摘要

γ-TiAl合金长期服役于高温环境中,其表面氧化和组织演变会影响合金部件的力学性能。因此,研究γ-TiAl合金在高温条件下的氧化行为至关重要。本工作研究了γ-TiAl铸造合金Ti-45Al-2Nb-2Mn-1B (45XD合金)和Ti-48Al-2Nb-2Cr (4822合金)在700 ℃空气中的长时等温氧化行为和组织演变。结果表明,4822合金的氧化增重和氧化膜增厚明显大于45XD合金。在0~2000 h内2种合金均表现出周期性氧化增重行为,即快速增长后缓慢增长交替进行,后期2者的氧化速率保持稳定。2种合金样品表面均形成了以表层TiO2和Al2O3为主,靠近基体处为Ti/Al-N和富Nb/Mn(Cr)的分层氧化膜。45XD合金表面氧化产物细小致密,而4822合金表面氧化产物粗大疏松,内部存在微孔,且γ晶界处的大尺寸α2相氧化严重,因此4822合金的抗高温氧化性能较差。受合金元素扩散的影响,45XD合金亚表层组织中的α2片层发生分解:α2γ,在亚表层形成了一层富Al贫Ti的γ区;45XD合金内部组织中的α2片层也部分转变为γ相,并且γ片层不断粗化。在4822合金内部组织中,γ晶粒内的α2和晶界处的α2 + β0体积分数明显下降。

Abstract

γ-TiAl alloys are a new generation of high-temperature lightweight materials characterized by low density, high specific modulus of elasticity, excellent high-temperature strength, and creep resistance, making them highly suitable for aviation, aerospace, and automotive engine applications. A typical application of the alloys is in the low-pressure turbine blades of aero-engines, such as GEnx and Trent XWB developed by the General Electric and Rolls-Royce, respectively. Their alloy compositions are Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb and Ti-45Al-2Nb-2Mn-1B (atomic fraction, %), respectively. γ-TiAl alloys are required for long-term service at 600-700 oC; however, they react readily with oxygen to form oxide scale when exposed in air at high temperatures, compromising service safety and reliability. Thus, understanding the long-term oxidation behavior of γ-TiAl alloys during service at high temperatures is imperative. In this study, the oxide scale and microstructural evolution of cast Ti-45Al-2Nb-2Mn-1B alloy (45XD alloy) and Ti-48Al-2Nb-2Cr alloy (4822 alloy) at 700 oC in air for 0-2000 h were investigated using SEM and TEM. The mass gain of both alloys was measured during oxidation, and their oxidation behaviors were compared. The 4822 alloy exhibited a notably higher mass gain than the 45XD alloy. Both alloys demonstrated periodic mass gain behavior during oxidation for 0-2000 h—alternating rapid and slow gains—with stabilization in the later stages. The oxide scales formed layered structures, primarily of TiO2 and Al2O3, on the surface of both alloys; the scale of 45XD alloy was continuous and dense, whereas that of the 4822 alloy was porous. Additionally, the study revealed that α2 lamellae in the subsurface of the 45XD alloy decomposed during oxidation, forming an Al-rich and Ti-lean γ zone on the subsurface. α2 lamellae in the bulk microstructure of the 45XD alloy were also decomposed and transformed into γ phase. The 4822 alloy experienced a significant reduction in the volume fractions of α2 in equiaxed γ grains and α2 + β0 at equiaxed γ grain boundaries.
