Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of TC4 Titanium Alloy Subjected to High Static Magnetic Field

Abstract:

The TC4 titanium alloy was subjected to high static magnetic field (HSMF) treatment with different magnetic induced intensities (B=0、1T、2T、3T、4T、5T、6T and 7T). The effects of B on the texture, dislocation density, grain size, tensile properties and micro-hardness of TC4 titanium alloy were investigated, and the influence mechanism of magneto-plastic effect on the plastic deformation ability of titanium alloy was also been studied. The results showed that the dislocation density had been increased after the HSME treatment. It reached a maximum when B=2 T, which was enhanced by 1.6 times compared to that of the untreated samples. In the view of quantum scale,the magnetic field promoted the transition of radical pairs from singlet to triplet state, which caused the movement of dislocation, led to the dislocation depinning from the depinning center, and increased the flexibility of dislocation. Subsequently, the inevitability of optimized 2T parameter was further discussed in the dislocation pile-up. Furthermore, the magnetic field not only promoted the orientation preference of crystal plane along the slipping direction, but also had the effect on the grain refinement. Meanwhile the elongation had been increased due to HSMF treatment. The average elongation of TC4 alloy was 13.12% which was enhanced by 31.07% compared to that of the untreated sample which was 10.01%. And, the elongation increased with the increment of magnetic induction intensity B. The HSME treatment could also play a role in hardening alloys. When B=2 T the micro-hardness was 344.88 HV, which was increased by 8.09% compared to that without treatment. The micro-hardness was consistent with the change of the "point" of the dislocation density, which was characterized by dislocation strengthening.
