Microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Al-V-Zr cast alloys with different Zr contents based on Ti-6Al-4V cluster formula

Aiming at improving the strength-plasticity match in the as-cast state of the most widely used Ti-6Al-4V the present work designs Ti-Al-V-Zr alloys on the basis of the dual-cluster formula of Ti-6Al-4V, α-{[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)}12 +β-{[Al-Ti14](V2Ti)}5: first, the alloys are more biased towards α-Ti by d...

description Aiming at improving the strength-plasticity match in the as-cast state of the most widely used Ti-6Al-4V the present work designs Ti-Al-V-Zr alloys on the basis of the dual-cluster formula of Ti-6Al-4V, α-{[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)}12 +β-{[Al-Ti14](V2Ti)}5: first, the alloys are more biased towards α-Ti by decreasing the number of β unit to 2, then, the stability of β-Ti is improved by increasing the number of V atoms in β unit to 3, and finally, Zr (x=1-5) replaces Ti in the β unit. Finally α-{[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)}15-β-{[AlTi14-xZrx]V3)}2 is obtained, Ti-(6.64-6.82)Al-(2.42-2.35)V-(1.44-7.02)Zr (mass fraction,%) alloy is designed. The alloy ingots are prepared by melting in a non-consuming vacuum are furnace, and the alloy bars are suction-cast in copper mould. The results show that the alloys are all in α' martensite structure, showing morphologies changing from acicular Widmannstatten structure at lower Zr contents to net-basket structure at higher Zr contents. Among the designed alloys, Ti-6.64Al-2.35V-7.02Zr (x=5) with a net-basket structure, has the best mechanical properties: yield strength of 806 MPa, tensile strength of 963 MPa, and elongation of 5.9%, which are respectively 23%, 19% and 51% higher than those of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under the same preparation condition. In particular, the specific strength and specific hardness are 217kN•m/kg and 0.71 GPa•cm3/g, which are 18% and 10% higher than Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
