Enhanced Resistance of Ti6Al4V Alloy to High-Temperature Oxidation and Corrosion by Forming Alumina Composite Coating
Source abstract
Abstract
This work focuses on the characterization of the microstructure and anti-oxidation properties of the composite coating synthesized on Ti6Al4V alloy. This protective composite coating was produced using sequentially applied severe plastic deformation of the near-surface layers by ultrasonic impact treatment with simultaneous addition of the reinforcing alumina powder and the air-oxidation treatment performed in a cyclic heating/cooling manner. The surface morphology is registered using white light interferometry. X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, and scanning electron microscopy show a layered microstructure of the protective alumina composite coating that comprises an outer Al2O3/TiO2 oxide film intimately connected to a deeper composite layer reinforced by Al2O3 particles occluded by the oxidized Ti6Al4V alloy matrix. Mechanical properties are assessed by the analysis of load–displacement curves at the depth-sensing indentation tests. Oxidation behaviors were studied at high-temperature tests and in the aggressive chlorine-containing medium. In comparison with the Ti6Al4V substrate alloy, the produced protective layer is shown to possess a three times higher hardness (~13 GPa), a ~50% higher elastic modulus (170 GPa), a ~70% better heat-proof resistance at 650°C, and 6.5 times better anti-corrosion properties in saline solution (a four times higher protective efficiency than that for the oxidized Ti6Al4V alloy surface). The involved mechanisms are also considered.
