Microstructure Factor of Creep Behavior in Near-α Ti Alloy

Abstract:

Heat-resistant Ti-Al-Nb-Zr alloys, which don’t contain Sn, have been designed to obtain good oxidation resistance above 600 °C. In addition, to design Ti alloys with best balance of creep and fatigue properties, prior β grain size which affects fatigue properties and lamellar microstructure which affects creep properties were controlled by heat treatment. In the present study, the effect of microstructure on creep properties of one of the alloys, i.e., Ti-7.5Al-4Nb-4Zr alloy, with the bimodal (B), the lamellar structures in small prior β grains (L_S), and the lamellar in large prior β grains (L_L) were investigated at 600 °C. The creep deformation mechanism for each microstructure was a power-law creep. However, the creep life varied depending on the microstructures. The longest creep life was obtained in L_S with prior β grain size of 90 μm and interlamellar spacing of approximately 10 μm, while the shortest creep life was obtained in L_L with prior β grain size of 550 μm and fine interlamellar spacing of less than 2~3 μm. This suggests that creep life is more affected by interlamellar spacing than by prior β grain size.
