Y对WTaCrVTi高熵合金的组织结构与力学性能的影响

Effect of Y on the microstructure and mechanical properties of WTaCrVTi high-entropy alloys

  • 摘要: WTaCrVTi高熵合金具有良好的力学性能和抗辐照性能,且各组元具有低中子活化特性,可用于核聚变堆的中子辐照环境中,因此,该合金在核聚变堆中具有潜在的应用前景。但该合金在制备过程中易发生元素偏析和富集,造成组织结构不均匀,为了提高组织结构的均匀性,采用机械合金化法结合放电等离子体烧结技术制备了WTaCrVTi6Yx高熵合金,研究了Y对合金的组织结构和力学性能的影响。结果表明:未添加Y的合金包含固溶体、TiO、Laves相和富Ta相。具有BCC结构的固溶体为基体,其中W、Ta、Cr、V的原子比趋于等原子比;TiO颗粒的平均尺寸为1.08±0.38 μm,均匀分布在基体中;Laves相和富Ta相零星分布在基体中。而添加了6 at% Y的合金主要包含BCC结构的固溶体和Y2O3颗粒,Y2O3颗粒的平均尺寸约为1.25±0.85 μm,固溶体的W、Ta、Cr、V的原子比趋于1,该合金的室温压缩屈服强度和硬度达到分别为2674 MPa和848.6±9.3 HV。

     

    Abstract: WTaCrVTi high entropy alloys have excellent mechanical properties and irradiation resistance, and the individual components have low neutron activity, which can be used in the neutron irradiation environment of nuclear fusion reactors. Thus, they have potential applications in nuclear fusion reactors. However, elemental segregation and enrichment exist in the alloys during the preparation process, resulting in an inhomogeneous microstructure. In order to improve the homogeneity of the microstructures, mechanical alloying combined with spark plasma sintering was adopted to prepare WTaCrVTi6Yx high entropy alloys. The effects of Y content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys were explored. It is found that the alloys without Y addition include the solid solution, TiO particles, laves phases and Ta-rich phases. The solid solution with BCC structure is the matrix, and the atomic ratios of W, Ta, Cr and V are close to be equal. The TiO particles are uniformly distributed in the matrix with an average particle size of 1.08±0.38 μm. The laves and the Ta-rich phases are sporadically distributed in the matrix. While, the alloys with the addition of 6 at% Y is mainly composed of the solid solution with BCC structure and Y2O3 particles. The average size of Y2O3 particles is about 1.25 ± 0.85 μm. And the atomic ratios of W, Ta, Cr, and V in the BCC phase tend to be 1. The room-temperature compressive yield strength and hardness of this alloy reach 2674 MPa and 848.6 ± 9.3 HV, respectively.
