快速凝固钛–铁共晶合金非平衡亚稳相的形成研究

摘要: Ti–Fe合金在航空航天、海洋工程及能源工业等关键领域具有不可或缺的应用价值。为探究快速凝固对Ti–Fe合金相形成与微观组织演变的影响机制,本研究针对典型Ti70.5Fe29.5共晶合金开展了不同冷却速率下的熔体旋铸实验。实验结果表明,快凝薄带呈现独特的三层组织结构:贴辊侧为薄层非晶-纳米晶混合层,自由侧为纳米晶层,中间夹有完全非晶态层。这种微观结构明显区别于慢冷共晶合金中观察到的常规耦合共晶组织。特别值得注意的是,随辊速增加非晶层厚度增大且出现Fe元素富集现象,这表明溶质偏析对非晶形成能力具有调控作用——这种效应在块体金属玻璃形成过程中较为罕见。此外,除通过离异共晶生长机制形成的β-Ti和B2-TiFe相外,在纳米晶层中还观测到非预期的Ti4Fe2O相。分析表明,快速凝固过程与适度的氧掺杂/污染是促进非晶相及亚稳Ti4Fe2O相形成的关键因素。本研究深化了对Ti–Fe合金在强非平衡条件下相选择机制与微观组织演变规律的认识,为采用快速凝固技术制备Ti–Fe基合金提供了重要理论指导。

 

Formation of non-equilibrium metastable phases in rapidly solidified Ti–Fe eutectic alloy

Abstract: Ti–Fe alloys are indispensable for crucial applications in the aerospace, marine, and energy industries. To understand the effect of rapid solidification on phase formation and microstructural evolution in Ti–Fe alloys, melt spinning of a typical Ti70.5Fe29.5 eutectic alloy at different cooling rates was investigated in this study. The experimental results show that the melt-spun ribbons exhibit unique three-layered microstructure consisting of thin amorphous–nanocrystalline (Am–NC) hybrid layer on the chilled side and NC layer on the free side, which sandwich a fully Am middle layer. This microstructure is distinctly different from conventional eutectic-coupled microstructures observed in slow-cooled eutectic alloys. In particular, increasing the wheel speed resulted in a thicker Am layer and Fe enrichment, indicating the effect of solute segregation on the glass-forming ability, which is rarely seen in the formation of bulk metallic glasses. In addition, an unexpected Ti4Fe2O phase is observed in the NC layer in addition to β-Ti and B2-TiFe phases formed via a divorced eutectic growth mechanism. The analysis indicated that rapid solidification and moderate oxygen doping/contamination are essential for promoting the formation of amorphous and metastable Ti4Fe2O phases. This study contributes to a better understanding of the phase-selection mechanism and microstructural evolution in Ti–Fe alloys under far-from-equilibrium conditions, providing useful implications for the fabrication of Ti–Fe-based alloys using rapid-solidification techniques.
