摘要
Ternary Ti-30.7wt%Al-xC alloys were prepared with different carbon content (x = 0.2,0.4.0.8, 1.2. 1.6. and 2.0 wt %) by vacuum arc melting in order to improve the strength and ductility. Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of alloys were experimentally and statistically studied, especially the carbide formation mechanism. The results show that Ti2AlC phase appears when carbon content is >0.4%, and its volume fraction increases with increasing carbon content. Lamellar colony size, lamellar space and length-diameter of Ti2AlC phase decrease with increasing carbon. Carbon has the certain solid solubility in matrix. Carbides form when addition of carbon content is over the solid solubility limit. Ti2AlC acts as heterogeneous nucleation particles and carbon decreases the rate of lateral thickening of gamma lamellae plates, which are the reasons for refining microstructure. High-melting-point TiC particles act as nucleation particles to form Ti2AlC and refine the Ti2AlC with more TiC content. Tensile strength increases 1.6 times at 750 degrees C. with increasing carbon content. Tensile strength increases 1.5 times from 750 degrees C to 850 degrees C with 0.8% carbon and the maximum strain is 3.7%. Precipitation strengthening of Ti2AlC particles and grain boundary strengthening are mainly mechanisms to improve mechanical properties. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
