Microstructure of Ti-Based Alloys after Rapid Solidification

Abstract:

Ti-6Al-4V alloy ribbons were successfully prepared by rapid solidification at different roller speeds. The morphology and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ribbons were studied by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and energy spectrum analysis. The effect of SiO₂ on the microstructure and properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ribbons were discussed. It is found that the Ti-6Al-4V alloy ribbons consist of β phase with alternated distribution of α' phase and α'' phase. And quicker roller speed promotes the formation of α' phase for the higher rapid solidificationg cooling rate. According to the analysis of energy spectrum data, it is found that there is chemical reactions between the Ti-6Al-4V material and the quartz tube wall during electromagnetic induction melting at high temperature, and the Si elements are segregated at the embossment induced by quick solidification and the phase interfaces between α′ phase and β phase.
