Effect of Primary α Phase Content on Creep Property of High Temperature Titanium Alloy

Abstract:

The effect of the primary α content and precipitate on the creep resistance of a high-temperature titanium alloy with a small amount of Hf addition were studied. The microstructures with different primary α contents were prepared by the heat treatment of 920~1010 °C /1 h+700 °C/5 h, and the creep test (600 °C/150 MPa/100 h) was carried out. The interaction between the precipitation phase and the dislocation configuration was analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of solution temperature, the volume fraction of primary α phase decreased from 44.9% at 920 °C to 0% at 1010 °C, and the steady state creep rate of the alloy decreased from 60.60×10^-4%/h to 3.72×10^-4%/h, indicating that the creep property was significantly improved with the decrease of solution temperature. The basket structure with optimal creep resistance was obtained under the heat treatment of 1010 °C/1 h+700 °C/5 h. It is believed that during the high temperature creep test, the precipitated α₂ phase and the hafnium-containing silicide hinder the dislocation motion in α crystal and the phase boundary, thereby improving the creep resistance of the alloy.
