Microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-fine grained titanium alloys
Václavová, Kristína ; Stráský, Josef (advisor)
Title: Microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-fine grained titanium alloys Author: Bc. Kristína Václavová Department / Institute: Department of Physics of Materials Supervisor of the master thesis: PhDr. RNDr. Josef Stráský, Ph.D. Abstract: Metastable β-Ti alloys Ti-15Mo and Ti-6.8Mo-4.5Fe-1.5Al (TIMETAL LCB) were subjected to severe plastic deformation by high pressure torsion. Microhardness of Ti-15Mo and TIMETAL LCB alloys increases with increasing inserted deformation, i.e. with increasing number of HPT rotations and also with increasing distance from the centre of the sample. The highest microhardness after HPT exceeds significantly the microhardness of two-phase α + β heat-treated material. Increasingly deformed microstructure was also demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and by electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). Significant twinning was observed in both studied alloys. Mechanism of multiple twinning contributes notably to the fragmentation of grains and thus to the refinement of the microstructure. Defect structure in Ti-15Mo alloy was studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy. It was proved that dislocations are the only detectable defects in the material by positron annihilation spectroscopy and that dislocation density increases with the number of HPT revolution and...
Metastable alloy Ti-15Mo prepared by powder metallurgy
Veverková, Anna ; Bartha, Kristina (advisor) ; Chráska, Tomáš (referee)
This diploma thesis focused on manufacturing and characterization of Ti-15Mo metastable beta-Ti alloy prepared by cryogenic milling and spark plasma sintering. Initial powder was prepared by gas atomization and consequently deformed by cryogenic milling (milled powder). Both initial and milled powders were compacted by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at temperatures from 750 řC to 850 řC. Dependence of microstructure and mechanical properties on the parameters of preparation was studied. During cryo-milling, powder particles significantly changed shape from ball-shaped to disc-shaped. Particles were not refined by milling, but severely plastically deformed. SEM observations showed that all prepared samples contain duplex alpha + beta structure. Volume fraction of alpha phase is significantly higher in the sintered milled powder due to increased beta- transus temperature caused by contamination by oxygen and also due to easier alpha phase precipitation caused by refined microstructure. Maximum microhardness of 350 HV was achieved for both types of sintered powders. High microhardness of sintered initial powder can be attributed to formation of omega phase during cooling, while sintered milled powder is strengthened by refined microstructure and small alpha phase precipitates. Cryogenic milling prior to...
