- Embodiment 4 A method for manufacturing the titanium materials of Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 3 (hereinafter, referred to also as “Embodiment 4”) will be described hereinafter. Then, the titanium material of the present disclosure is not limited to those produced by the following manufacturing method, and includes those produced by other methods.
- Patent Literature 1 a titanium material is manufactured by subjecting pure titanium, an ⁇ -titanium alloy and an ⁇ + ⁇ -titanium alloy to plastic working of a working strain of 0.5 or more under a pressure of 1.5 GPa or more. It is presumed that since the grain size of the crystal grains constituting the titanium material of Patent Literature 1 is as small as several hundreds of nanometers, the ductility is low. Then, since the titanium material is produced with a working strain being imparted to a raw material, strain gradients are present between the center part and edge parts of the titanium materials and the titanium material is heterogeneous, so the titanium material is inappropriate as an object for measuring mechanical properties such as tensile strength.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a high-pressure cell of an ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator to be used in Embodiment 4.
- a high-pressure cell 10 is equipped with a pressure medium 1 having a regular octahedral shape, a sample container 2 disposed inside pressure medium 1 , and a heating element 3 disposed in the circumference of the sample container.
- Sample container 2 is composed of hexagonal boron nitride.
- Heating element 3 is composed of graphite.
- a raw material 4 is enclosed inside sample container 2 .
- the maximum load of the ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator to be used in Embodiment 4 is, for example, 2,800 tons.
- a conventional titanium alloy or pure titanium containing 98.8% by mass or more of titanium is prepared.
- the titanium in the titanium alloy or pure titanium is an alpha titanium having a crystal structure of an alpha phase.
- the above raw material is put in a sample container made of a polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride, and by using an ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator, pressurized up to 6 to 11 GPa, thereafter heated up to 200 to 600° C. and held for 1 to 5 hours. Thereby, the titanium material of the present disclosure is obtained.
- the titanium material of the present disclosure obtained by the above method has a high strength and a high ductility. The reason therefor is presumably as follows.
- the phase transformation from the alpha titanium to the omega titanium is carried out.
- the rearrangement of atoms needs an energy. Accordingly, the phase transformation from the alpha titanium to the omega titanium is initiated at a pressure and a temperature beyond the dotted line indicated by the ⁇ -> ⁇ hysteresis of FIG. 3 , due to the effect of hysteresis.
- the high-pressure high temperature treatment is carried out under the pressure and temperature condition in the vicinity of the dotted line indicated by the ⁇ -> ⁇ hysteresis of FIG. 3 .
- the overpressure is low, and crystal nuclei of the omega titanium are generated only at limited places such as grain boundary junction points and excess generation of crystal nuclei hardly occurs. Accordingly, it is presumed that the grain diameter of the crystal grains constituting obtained titanium materials easily becomes large and the titanium materials have a high ductility.
- Embodiment 4 for the heating element of the ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator, a graphite having a high thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity: 2,000 W/(m ⁇ K)) is used; and for the sample container, a hexagonal boron nitride having a high thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity: 600 W/(m ⁇ K)) is used.
- thermo conductivity 2,000 W/(m ⁇ K)
- a hexagonal boron nitride having a high thermal conductivity thermal conductivity: 600 W/(m ⁇ K)
- the manufacturing method of Embodiment 4 since the synthesis pressure is 6 to 11 GPa and the maximum load of the manufacturing apparatus is 2,800 tons, there can be produced, for example, cylindrical large-sized titanium materials of 10 mm or more in diameter, 6 mm or more in height and 471 mm 3 or more in volume. Since the titanium materials have a sufficient diameter, test pieces for carrying out a tensile test can be produced therefrom.
- the ⁇ -Ti is treated at 12 GPa and 400° C., which sufficiently exceed the dotted line indicated by the ⁇ -> ⁇ hysteresis of FIG. 3 . Since this pressure and temperature condition is away from the dotted line indicated by the ⁇ -> ⁇ hysteresis of FIG. 3 , and the overpressure is high, many crystal nuclei of the omega titanium are generated. Accordingly, it is presumed that the grain diameter of crystal grains constituting the obtained titanium materials is small and is about several tens to several hundreds of nanometers.
- a heating element of the ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator a lanthanum chromite oxide (LaCr 2 O 3 , thermal conductivity: 5 W/(m ⁇ K) or less) is used; and as a sample container, a magnesia (MgO: 60 W/(m ⁇ K)) is used.
- LaCr 2 O 3 thermal conductivity: 5 W/(m ⁇ K) or less
- MgO magnesia
- the titanium materials obtained in the above literatures are small (cylindrical with 4 mm in diameter, 3 mm in height, and 37.7 mm 3 in volume), and cannot be processed to a test piece for measuring mechanical properties such as tensile strength. Since the manufacturing condition of the above literatures uses a pressure of as high as 12 GPa, the upsizing of the titanium materials is difficult.

- the alpha pure titanium was put in a sample container made of a polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride, and pressurized up to 8 GPa and thereafter heated up to 400° C., and held for 3 hours, by using a multianvil ultrahigh-pressure high-temperature generator (“mavo press LPR 1000-400/50”, manufactured by Voggenreiter Verlag GmbH, heating element: made of graphite, maximum load: 2,800 tons), to thereby obtain a titanium material.

- the titanium material was produced by the above manufacturing method; and there were measured the composition, the tensile strength ⁇ B, the fracture elongation ⁇ %, the 0.2% yield strength ⁇ 0.2 in a tensile test, the content of omega titanium, the content c of components other than titanium in the titanium material, the average grain diameter of crystal grains constituting the titanium material, the 0.2% yield strength in a compression test, the Vickers hardness and the heat-resistant temperature. Since the measuring methods of respective measurement items were as described in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the description thereof is not repeated. The results are as follows.

- alpha pure titanium having the following composition was prepared. N: 0.05% by mass, C: 0.08% by mass, H: 0.015% by mass, O: 0.40% by mass, Fe: 0.50% by mass, Ti (having a crystal structure of an alpha phase): balance.
