Technical field
The invention belongs to through mechanical workout and prepare the high-performance metal materials technical field; Be a kind of on the basis of friction stir welding, the cooperation to reverse extruding (the extrusion axis direction is a welding direction); Material is carried out violent plastic making, and preparation does not have the micro-nano block materials of standard in cavity and slit.
Background technology
Nanotechnology is the emerging technology that begins to develop the beginning of the nineties in last century, mainly is to explore between grand microcosmic but more approach the characteristics of motion and the interaction relationship thereof of the nanoscale substance system of microcosmic.Owing to its huge pushing effect to science and technology such as information science, life science and Materials science receives the great attention of countries in the world and is able to fast development, all be used widely in fields such as material, information, the energy, environment, life and military affairs at present.
The metal nano polycrystal is the crossing research field of nanomaterial science and nanomechanics, mainly studies various organization mechanics performances, characteristic and the rule of the metal polycrystal between grain-size 1~100nm, is the important component part of modern nanotechnology.Because the atomicity that the nano-multicrystal body comprises is between 10
2~10
7Between; Various microcosmic thermokinetics statistical shortcomings such as room, gap substitutional atom, dislocation fault no longer have the macroscopic statistics rule; The material microdefect of crystals significantly reduces; Part crystal even approach perfect crystal shows high strength of materials characteristic, and wherein the increase rate of elastic stiffness and plastic strength can reach 1000%.Obviously, if can prepare the Ti alloy with high performance block materials through the method for nanometer then for promoting titanium alloy as structural timber, especially the application of advanced configuration such as Aeronautics and Astronautics, plate armour material is with significant.
But the preparation method of metal current nano-multicrystal body still is in the exploratory stage, and commonly used have methods such as original position generation, powder metallurgy, amorphous crystallization, galvanic deposit, solidification Control and violent plastic making.Compare with preparation method based on physical and chemical process; (Severe Plastic Deformation, SPD) the nano-multicrystal body of preparation has that dense structure, pore-free crack and interface are weak to connect, be difficult for introducing impurity, Interface Microstructure cleaning and do not have advantage such as particle agglomeration in violent plastic making.But compare with the bulk nanometer of nano particle cured and prepared; There is nanocrystalline size in the bulk nanometer of at present violent plastic making preparation, and bigger than normal (problems such as (the macro-mechanical property increase rate are merely 100%~120%) that there is saturation value in nanocrystalline diameter in 200nm~300nm), the repeated deformation process, the reinforcement amplitude is on the low side can't be given full play to nanocrystalline height and strengthen characteristic.
The major cause that causes these phenomenons is that shear-stress violent in the deformation process is when causing that crystal grain along shear direction violent relatively sliding takes place; The intracrystalline microplasticity behavior of shear surface two layers of material can't be coordinated interatomic bond and close rebuilding of relation; Grain refining shows as cuts off the type refinement, and forming a large amount of is the microdefect of representative with tiny crack micropore hole.Especially for strengthening phase disperse distribution and strengthening element atomic radius and the bigger solid solution strengthened alloy of matrix atomic radius difference, growth of the forming core of its microdefect and distribution show more extensively and rapid.Be main owing to violent plastic making prepares nanocrystal with shearing strain in addition; Distorted area material hydrostaticpressure is almost nil; The caused microdefect of violent shearing can't obtain closed timely and repair; Causing through squeezing with isometrical angle is that the macro-mechanical property of micro-nano polycrystalline material of violent viscous deformation preparation of representative does not only significantly improve sometimes, even also can be lower than coarse-grain, has had a strong impact on its application as structured material.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed at present violent plastic making prepares micro-nano polycrystal and exists nanocrystalline diameter saturated and the reinforcement amplitude is on the low side; Can't give full play to the nanocrystalline high problem of strengthening characteristic, with the titanium of the extensive aerospace field of quilt, aluminum is main object; Provided a kind of novel method of welding extruding compound preparation engineering structure with the micro-nano titanium alloy block materials of high quality; It is simple to have technology, is convenient to realize, is fit to the micro-nano multicrystal characteristics of the multiple metallic substance of preparation.
The present invention includes friction stir welding and violent plastic making extruding twice basic working procedure, all can on traditional welding and extrusion equipment, accomplish, need not the extras investment, be fit to very much the technology upgrading and the transformation of medium-sized and small enterprises.
The present invention mainly comprises following content:
The first step: friction Stir and blanking.Can carry out friction stir welding through the agitating friction soldering equipment, or directly buy with friction stir welding welding metal alloy (titanium, aluminium etc.) later and cut, keep weld seam as reversing the violent plastic making of extruding blank section bar to be extruded.
Second step: reverse extruding violent plastic making (like Fig. 1).Alloy billet that will blanking obtains after friction Stir places and reverses the extruding container, cooperates through corresponding extrusion equipment and reverses extrusion mould and reverse the violent viscous deformation of extruding.Rely in the extrusion process with the extrusion axis is that the vertical deformation of violent rotational symmetry shearing strain and friction stir welding metal flow direction at center concerns; Under the condition that does not change the blank cross-sectional geometry, become to making alloy grain that violent intersection torsional deformation takes place, form refinement alloy grain.
The 3rd step: sampling analysis, Mechanics Performance Testing and microstructure observation.Carry out microscopic analysis for reversing the material that obtains after the crimp, confirm the variation of grain-size and macroscopical mechanical property, determine whether to satisfy that design will be gone or needs further do not reverse crimp.
Principle of work of the present invention: in friction stir weld; Because stirring-head has applied bigger positive pressure to deformable material in rotation; Being similar to is high pressure torsion distortion (see figure 2), and therefore through the welding of friction stir welding, the commissure material has experienced drastic deformation one time; Crystal grain obtains preliminary refinement, and especially the weld seam bottom is tiny equi-axed crystal.On this basis; Consider to lead the friction stir welding metal with the rotational symmetry metal flow characteristic that vertical sheet material direction is an axle, getting near the material of weld seam is the crimp blank, is that the direction of extrusion is reversed the violent plastic making of extruding with the welding direction; Because the direction of extrusion of crimp direction and FW is orthogonal; Utilize the complementary crystal grain thinning of two kinds of deformable metal mobile, improve tissue, the micro-nano polycrystal block of preparation high quality.
