Microstructure and Properties of As-Cast Co-28Cr Alloy with Aging Treatment AITranslate
Abstract AITranslate
Co-28Cr alloy has the prospect of application in the jewelry field due to its high strength,wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and biocompatibility,and has similar luster appearance to gold,silver,and platinum precious metal. The ring cast with Co-28Cr alloy are often broken at the ring grip,due to its high volume fraction of the hcp phase,which make the alloy have a high microhardness,strength,and insufficient toughness. In this work,the as-cast Co-28Cr alloy was selected as the research object. In order to obtain high toughness,the fcc stable elements Mn,Ti,Fe,and C were added to make the alloy have a high volume fraction of the fcc phase. The solution treatment process of 1250 ℃/4 h water cooling (WC) and the aging treatment process of 600~700 ℃/1 h WC were adopted. The microstructure of the tensile surface of the alloy after different aging treatment and three-point bending was observed by AxioVert. A1 optical microscope (OM). The phase and strain distributions of the samples with different aging treatments were analyzed by SYMMETRY electron backscatter diffractometer (EBSD). The effects of aging temperature on microstructure,mechanical properties and fracture morphology of as-cast Co-28Cr alloy were studied by room temperature three point bending test and microhardness test with WDW-50 universal testing machine and HV-1000 digital hardness tester. The results showed that the microstructure of the as-cast Co-28Cr alloy consisted of fcc phase,hcp phase,and a small amount of Cr23C6 and TiN. After solid solution treatment,there was basically no dendritic structures in Co-28Cr alloy,and Cr23C6 changed from strip to sphere. During aging treatment at 600 or 650 ℃,the isothermal martensite was formed on the stacking fault and the athermal martensite of thick was formed on the grain boundary. It could be seen from the EBSD micrographs that the volume fraction of hcp phase increased gradually from 13% to 26% with the increase of aging temperature. The volume fraction of hcp phase in 700 ℃/1 h WC sample was twice as much as that in 600 C/1 h WC sample. When the aging temperature was 600 or 700 ℃,the width of hcp phase laths was fine and the quantity was large. When the aging temperature was 650 ℃,the width of hcp phase laths was thicker and the quantity was less. In the process of martensite transformation,isothermal martensite required greater driving force and internal strain than that of athermal martensite,therefore,the local average misorientation (LAM) value of isothermal martensite was higher than that of athermal martensite. With the increase of aging temperature,the microhardness and bending strength of the alloy increased,because with the increase of the volume fraction of hcp phase,the strength of the alloy increased. When the aging temperature was 650 ℃,the bending angle of the alloy was the largest,mainly due to the finer the laths of hcp phase and strong bending resistance. After the three-point bending test,strain-induced martensite transformation (SIMT) from fcc phase to hcp phase occurred,which was the main deformation mechanism. When the aging temperature was 650 ℃,the angle between the strain-induced martensite laths was 90° and the average width of laths was 16.5 μm,therefore,the bending property of the alloy was better. When the aging temperature was 600 or 700 ℃,the angle of strain-induced martensite laths were smaller and the average width of laths were finer,the bending property of the alloy was worse. The results showed that the best matching heat treatment system for strength and toughness of as-cast Co-28Cr alloy for ring was (1250 ℃/4 h WC)+(650 ℃/1 h WC).
