研究目的
Investigating the tensile deformation behaviors and fracture mechanisms of laser-welded Ti-22Al-24.5Nb-0.5Mo alloy joints compared to the base metal at room temperature and 650 °C.
研究成果
The microstructure of laser-welded joints was fully B2 phase, significantly affecting deformation behaviors compared to the base metal. Microcracks in the base metal initiated within the a2 phase and on the B2/a2 phase interface at room temperature. The welded joints exhibited single-slip, cross-slip, and multi-slip zones at room temperature, with transgranular cleavage fracture. At 650 °C, microcracks in the base metal nucleated on the B2/a2 phase interface, while welded joints fractured along grain boundaries with less internal slip.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fusion zone due to the fracture of laser-welded joints occurring at this area. The low loading force of in situ tensile testing machine required specimens to be preset with a notch, which may affect the natural crack propagation.
