    查看更多>>摘要:Interface stability homogeneity control remains a challenging problem in large-scale laser-melting-deposited ti-tanium(LLMDT)alloy components for aerospace applications.In this study,the homogeneity of the interface stability of LLMDT components after post heat treatment was investigated.Recrystallized grains nucleated and grew in the equiaxed and columnar grain regions in the LLMDT part,whereas they did not form in the interface re-gion because the recrystallization driving force in the interface region was lower than that in the LLMDT part.The microstructures of the LLMDT components showed coarsened α lamellae,and their width varied from 1.65 μm to 2.18 μm.The α lamellae did not completely coarsen during post heat treatment(950 ℃/1 h/air cooling+550 ℃/4 h/air cooling)because of the low coarsening driving force.For the LLMDT components,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and yield strength(YS)were slightly different in different regions owing to the slight difference in the width of the α lamellae.The elongation(EL)of the LLMDT components exhibited no difference,and there was nearly zero anisotropic ductility.The highest fluctuation ratios of the UTS,YS,and EL were 3.11%,3.8%,and 7.18%,respectively.The tensile properties of the LLMDT components showed no difference in the different regions,indicating interface stability homogeneity.

    查看更多>>摘要:Conventional cast Al-Ce alloys are challenged by the increasing demand for improved mechanical properties.To address this issue,in this study,wire-arc directed energy deposition(WA-DED)is employed for the fabrication of Al-15Ce-3Mg(wt%)alloy components.We aimed to tune the microstructure and mechanical properties via the inherent sub-rapid-solidification effect of WA-DED.In addition to significant microstructure refinement,a decrease in arc heat input leads to a larger cooling rate,up to 346 ℃/s,and triggers the transition from hyper-eutectic to near-eutectic a-Al/Al11Ce3 microstructures with the suppression of primary Al11Ce3 intermetallics.Such microstructural modification improves the mechanical properties,resulting in higher yield and ultimate tensile strengths than those of the as-cast counterpart alloy.The fracture process involves the formation of dim-ples around Al11Ce3,cracking of large Al11Ce3 particles,and growth,merging,and fracture of pores.The strength increment is mainly contributed by particle-size strengthening mediated by microstructure refinement as well as the targeted formation of near-eutectic α-Al/Al11Ce3 microstructures.

    查看更多>>摘要:Ni-Cr-Co-W superalloy(GH4099)can be used to manufacture high-temperature structural components of aero-engine combustion chambers for long-term service below 900 ℃.This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the GH4099 superalloy fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)technique,focusing on the opti-mization of processing parameters and a systematic investigation of the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the as-deposited and heat-treated samples.An optimal parameter combination was established using the response surface method(RSM)design and the variance method.The as-deposited GH4099 alloy is primarily composed of columnar crystals grown epitaxially and M23C6 carbides without the generation of the γ'-phase.After solution treatment,recrystallization and grain growth occurred,with the alloy remaining as large,irregu-larly shaped polygonal columnar crystals.The aging process precipitated substantial γ'-phase,which internally existed as a mixture of equiaxed and columnar crystals.LPBF-GH4099 superalloy exhibited a maximum room-temperature tensile strength of 1137.80 MPa and a high-temperature tensile strength of 780 MPa at 800 ℃.Various strengthening mechanisms were observed in the as-deposited and heat-treated samples.The most sig-nificant grain boundary strengthening effect was observed in the deposit state,while solution strengthening was primarily due to the segregation of elements,such as Mo,W,and Cr,in the γ matrix.Precipitation strengthening,predominantly due to the γ'-phase,emerged as the main strengthening mechanism for the GH4099 superalloy post-aging treatment.This study presents significant insights into the LPBF-GH4099 alloy and provides a solid foundation for future studies and practical applications in this field.
