Effect of annealing treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk nanostructured Ti/AZ61 composites prepared by hot pressing
Source abstract
Abstract
Magnesium alloys, as the lightest structural alloys, provide the possibility of solving environmental problems by improving energy efficiency. Developing and maintaining nanocrystalline matrix is a huge challenge, and the key to achieving ultra-high strength. The nanocrystalline Ti/AZ61 composite prepared by hot pressing was annealed, and its microstructural evolution was characterized via SEM, XRD, and TEM, including the changes in magnesium matrix, Ti dispersions, and nano-scale precipitates. The density and mechanical properties of annealed composites were tested and analyzed. After annealing treatment at 623 K for 80 h, the average grain size of nanocrystalline Ti/AZ61 composites was 102 nm. 97% of Ti dispersions were submicron sized, and Ti3Al precipitates remained nanometer-sized. Ti dispersions and Ti3Al precipitates were uniformly distributed in the magnesium matrix. Compared with hot pressed composites, the crack that originated from the prior particle boundary (PPB) was restrained for annealed composites. The improved density and PPB bonding strength of annealed Ti/AZ61 composites had a positive impact on strength and plasticity. After annealing treatment for 40 h, the density increased from ∼2.041 g/cm3 to 2.066 g/cm3. The hardness, yield strength, and FFS were 146 HV, 493 MPa, and 5.6%, respectively, with corresponding increasing rates of 7%, 12%, and 65%, respectively.
