Al-Cr-Nb-Ti-Zr共晶难熔高熵合金高温摩擦磨损性能研究

Investigation Tribological Properties of Al-Cr-Nb-Ti-Zr Eutectic Refractory High Entropy Alloy at High Temperature

  • 摘要: 通过非自耗真空电弧熔炼制备了Al15+xCr20Nb15Ti40−xZr10 (x = 0、13)共晶难熔高熵合金,并探究了Al和Ti元素含量变化对Al15+xCr20Nb15Ti40−xZr10共晶难熔高熵合金相结构、微观组织、显微硬度与高温摩擦性能的影响规律. 结果表明:2种合金相结构相同,均由富含Nb和Ti的B2相与富含Cr和Zr的C14 Laves相组成;但随着Al含量的增大,合金铸态组织发生了从亚共晶(初生B2相+B2/Laves相共晶相,x=0)到共晶(B2/Laves相共晶相,x=13)的转变,同时伴随着合金显微硬度的提高,并且在宽温域下的摩擦性能有所改善. 随着摩擦试验温度的升高,2种合金的磨损机制均从磨粒磨损逐渐转变为以氧化磨损为主,且磨损率均呈现出逐渐降低的趋势. 不同温度下摩擦试验发现完全共晶合金Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10表现出更好的耐磨性,这是由于完全共晶合金更高的硬度以及在高温下的氧化摩擦层含有更大比例的Al2O3,从而摩擦层更为致密.

     

    Abstract: Recently, a series of new refractory high entropy alloys with eutectic structure have been prepared by researchers through composition regulation, specifically the addition of elements such as Al and Cr. Refractory high entropy alloys produced by this new strategy exhibit superior structural stability and significantly improved resistance to high-temperature oxidation, as compared to their conventional counterparts. Besides, previous studies have reported that the tribological properties of high entropy alloys could be significantly enhanced by incorporating eutectic structures. Based on the above, the design strategy of these novel refractory high entropy alloys may offer a new approach to simultaneously address the problems of inadequate high temperature resistance to oxidation and wear in conventional refractory high entropy alloys. Therefore, it is necessary to further enrich the research on the high temperature wear behavior of these new refractory high entropy alloys. In this work, eutectic refractory high entropy alloy Al15+xCr20Nb15Ti40−xZr10 (x = 0,13) were prepared by vacuum arc-melting. The effects of Al and Ti elements content changes on the phase structure, microstructure, microhardness were studied by XRD, SEM, EDS and nanoindentation. The high-temperature tribological properties of the eutectic refractory high entropy alloys Al15+xCr20Nb15Ti40−xZr10 were investigated by ball-on-disk machine, 3D optical microscope, XPS and SEM. Based on the SEM and EDS results, these two alloys had the same phase structure and were composed of B2 phase rich in Nb and Ti and C14 Laves phase rich in Cr and Zr. SEM results showed that with the increase of Al content, the as-cast microstructure of the alloy underwent a transition from hypoeutectic (primary B2 phase+B2/Laves eutectic phase, x = 0) to eutectic (B2/Laves eutectic phase, x = 13), accompanied by the increase of the microhardness, the microhardness of Al15Cr20Nb15Ti40Zr10alloy was 558 HV and Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10alloy was 713 HV. One contributing factor to the increase in microhardness was the significant difference in atomic radius between Al atom and other refractory metal elements in the alloy (Ti, Zr, Nb, Cr), leading to pronounced lattice distortion in both the B2 phase and Laves phase, and a higher proportion of Al atoms in Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 resulted in more serious lattice distortion effect. On the other hand, the relatively uniform and complete layered B2/Laves eutectic phase of Al28Ti27 could undergo cooperative plastic deformation under external stress, resulting in higher microhardness. As the wear test temperature increased, the wear mechanism of both alloys gradually changed from abrasive wear to oxidation wear, and the wear rate showed a gradually decreasing trend. Wear tests at different temperatures found that the fully eutectic alloy Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 exhibited superior wear resistance. Compared to the tribological properties at different temperatures of the two alloys, the wear rate of Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 alloy decreased by 75% at room temperature compared to Al15Cr20Nb15Ti40Zr10. This was attributed to the higher hardness of the fully eutectic alloy, resulting in better load-bearing capacity. When the temperature rised to 600 ℃, the wear rate of Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 was (3.408±1.314)×10−5 mm3/(N·m), which was half of the wear rate of Al15Cr20Nb15Ti40Zr10, indicating that Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 had better wear resistance in a wide temperature range below 600 ℃. At high temperatures, Al28Cr20Nb15Ti27Zr10 possessed higher proportion of Al2O3 in the oxidized tribo-layer at high temperatures that resulted in a denser tribo-layer, which was conducive to improving the wear resistance of the alloy.
