-strength titanium alloy through the beta forging process so as to achieve the performance advantage of the basket structure, avoid the defect of lower plasticity, solve the contradiction between the alloy strength and the plasticity and the toughness, and have important significance.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy aiming at the defects in the prior art. According to the process, through final forging above the phase transition point temperature and water cooling, and combining solid solution and aging treatment, a fine alpha phase microstructure distributed in a basket is formed under the beta grain size, and finer secondary alpha sheet layers are separated out between fine alpha photo layers to form a composite basket structure, so that a titanium alloy forge piece finished product has higher strength, good plasticity and toughness, and simultaneously has lower fatigue crack expansion rate, and the problem that the traditional basket structure greatly reduces room-temperature tensile plasticity is solved.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a processing technology for improving damage tolerance performance of titanium alloy is characterized by comprising the following steps:
step one, cogging and high-temperature forging are carried out on a titanium alloy cast ingot with multiple fires at a temperature above the transformation point, three upsetting and three drawing are carried out in the forging process, and then air cooling is carried out to room temperature, so that a titanium alloy forging intermediate is obtained;
step two, performing final forging with the temperature above the transformation point on the intermediate of the titanium alloy forging obtained in the step one, performing three upsetting and three drawing in the forging process, and then cooling to room temperature to obtain the titanium alloy forging;
thirdly, carrying out solution treatment on the titanium alloy forging piece obtained in the second step, and then cooling to room temperature;
and step four, aging treatment is carried out on the titanium alloy forging finished product subjected to air cooling in the step three, and then air cooling is carried out to room temperature, so that the titanium alloy forging product is obtained.
The processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy is characterized in that the heat preservation temperature of the final forging in the second step is 10-50 ℃ above the phase transition point temperature of the finished titanium alloy forging, and the heat preservation time t= (d multiplied by 0.6+23) min to (d multiplied by 0.6+30) min, wherein d is the cross section diameter of the intermediate of the titanium alloy forging, and the unit is mm.
The processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy is characterized in that the cooling mode after final forging in the second step is water cooling.
The processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy is characterized in that the temperature of the solution treatment in the third step is 760-800 ℃, the heat preservation time is 1-2 h, and the cooling mode is air cooling.
The processing technology for improving the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy is characterized in that the temperature of the aging treatment in the fourth step is 580-620 ℃ and the heat preservation time is 4-8 h.

1. according to the invention, final forging above the phase transition point temperature is selected, and the final forging is cooled to the room temperature by adopting a water cooling mode, and a fine alpha phase microstructure distributed in a basket is formed under the condition of combining with a proper beta grain size obtained by solution treatment, so that the titanium alloy forging finished product is guaranteed to have good plasticity, the fracture toughness of the titanium alloy forging finished product is improved, then a finer secondary alpha sheet layer is separated out between fine alpha photo layers through ageing treatment, a composite basket structure is formed, the titanium alloy forging finished product is guaranteed to have certain strength, and finally the defect that the conventional basket structure greatly reduces room temperature tensile plasticity is obviously overcome, and meanwhile, the strength, plasticity and damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy forging finished product are optimized.
2. According to the invention, the temperature of final forging is limited to be 10-50 ℃ above the phase transition point temperature of the titanium alloy forging finished product, so that the size of beta grains in the titanium alloy forging finished product is strictly controlled, meanwhile, a water cooling process is adopted after final forging, the precipitation and growth of alpha phases in secondary crystals are effectively inhibited, and needle-shaped alpha is precipitated at the beta grain boundary, so that the alpha sheet layer is finer after subsequent solution aging treatment, and the dispersion strengthening effect is stronger.
3. The finished titanium alloy forging processed by the process has higher strength, good plasticity and toughness, and lower fatigue crack propagation rate, breaks through the limitation that the strength, the plasticity and the damage tolerance performance of the titanium alloy are difficult to be well matched, and meets the application requirements of the high-strength damage tolerance titanium alloy.

The technical scheme of the invention is further described in detail through the drawings and the embodiments.
