中文摘要

Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr(TNTZ)具有高比强度、低杨氏模量（接近人体骨组织，约60 GPa）、良好的生物相容性等，有望用于骨科修复、人工假体替换等。然而固溶态TNTZ钛合金的力学性能逊色于Ti–6Al–4V合金。时效处理可提高TNTZ钛合金的强度、但其塑韧性受损，危及医用服役安全。迄今时效α相对TNTZ钛合金断裂行为的影响仍处空白。本文旨在揭示时效α相对合金断裂行为的影响规律及作用机理，为合金的安全服役提供理论依据。为此，本文通过时效处理调控α相的尺寸、形态、分布、含量等特征，通过显微组织观察、断裂韧性测试、断口形貌观察研究了α相特征参量与合金断裂行为及断裂韧性的关系。结果表明，723 K时效，随时间延长，合金断裂韧性先降低后升高；4–8 h降至最低值72.07–73.19 kJ·m⁻²；72 h升至最高值144.89 kJ·m⁻²。时效4–8 h，断裂韧性较低的原因是：大长径比的针状α相尖端应力集中程度高，易于形成微裂纹；网格上呈“V形”或“近似垂直”排列的α相促进裂纹沿α/β相界面优先扩张，使裂尖难以均匀钝化、偏转，裂纹扩张阻力下降。8–72 h，断裂韧性回升的原因是：α相长径比减小，应力集中程度降低；网格上α相长轴方向的种类逐渐增多，呈“三棱锥”排列的α相对裂纹扩张的阻碍增加，使裂尖均匀钝化；α相分布渐趋均匀、数量增多，使裂尖钝化、偏转增加。时效α相对合金断裂行为影响的分析表明，723 K时效态合金的断裂行为主要由网格上α相长轴不同取向的数量控制。

Abstract

Abstract

The role of α precipitates formed during aging in the fracture toughness and fracture behavior of β-type bio-titanium alloy Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr (TNTZ) was studied. Results showed that the fracture toughness of the TNTZ alloy aged at 723 K decreases to the minimum of 72.07–73.19 kJ·m⁻² when the aging time is extended to 4–8 h and then gradually increases and reaches 144.89 kJ·m⁻² after 72 h. The decrease in fracture toughness within the aging time of 4–8 h is caused by the large stress concentration at the tip of acicular α precipitates with a high aspect ratio and the preferential crack propagation along the inhomogeneous acicular α precipitates distributed in “V-shape” and “nearly perpendicular shape”. When the aging time is extended to 8–72 h, the precrack tip is uniformly blunted, and the crack is effectively deflected by α precipitates with multi long axis directions, more high homogeneity, low aspect ratio, and large number density. Analysis of the effect of α precipitates on the fracture behavior suggested that the number of long axis directions of α precipitates is the key controlling factor for the fracture behavior and fracture toughness of the TNTZ alloy aged for different times.
