  • 摘要: TNM(Ti–43Al–4Nb–1Mo–0.1B)钛铝合金具有较低的密度、优异的高温力学性能和较好的高温变形能力,其长期服役温度可达750 ℃左右,是备受瞩目的新一代航空发动机低压涡轮叶片用材料. 选取热暴露温度时间不同的两个热暴露条件对TNM合金在空气中进行氧化实验,采用扫描电子显微镜、能谱仪及X射线光电子能谱分析仪对试样的表面形貌、氧化物组成进行分析,系统研究了TNM合金在不同温度、不同时间热暴露条件下的氧化规律. 结果表明,在700 ℃和760 ℃下,TNM合金抗氧化级别分别为完全抗氧化和抗氧化等级. 700 ℃下,TNM合金在氧化初期先生成TiO2,随后Al2O3逐渐增加,直至覆盖整个样品,在氧化进行200 h时,表面生成的氧化物主要为Al2O3,含有少量的MoO2、MoO3,能保持较好的抗氧化性;760 ℃条件下,合金在氧化初期即形成不稳定的Al的氧化物与Ti的氧化物,表面生成的氧化物主要为TiO2和少量的MoO2、MoO3与MoOx的氧化物.

     

    Abstract: TNM(Ti–43Al–4Nb–1Mo–0.1B) titanium aluminum alloy has low density, excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures, and good deformation ability at high temperatures and is applied as a new-generation aeroengine low-pressure turbine blade material. Its long-term service temperature can reach approximately 750 ℃. In this paper, a TiAl alloy with a nominal composition of Ti–43Al–4Nb–1Mo–0.1B (atom fraction, %) was prepared using the vacuum induction levitation melting method. Oxygenation samples with dimensions of 10 mm×10 mm×5 mm were fabricated using electrical discharge wire cutting. After sandpaper polishing, the surface of the samples was selected for oxidation testing in air at two different temperatures of 700 ℃ and 760 ℃ for nine oxidation time points of 1–200 h using a muffle furnace. A systematic investigation was performed on the oxidation behavior of the TNM alloy at different temperatures and time exposures by characterizing its surface morphology and surface and cross-sectional oxide composition using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results revealed that at 700 ℃ and 760 ℃, the TNM alloy displays complete oxidation resistance and antioxidation levels and the weight gain rate of the sample at 760 ℃ is 0.1956 g·m−2·h−1, which is much higher than that at 700 ℃. At 700 ℃, the TNM alloy initially forms TiO2 during the early stage of oxidation, followed by a gradual increase in Al2O3 until it covers the entire sample. After 200 h of oxidation, the predominant surface oxides on the alloy were Al2O3 with small amounts of MoO2 and MoO3, which exhibited excellent oxidation resistance. At 760 ℃, the alloy forms unstable oxide compounds of Al and Ti during the initial stage of oxidation, and the growth rate of TiO2 is faster, destroying the continuous and dense Al2O3 layer on the surface and making the matrix more easily oxidized. After 200 h of oxidation, the predominant oxide on the surface is mainly TiO2 with small amounts of MoO2, MoO3, and other molybdenum oxides, with the oxidized surface of the TNM alloy exhibiting a typical multilayer structure of a TiO2 layer (outermost layer) + an Al2O3 layer + a mixed layer (consisting of Ti, O, Nb, Mo) + substrate. Furthermore, the thickness of the oxide layer is significantly greater at 760 ℃ than at 700 ℃.
