异质析出诱导细晶FeCrNi基中熵合金优异的中温强塑性协同效应

摘要: Fe–Cr–Ni奥氏体合金广泛应用于核轻水反应堆热端部件、涡轮盘和气体压缩机等领域,但高温下强度较低限制了其工程应用。本研究通过向FeCrNi等原子合金中引入Al和Si元素,开发出一种新型沉淀强化合金体系。研究结果表明,FeCrNiAlxSix(原子分数,x = 0.1,0.2)合金具有异质沉淀结构,在晶界处存在微米级σ相,晶内存在纳米尺度的有序体心立方结构(B2)相。FeCrNiAl0.1Si0.1合金由于晶粒细化和沉淀强化,在宽温度范围内实现了优异的强塑性协同。值得注意的是,在873 K时,该合金的屈服强度达到693.83 MPa,抗拉强度达到817.55 MPa,均匀伸长率为18.27%。在低温和室温下,B2相的位错剪切机制、σ相的Orowan绕过机制,以及基体中高密度的纳米孪晶和层错,共同促成了合金优异的力学性能。此外,在中温下,基体中锯齿状σ相和微孪晶的出现对强化和增韧机制起着关键作用。本研究为开发在宽温度范围内具有优异强塑性协同的沉淀硬化型Fe–Cr–Ni奥氏体合金提供了新的视角和策略。

 

Achieving the excellent intermediate-temperature strength–ductility synergy in a fine-grained FeCrNi-based medium entropy alloy with heterogeneous precipitation

Abstract: Fe–Cr–Ni austenitic alloys are extensively utilized in the hot-end components of nuclear light water reactors, turbine disks, and gas compressors. However, their low strength at elevated temperatures limits their engineering applications. In this study, a novel precipitation-strengthened alloy system is developed by incorporating Al and Si elements into a FeCrNi equiatomic alloy. The results indicate that the FeCrNiAlxSix (at%, x = 0.1, 0.2) alloys possess heterogeneous precipitation structures that feature a micron-scale σ phase at the grain boundaries and a nanoscale ordered body-centered cube (B2) phase within the grains. An exceptional strength–ductility synergy across a wide temperature range is achieved in FeCrNiAl0.1Si0.1 alloys due to grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. Notably, a yield strength of 693.83 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength of 817.55 MPa, and a uniform elongation of 18.27% are attained at 873 K. The dislocation shearing mechanism for B2 phases and the Orowan bypass mechanism for σ phase, coupled with a high density of nano-twins and stacking faults in the matrix, contribute to the excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic and ambient temperatures. Moreover, the emergence of serrated σ phase and micro-twins in the matrix plays a crucial role in the strengthening and toughening mechanisms at intermediate temperatures. This study offers a novel perspective and strategy for the development of precipitation-hardened Fe–Cr–Ni austenitic alloys with exceptional strength–ductility synergy over a broad temperature range.
