- the ⁇ -type Ti alloy increases its strength by heat treatment such as ⁇ -phase precipitation aging treatment, but fatigue strength is practically important for mechanical parts.
- the fracture of ⁇ -type Ti alloy is caused by cracks in the precipitated ⁇ -phase grains or the boundary between ⁇ -phase and ⁇ -phase, and the occurrence of any crack is caused by the difference in elastic strain between ⁇ -phase and ⁇ -phase. it is conceivable that.
- the structure strengthened by precipitation of ⁇ phase by aging treatment from ⁇ matrix phase such as ⁇ -type Ti alloy there is a limit to improvement of fatigue strength even if static strength is excellent.
- Ti-6Al-4V (mass%) alloys classified into typical ⁇ + ⁇ type have a good balance of mechanical properties such as strength, ductility and toughness.
- the Ti-6Al-4V alloy has advantages such as being inexpensive and having less variation in components and material strength.
- the mechanical properties of such a Ti-6Al-4V alloy depend mainly on the form of the structure, depending on whether it is an equiaxed crystal structure, an acicular structure, or a mixed (bimodal) structure. And affected by strength.
- the equiaxed crystal structure is excellent in strength, elongation, resistance to occurrence of fatigue cracks, and plastic workability.
- the acicular structure is excellent in creep resistance, fracture toughness and resistance to crack propagation. Mixed tissues also have the advantages of each organization.
- the present invention greatly improves the workability, strength, and toughness of Ti-6Al-4V based general standard composition alloys that are inexpensive and have a high penetration rate, or Ti alloys having a structure classified as near ⁇ type or ⁇ + ⁇ type.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a Ti alloy suitable as a material to replace a ⁇ -type Ti alloy for structural members including automobile parts, and a method for producing the same.
- the ⁇ -type Ti alloy refers to an alloy having a composition classified as a Ti alloy that can be age-hardened after a metastable ⁇ phase is formed at room temperature.
- the present inventors do not have a ⁇ -type Ti alloy composition, but do not become a single ⁇ -phase at room temperature due to normal cooling after solution treatment, but rather are classified as a near ⁇ -type or ⁇ + ⁇ -type with a high ⁇ -phase ratio.
- the Ti alloy composition was studied.
- the ⁇ phase which is difficult to mold into parts, is changed from a conventional structure with a crystal grain size of micrometer order to a fine equiaxed crystal structure with a nanometer order, resulting in excellent workability and toughness to parts.
- the present inventors have found a Ti alloy that can be expected to have high strength and high fatigue strength by minimizing the ⁇ phase. Furthermore, the formation and homogenization of the nanocrystalline structure of the Ti alloy starting from ⁇ ′ martensite, which has not been utilized until now, has been achieved, and the present invention has been completed.
- ⁇ Ti alloy is highly sensitive to notches, and once a crack occurs, the crack propagation rate is faster than steel. From this, the present inventors considered that the resistance to initial crack formation is increased by making equiaxed crystals the main structure in addition to the improvement of strength by crystal grain refinement, and the uniform and fine equiaxed I thought that if crystals were formed by processing, the strength and toughness were improved, and improvement in fatigue strength could be expected.
- ⁇ 'martensite crystals are formed. This is a crystalline phase formed by non-diffusion transformation in the solution hardening process, and ⁇ -type Ti alloy in which ⁇ phase remains as it is to room temperature. In not expressed.
- the ⁇ 'martensite crystal is needle-like and the crystal structure is a dense hexagonal crystal structure similar to the equilibrium ⁇ crystal. The difference from the equilibrium ⁇ crystal is that it becomes a thermally unstable crystal phase due to rapid cooling.
- a large amount of defects such as ⁇ ′ (10-11) twins, stacking faults or dislocations on ⁇ ′ (0001)
- ⁇ 1 indicates a bar ( ⁇ ) added to 1 above.
- the Ti alloy production method of the present invention is a process in which dynamic recrystallization is manifested in a material composed of an ⁇ ′ martensite phase generated mainly by rapid cooling from the ⁇ transus temperature as a starting structure of hot working. It is characterized by performing.
- the processing in which dynamic recrystallization is manifested specifically means heating at a heating rate of 50 to 800 ° C./second, and a strain rate of 0.01 to 10 / second in the temperature range of 700 to 800 ° C. Processing is performed so that the strain becomes 0.5 or more at a speed. Alternatively, in a temperature range higher than 800 ° C. and lower than 1000 ° C., processing is performed such that the strain rate is 0.1 to 10 / second and the strain is 0.5 or more.
- the hot working method a working method in which dynamic recrystallization is expressed at the time of working such as press working or extrusion working is adopted. Furthermore, after hot working, cooling is performed at a rate of 20 ° C./second or more so that nanometer-order crystal grains generated by dynamic recrystallization do not become coarse.
- the Ti alloy produced as described above has a composition generally classified into near ⁇ -type and / or ⁇ + ⁇ -type Ti alloys, and has a structure in which equiaxed crystals having an average crystal grain size of less than 1000 nm are uniformly dispersed. Become. Since the minimum crystal grain size that can be observed and discriminated at 50000 times using the SEM / EBSD method with an acceleration voltage of 20 kV is 98 nm, the minimum value of the crystal grain size in the present invention is substantially 98 nm.
- the ⁇ + ⁇ type Ti alloy is a Ti alloy in which the ⁇ phase is 10 to 50% in terms of area ratio at room temperature at a cooling rate of normal casting or the like, and the near ⁇ type Ti alloy is V, Cr, Mo or the like.
- a Ti alloy containing 1 to 2% by mass of a ⁇ -phase stabilizing element, and at the same cooling rate, the ⁇ -phase is a Ti alloy having an area ratio of more than 0% and less than 10%.
- the area ratio of the ⁇ phase is It is desirable to make it 1.0% or less. The reason is that if the area ratio of the ⁇ phase exceeds 1.0%, there is a high possibility that fracture occurs at the interface between the ⁇ phase and the ⁇ phase, resulting in a decrease in fatigue strength. Note that when the ⁇ phase exceeds 50 area% at normal temperature and no martensitic transformation occurs, it is a ⁇ -type alloy.
- the crystal as described above is a fine and uniform structure in which almost no dislocations are introduced into the crystal, and its strength is improved compared to conventional Ti alloys and the part shape. Improvement in workability can be expected.
- ⁇ ′ martensite is used as a strengthening method of Ti-6Al-4V ⁇ + ⁇ type alloy.
- acicular ⁇ crystals are precipitated in ⁇ ′ martensite by heat treatment to improve strength and toughness. Yield strength, hardness, and toughness are improved at the same time.
- hardness and toughness are inversely related, and it cannot be expected that toughness and hardness can be improved at the same time.
- the toughness is predicted from the drawing ratio of the fracture surface of the sample after the tensile test, there is no description of the comparative example and it is difficult to accurately determine the toughness.
- the workability, strength and toughness of the Ti alloy are greatly improved.
- the reason why the structure and the manufacturing method are specified as described above in the high-strength Ti alloy and the manufacturing method thereof of the present invention will be described.
- a Ti alloy composition for forming an ⁇ ′ martensite structure which is a starting structure in the present production method
- a composition usually classified into a near ⁇ type or ⁇ + ⁇ type Ti alloy is suitable.
- the ⁇ transus temperature moves to a higher temperature region, resulting in inefficient heating energy.
- a brittle ⁇ 2 phase for example, Ti 3 Al
- almost no ⁇ ′ martensite structure can be obtained.
- the near ⁇ -type and ⁇ -type Ti alloys maintain the ⁇ phase metastable at room temperature, so that the ⁇ ′ martensite is almost entirely not detected by X-ray diffraction or the above EBSD analysis even when quenched. It is confirmed that the structure that becomes the site phase is not obtained and the ⁇ phase remains. Therefore, it cannot be expected to obtain a uniform and fine dynamic recrystallized structure using ⁇ ′ martensite.
- the composition usually classified into near ⁇ type and ⁇ + ⁇ type Ti alloys almost no ⁇ phase is detected at the same analysis level after the same treatment. Therefore, compositions classified into near ⁇ type and ⁇ + ⁇ type Ti alloys are good.
- the reason why the ⁇ 'martensite phase is used as the starting structure is a thermally unstable phase and has a large number of defects in the needle-like structure, so that the defect site easily acts as a recrystallization nucleation site. Because. Also, in the needle-like ⁇ + ⁇ mixed structure, the dislocation of ⁇ ⁇ 11-20>, which is the a-axis direction, mainly moves, whereas in ⁇ ′ martensite, the dislocation in the c-axis direction is also active in addition to the a-axis direction. By moving, the deformability is higher than ⁇ , and the dislocation crossing spot of the needle-like tissue is multidirectional and more than the ⁇ + ⁇ mixed tissue. This crossing spot acts as a nucleation site, and there are far more nucleation sites in the hot work than the ⁇ + ⁇ phase, so the ⁇ 'martensite phase is the hot work start structure. It is advantageous to use it.
- Temperature rise rate 50 to 800 ° C./second Since the ⁇ ′ martensite phase of the starting structure is a thermally unstable phase, the time for phase transformation to the equilibrium ⁇ + ⁇ phase when the temperature rise rate is less than 50 ° C./second Will give you a margin. On the other hand, when the rate of temperature rise exceeds 800 ° C./second, although it depends on the size of the workpiece, it is not easy to control the temperature in a practical heating means or a series of steps. In addition, when it is desired to obtain a wide range of tissue formation region obtained by the present invention, the temperature difference between the surface and the inside becomes too large and there is a limit.
- the temperature increase rate of the Ti alloy was set to 50 to 800 ° C./second.
- strain rate 0.01 to 10 / second
- strain rate 0.1 to 10 / second
- Strain 0.5 or more
- the processing temperature is lower than 700 ° C.
- the driving energy for dynamic recrystallization becomes insufficient as the temperature becomes lower
- the dynamic recrystallization area in the processed part becomes less and non-uniform
- the overall structure is a coarse ⁇ crystal stretched by processing And a heterogeneous dynamic recrystallized nanocrystal texture mixed structure.
- dynamic recrystallization may not occur and a nanocrystalline structure may not be generated.
- the processing temperature is 1000 ° C. or higher, the ⁇ -phase generation and growth rate increase rapidly, and the equilibrium ⁇ -phase becomes coarse. Then, it is transformed into a coarse ⁇ phase or a needle-like structure by cooling to room temperature.
- each processing of the present invention is performed.
- the structure gives time for the ⁇ + ⁇ transformation and its coarsening, and the advantage of dynamic recrystallization is lost.
- problems such as a decrease in productivity.
- the strain rate exceeds 10 / second, it is not practical because of a rapid increase in deformation resistance due to a high processing speed, cracking of the workpiece due to it, and an excessive burden on the processing apparatus.
- an equiaxed crystal having an average crystal grain size of less than 1000 nm requires 80% or more of the structure. This is because when the area ratio of the structure is less than 80%, the strength and toughness required by the market do not appear remarkably. That is, 80% or more of the entire Ti alloy needs to undergo processing that causes dynamic recrystallization. For this reason, the strain due to processing needs to be 0.5 or more. Further, the area ratio of the structure as described above is preferably 90% or more, and therefore, the strain is desirably 0.8 or more.
- the GOS map measurement by the backscattered electron diffraction (EBSD) method shows that the orientation angle difference in the crystal grains of the equiaxed crystal is less than 3 °, the dislocation density is small, and this is effective for the part shape workability. It is confirmed that the recrystallization occurred. Therefore, processing is performed so that the area ratio by such measurement is 80% or more, preferably 90% or more.
- the structure as described above does not necessarily have to be formed on the entire material. Depending on how the product is used, the processing conditions of the present invention are applied only to necessary areas, such as the surface layer where the operating stress is high, and the inside of the processed part. However, the area ratio defined in the present invention may be used.
- the strain of 0.5 described above reaches the maximum value of the deformation resistance at the initial strain from the deformation resistance curve during hot working at 700 to 900 ° C. at which the structure is obtained, and then decreases until the strain is less than 0.5 ( It is defined that it has been confirmed that a substantially constant deformation resistance state is obtained when dynamic recrystallization is almost completed at 0.5 or more.
- the strain in the present invention is expressed by the following formula 1.
- Cooling rate after processing 20 ° C./second or more After hot processing, it is necessary to cool at a cooling rate of 20 ° C./second or more so as not to coarsen the nanocrystal grains generated by dynamic recrystallization.
- the Ti alloy of the present invention is preferably a Ti alloy having a composition comprising 4 to 9% by mass of Al, 2 to 10% by mass of V, the balance being Ti and inevitable impurities.
- the average crystal grain size is desirably 600 nm or less.
- the hardness is preferably 360 HV or more and the 0.2% bending strength is 1400 MPa or more.
- the workability, strength, and toughness of a Ti-6Al-4V general standard composition alloy that is inexpensive and has a high penetration rate, or a Ti alloy having a structure classified as a near ⁇ type or ⁇ + ⁇ type are greatly improved.
- This provides a Ti alloy suitable as a material to replace the ⁇ -type Ti alloy of structural members including automobile parts.

Abstract
Description
出発組織のα’マルテンサイト相は熱的に不安定な相であるため、昇温速度が50℃/秒未満であると平衡α+β相に相変態する時間の余裕を与えてしまう。一方、昇温速度が800℃/秒を超えると、被加工材の寸法にもよるが、現実的な加熱手段や一連の工程における温度制御が容易でなくなる。また、本発明で得る組織の形成領域を広範囲に得たい場合、表面と内部の温度差が大きくなり過ぎて限界がある。さらに、800℃/秒を超える昇温速度では素材の流動性が表面と内部で差が大きくなり、加工時に割れが生じ好ましくない。よって、Ti合金の昇温速度は50~800℃/秒とした。
熱間加工温度が800℃を超え1000℃未満のとき、ひずみ速度:0.1~10/秒
ひずみ:0.5以上
上記熱間加工条件はTi合金の動的再結晶が活発に起こり、α’マルテンサイト相を加工出発組織としたときに均一で微細な等軸晶の平均結晶粒径が1000nm未満になる条件である。加工温度が700℃未満で低温になるほど動的再結晶のための駆動エネルギーが不足し、被加工部での動的再結晶領域が少なく不均一化し、全体組織としては加工によって伸びた粗大α晶と不均一な動的再結晶したナノ結晶組織の混合組織になる。あるいは、動的再結晶が起こらずナノ結晶組織が生成されないこともある。一方、加工温度が1000℃以上になると、β相の生成と成長速度が急増し、平衡β相が粗大化する。そして、その後室温までの冷却によって粗大α相や針状組織に変態する。
熱間加工後は動的再結晶により生成したナノ結晶粒を粗大化させないために、20℃/秒以上の冷却速度で冷却する必要がある。
