Abstract
This study focuses on the effect of a plasma nitriding (PN) process on the thermal stability of nanocrystalline on the surface of Ti-6Al-4 V (Ti64) titanium alloy, which is printed by selective laser melting (SLM) and subsequently treated by laser shock peening (LSP). The microstructure evolution of SLM-Ti64 titanium alloy treated sequentially by LSP and PN at different annealing temperatures was observed by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope. The results show that the average size of SLM-Ti64 alloy treated by LSP is 49.7 nm, even at 600 °C nanocrystals maintain thermal stability, which is attributed to the strong hinder effect of high-density dislocations on grain boundary migration. The microstructural characterization indicates that the nitrided layer is mainly composed of nanostructured TiN phase by PN at 600 °C, and the thermal stability of nanocrystals was further increased to 700 °C compared without nitriding, which is attributed to dispersed nanoscale TiN precipitates hindering the migration of grain boundaries by Zener pinning effect. Our work provides a method of preventing nanocrystalline coarsening in Ti64 alloy by PN.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
