摘要

通过XRD、OM、SEM和压缩实验等方法,研究了热处理对选区激光熔化制备Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr (Ti55531)合金多孔材料组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在750~900℃之间进行固溶处理随后于500~600℃之间进行时效处理,Ti55531合金多孔材料的孔梁组织由α相和β相组成。随着固溶温度升高,孔梁中初生α相含量减少,次生α相含量增加,孔梁母材抗压强度升高但塑性降低,造成其韧性变差。随着时效温度的升高,孔梁中初生α相形状、尺寸和含量无明显变化,次生α相的含量减少而尺寸增加,孔梁母材抗压强度降低,塑性增加,使其韧性提高。Ti55531合金多孔材料抗压强度与其孔梁母材韧性密切相关,通过热处理调节孔梁母材强度和塑性匹配,提高其韧性,能够有效改善多孔材料的压缩强度。

Abstract

Lightweight metallic cellular components with high strength have received extensive interest because they are desirable for structural components. Previously, titanium alloy cellular structures were formed using additive manufacturing with the selective laser melting or electron beam melting technique. Numerous techniques have been developed to improve their strength. Most of these studies have focused on structure topology design. The relationship between the strength and mechanical properties of their strut parent materials has gained considerable attention. XRD, OM, SEM, and compression tests were used to investigate the effects of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr (Ti55531) alloy porous materials prepared through selective laser melting. The results show that the microstructure in struts consist of α and β phases after solution treatment at a temperature between 750oC and 900oC followed by an aging treatment at a temperature between 500oC and 600oC. The volume fraction of the primary α phase in the struts decreases as the solution temperature rises, whereas the volume fraction of the secondary α phase increases. The strut parent material's compressive strength increases but its elongation decreases, resulting in a decrease in toughness. With the increase of aging temperature, the shape, size, and volume fraction of the primary α phase in the strut do not change considerably, whereas the volume fraction of the secondary α phase decreases and the size increases. The strut parent material's compressive strength decreases while elongation increases, increa-sing toughness. The compressive strength of the examined porous alloy is strongly connected to the toughness of the parent material of the struts, which can be effectively improved by adjusting the strength and plasticity of the struts through heat treatment. The above results will guide the design of lightweight metallic cellular components with high strength.

多孔材料具有质量轻,比表面积大,吸附性、渗透性和散热性好等优点,是实现材料轻量化和结构功能一体化的有效途径之一[1,2],在汽车、机械、化工、医疗、能源和航空航天等领域具有广阔的应用前景[3]

多孔材料的强度和密度符合Gibson-Ashby关系,提高强度的同时密度也会增大,很难在低密度下实现高强度需求[4]。为解决这一矛盾,可以通过调整孔型结构和改善孔梁组织组成优化多孔材料的性能。厉雪等[5]研究了Gyroid结构在冲击加载条件下的动态力学响应,发现负梯度结构具有比正梯度结构和均匀结构更低的屈服应力。Luxner等[6]对规则和无序多孔结构进行有限元分析,发现规则结构比无序结构具有更高的强度,但容易发生突然性破坏。Vesenjak等[7]报道了圆形单元结构比矩形单元结构具有更稳定的变形行为和更好的能量吸收能力。Li等[8]的研究表明通过单元结构设计,改变施加于孔梁力的屈曲和弯曲分量匹配,可以有效改善多孔材料的变形行为和强度。Jang等[9]通过降低单元结构尺寸和仿生多级结构设计,制备出强度高达1.75 GPa的超轻陶瓷多孔材料。Zheng等[10]在微米尺度对单元结构进行优化设计,使孔梁仅承受拉-拉或压-压变形,实现了超强超轻多孔材料制备。Bauer等[11]利用增材制造技术,制备出单元结构尺寸达到纳米级的聚合物多孔材料,其“强度/密度”比值与金刚石相当。赵朔等[12]和Yang等[13]利用热处理对Ti-6Al-4V多孔合金组织进行调整,发现通过改变α片层厚度及长度可以有效提高多孔材料的塑性。从已报道的结果来看,目前多孔材料力学性能优化相关研究多集中于孔型结构设计,尚缺乏孔梁组织和性能调整与多孔材料力学性能内在关联的研究。

Ti55531合金名义成分为Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr (质量分数,%),是一种亚稳β型钛合金,通过固溶、时效处理可以有效改善该合金的组织,实现其高强度特性[14]。此外,该合金还具有良好的淬透性,且不易产生成分偏析[15],在航空航天等领域具有较高的工程应用价值。本工作利用激光选区熔化(selective laser melting,SLM)技术制备了Ti55531合金多孔材料,研究了热处理对孔梁母材组织及力学性能的影响规律,并探讨了其对多孔材料力学性能影响机制,为Ti55531多孔材料的应用提供实验数据支撑和理论支持。

2.2 热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料孔梁组织的影响

2.2.1 原始打印态组织

图3为Ti55531合金多孔材料孔梁原始打印态和不同热处理制度处理后的XRD谱。由图可见,孔梁的原始打印态组织由bcc结构β相组成,这主要与SLM成形技术较快的冷却速率有关。图4为Ti55531多孔材料原始态孔梁横截面显微组织的OM和SEM像。可以看出,孔梁的横截面组织主要为等轴晶,平均晶粒尺寸为28.3 μm。图5为Ti55531多孔材料孔梁表面形貌的SEM像。可见,孔梁表面凹凸不平,粗糙度较大,这是由孔梁表面粘附着大量未熔融和半熔融的Ti55531预合金粉末颗粒造成的。

2.2.2 热处理态组织

Ti55531合金多孔样品经750~900℃固溶处理和500~600℃时效处理后,孔梁组织主要由α + β相组成(图3),不同固溶温度和时效温度下从β基体中析出的α相形貌和分布会有所不同。

(1) 固溶温度的影响

图67分别为Ti55531多孔材料经不同固溶温度处理后在500℃时效处理的OM和SEM像。由图6可见,随固溶处理温度升高,晶粒尺寸增加,当固溶温度达到900℃时,晶粒尺寸约为89.8 μm。在Ti55531合金相变点(845 ± 5)℃以上对多孔样品进行固溶处理(900℃)随后时效处理,其孔梁组织主要由针状αs相和β基体构成(图7gh)。而在相变点以下进行固溶处理随后时效处理,孔梁组织由初生αp相、αs相和β基体组成(图7c~f),αp相形貌为长条状、短棒状或椭球状,尺寸在0.5~2.0 μm之间,主要分布于β晶粒内部和晶界处。αs相形貌为针片状,尺寸在200 nm以下,主要分布于晶粒内部的αp相之间。随着固溶温度的升高,晶界处αp相逐渐碎化,且尺寸有所增加,αp相含量降低,αs相含量增加(表2)。以上结果表明,固溶温度主要影响时效样品中αp相的形貌、分布和数量。对于未经固溶处理直接时效处理样品(图7ab),组织由αs相与β相组成,与在相变点以上固溶处理并时效处理样品相比,其αs相数量更多,且尺寸更细小。

图89为试样经800℃固溶处理后在不同温度时效处理显微组织的OM和SEM像。可见,经两步热处理后,孔梁主要由αp相、αs相和β基体组成。随着时效温度的升高,其晶粒尺寸,αp相形状、尺寸和含量无显著变化,αs相含量则减少(表2),尺寸显著增加。

2.3 热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料孔梁母材力学性能影响

为考察热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料孔梁母材本征力学性能的影响,随炉打印了尺寸为直径1.75 mm、长3.5 mm的小棒,并对其进行了压缩性能测试(图10)。结果表明,与原始打印态相比,热处理后由于αp相和αs相的析出,孔梁母材强度升高,但塑性下降。当样品经不同温度固溶处理随后同一温度时效处理时,随着固溶温度的升高,孔梁母材的强度增加,塑性降低;样品在同一温度(800℃)固溶处理随后在不同温度时效处理时,随着时效温度的升高,孔梁母材的强度降低,塑性增加。如果样品不经固溶直接进行时效处理,样品强度较高,但塑性低于固溶处理样品。与传统锻态Ti55531合金相比,固溶时效处理后SLM制备合金的强度更高[16]

2.4 热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料力学性能的影响

图11为原始打印态Ti55531合金多孔材料的压缩应力-应变曲线和抗压强度。由图11a可见,对于原始打印态多孔样品,其应力-应变曲线呈现出韧性金属多孔材料变形行为。而热处理后,多孔材料应力-应变曲线呈现出脆性金属多孔材料的变形特征,当应力达到最高值后,出现了比较大的波动。图11b表明,热处理可以提高多孔材料的强度,但其变化趋势与孔梁母材本征强度变化显著不同。当样品经不同温度固溶处理随后时效处理时,随着固溶温度的升高,多孔材料的强度降低;样品在同一温度固溶处理随后在不同温度时效处理时,随着时效温度的升高,多孔材料的强度升高。如果样品不经固溶处理直接进行时效处理时,样品强度最低。与具有相同孔隙特征的纯Ti、Ti-6Al-4V、Ti2448合金等多孔材料相比,Ti55531合金多孔材料具有更高的强度,但其塑性较差[3,17]

3 分析讨论

3.1 热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料孔梁母材力学性能影响机制

金属材料的力学性能与其显微组织密切相关。对于钛合金来说,时效处理导致的强度提高主要与热处理过程中形成的αs相含量及形貌有关,而αp相的含量、形貌及分布主要影响材料的塑性[18~20]。在本工作中,对Ti55531合金在相变点以上固溶处理随后时效处理,样品中析出相全部为αs相。αs相为钛合金中的强化相[18,19],因此造成该合金强度显著提高。由于αs相大都从β晶内析出,晶界的强度与晶内差别过大,造成材料过早地在晶界处失效,导致材料塑性降低[20]。对于未经固溶处理直接时效处理的样品,其析出相也全为αs相,但相较于900℃固溶后时效样品,由于SLM成形过程中的快速凝固特性,使合金组织中存在高密度位错和较大的残余内应力[21,22],造成了其时效过程中优先形核质点更多[23],促进了αs相形核,使得αs相含量更高,且αs相的尺寸更加细小,其晶内的强度与晶界处差别更大,造成其塑性更低。

对Ti55531合金在相变点以下固溶处理时,在其β晶界和晶内有αp相生成。晶界处不连续的αp相能够强化晶界,降低晶界和晶内的强度差,避免材料从晶界过早开裂的倾向,晶内的αp相能够协调与αs相的变形,因此αp相的析出有利于提高材料的塑性。随着固溶温度的提高,α相形核驱动力降低,热力学稳定性减弱,导致保留到室温的αp相减少[24,25],因此Ti55531合金塑性降低。而晶粒内部αp相减少为随后时效过程αs相的析出提供了更多的析出空间,导致αs相析出数量增加,材料强度提高。当Ti55531合金在同一温度固溶处理后再经不同温度时效处理时,由于固溶温度相同,αp相的形貌及含量相同,其力学性能的变化主要与αs相形貌和含量有关。随着时效温度的升高,为αs相的生长提供了更大的驱动力,同时降低了αs相的成核速率[26],使得αs相的尺寸有所增加,根据Hall-Patch关系,材料强度降低。而αs相尺寸增加,在塑性变形过程中会激活更多的滑移系,使得材料的塑性有所提高[27,28]

3.2 热处理对Ti55531合金多孔材料力学性能影响机制

上述实验结果表明,热处理后Ti55531合金多孔材料强度呈现出与其孔梁母材强度完全不同的变化趋势。在增材制备过程中,由于多孔材料孔梁表面存在未熔融和半熔融黏附粉末颗粒,使其表面非常粗糙,形成凹凸不平的表面,这是增材制造多孔材料的一个特点[29,30]。在压缩变形过程中,容易在孔梁表面凹坑处形成应力集中,促进裂纹的形成,造成孔梁还未达到孔梁母材本征强度的最大值就过早失效,降低了多孔材料结构的强度,因此热处理后孔梁母材强度最高时其对应的多孔材料强度并未达到最高值,2者呈现出不同的变化趋势。材料抵抗裂纹形成与扩展的能力主要与材料韧性有关[31,32]。为使材料具有较高的抵抗裂纹生成的能力,要求材料具有较高的韧性。韧性一般可以定性地表示为材料在断裂前吸收能量和进行塑性变形的能力,其大小与其强度和塑性的匹配密切相关。为表征材料强度、塑性与韧性的关系,温茂萍等[33]提出断裂能的概念,断裂能是指试样在拉伸或压缩过程中,在裂纹出现前单位体积所吸收的能量,其计算公式为[33]

Wt=0εbσt(ε)dε
Wc=0εbσc(ε)dε

式中,Wt为拉伸断裂能,J/m3σt为拉伸应力,MPa;Wc为压缩断裂能,J/m3σc为压缩应力,MPa;ε为拉伸或压缩应变;εb为最大拉伸或压缩应力下的应变。可见,断裂能与材料韧性定性表述的物理意义相近,断裂能与韧性存在对应关系,断裂能高,则韧性好。根据图10a,按照 式(1)和(2)计算了不同热处理制度处理后孔梁材料的断裂能(图12)。结果表明,多孔材料的强度与孔梁材料的断裂能存在对应关系。当孔梁材料的断裂能越高,韧性越好,孔梁抵抗裂纹萌生的能力越强,可避免孔梁过早失效,使多孔材料具有更高的强度。

4 结论

(1) SLM制备的Ti55531合金多孔材料,在750~900℃之间进行固溶处理后在500~600℃之间进行时效处理。固溶时效处理后,孔梁组织由α相和β相组成。

(2) 随着固溶温度升高,孔梁组织中αp相含量减少,αs相含量增加,孔梁母材的抗压强度升高,塑性降低,使得压缩断裂能降低,韧性变差。随着时效温度的升高,孔梁组织中αp相形貌、尺寸和含量无明显变化,αs相的含量减少,尺寸增加,孔梁母材抗压强度降低,塑性增加,使得压缩断裂能增加,韧性变好。

(3) 钛合金多孔材料抗压强度与其孔梁母材韧性密切相关。通过热处理调节材料强度和塑性匹配,提高其韧性,能够有效改善多孔材料的压缩强度。

[J]. J. Mater. Sci. Technol., 2019, 35: 285

DOI      [本文引用: 1]

Porous titanium and its alloys have been considered as promising replacement for dense implants, as they possess low elastic modulus comparable to that of compact human bones and are capable of providing space for in-growth of bony tissues to achieve a better fixation. Recently, the additive manufacturing (AM) method has been successfully applied to the fabrication of Ti-6Al-4V cellular meshes and foams. Comparing to traditional fabrication methods, the AM method offers advantages of accurate control of complex cell shapes and internal pore architectures, thus attracting extensive attention. Considering the long-term safety in the human body, the metallic cellular structures should possess high fatigue strength. In this paper, the recent progress on the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V cellular structures fabricated by the AM technique is reviewed. The various design factors including cell shapes, surface properties, post treatments and graded porosity distribution affecting the fatigue properties of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V cellular structures were introduced and future development trends were also discussed.

The susceptibility to deformation localization of simple cubic arrangements of struts, which are a simple approximation of the micro-architecture in cancellous bone, is analyzed. The coherence between structural disorder and the tendency towards deformation localization is investigated and its relevance from a biological point of view is discussed. A systematic study on the spatial deformation distribution of regular and disordered open cell structures is carried out. To this end, finite element models are employed which account for elastic-plastic bulk material and large strain theory, and a methodology for the estimation of the degree of deformation localization is introduced.

DOI      PMID      [本文引用: 1]

Ti-6Al-4V reticulated meshes with different elements (cubic, G7 and rhombic dodecahedron) in Materialise software were fabricated by additive manufacturing using the electron beam melting (EBM) method, and the effects of cell shape on the mechanical properties of these samples were studied. The results showed that these cellular structures with porosities of 88-58% had compressive strength and elastic modulus in the range 10-300MPa and 0.5-15GPa, respectively. The compressive strength and deformation behavior of these meshes were determined by the coupling of the buckling and bending deformation of struts. Meshes that were dominated by buckling deformation showed relatively high collapse strength and were prone to exhibit brittle characteristics in their stress-strain curves. For meshes dominated by bending deformation, the elastic deformation corresponded well to the Gibson-Ashby model. By enhancing the effect of bending deformation, the stress-strain curve characteristics can change from brittle to ductile (the smooth plateau area). Therefore, Ti-6Al-4V cellular solids with high strength, low modulus and desirable deformation behavior could be fabricated through the cell shape design using the EBM technique.

Fabrication and deformation of three-dimensional hollow ceramic nanostructures

[J]. Nat. Mater., 2013, 12: 893

DOI      PMID      [本文引用: 1]

Creating lightweight, mechanically robust materials has long been an engineering pursuit. Many siliceous skeleton species--such as diatoms, sea sponges and radiolarians--have remarkably high strengths when compared with man-made materials of the same composition, yet are able to remain lightweight and porous. It has been suggested that these properties arise from the hierarchical arrangement of different structural elements at their relevant length scales. Here, we report the fabrication of hollow ceramic scaffolds that mimic the length scales and hierarchy of biological materials. The constituent solids attain tensile strengths of 1.75 GPa without failure even after multiple deformation cycles, as revealed by in situ nanomechanical experiments and finite-element analysis. We discuss the high strength and lack of failure in terms of stress concentrators at surface imperfections and of local stresses within the microstructural landscape. Our findings suggest that the hierarchical design principles offered by hard biological organisms can be applied to create damage-tolerant lightweight engineering materials.

Ultralight, ultrastiff mechanical metamaterials

[J]. Science, 2014, 344: 1373

DOI      PMID      [本文引用: 1]

The mechanical properties of ordinary materials degrade substantially with reduced density because their structural elements bend under applied load. We report a class of microarchitected materials that maintain a nearly constant stiffness per unit mass density, even at ultralow density. This performance derives from a network of nearly isotropic microscale unit cells with high structural connectivity and nanoscale features, whose structural members are designed to carry loads in tension or compression. Production of these microlattices, with polymers, metals, or ceramics as constituent materials, is made possible by projection microstereolithography (an additive micromanufacturing technique) combined with nanoscale coating and postprocessing. We found that these materials exhibit ultrastiff properties across more than three orders of magnitude in density, regardless of the constituent material.

Approaching theoretical strength in glassy carbon nanolattices

[J]. Nat. Mater., 2016, 15: 438

DOI      PMID      [本文引用: 1]

The strength of lightweight mechanical metamaterials, which aim to exploit material-strengthening size effects by their microscale lattice structure, has been limited by the resolution of three-dimensional lithography technologies and their restriction to mainly polymer resins. Here, we demonstrate that pyrolysis of polymeric microlattices can overcome these limitations and create ultra-strong glassy carbon nanolattices with single struts shorter than 1 mu m and diameters as small as 200 nm. They represent the smallest lattice structures yet produced-achieved by an 80% shrinkage of the polymer during pyrolysis-and exhibit material strengths of up to 3 GPa, corresponding approximately to the theoretical strength of glassy carbon. The strength-to-density ratios of the nanolattices are six times higher than those of reported microlattices. With a honeycomb topology, effective strengths of 1.2 GPa at 0.6 g cm(3) are achieved. Diamond is the only bulk material with a notably higher strength-to-density ratio.

Influence of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of a high-strength Zr-Ti alloy

[J]. Acta. Metall. Sin., 2014, 50: 19

DOI      [本文引用: 1]

Due to the high stress, relative low density and excellent resistance of radiation, Zr-based alloys have become promising structural materials used in the space environment. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties is the key issue for designing Zr-based alloy in different alloy systems and has attracted extensive research interests. The microstructures could be adjusted by different processes of heat treatment and thus realizing the optimization of mechanical properties. In this work, the initial microstructure and mechanical properties of a high strength Zr47Ti45Al5V3 (mass fraction, %) alloy was investigated. The XRD results reveal that the initial Zr-based alloy is consisted of α (hcp) and β (bcc) phases. Transmission electron microscopy result shows that the lathy α phase homogenously distributed within the β phase matrix. Mechanical tests of this alloy show very high strength but limited plasticity. The tensile strength is 1648 MPa. However, the tensile elongation is only 0.8%. DSC trace indicates that the transition temperature of α phase to β phase is located between 560~750 ℃ that provides the possibility to adjust the microstructures through different processes of heat treatment. In order to optimize the mechanical properties, several different processes of heat treatment were conducted on this Zr-based alloy, and the relative volume fraction of α and β phase is successfully adjusted. According to the mechanical tests, the plasticity becomes larger as the amount of β phase increases with a slight decrease in strength. When the volume fraction of β phase is about 60%, the alloy exhibits the optimal mechanical performance with a tensile strength of 1398 MPa and an elongation of 3.1%.
