The high temperature creep behavior of fusion zone(FZ) and base metal(BM) of the electron beam weldments of a near-alpha titanium alloy Ti-60 has been investigated.While the BM shows a fully transformed,coarse primary β grains with large colonies consisting of aligned α lamellar,the FZ exhibits thin martensitic α platelets in the columnar β grains.The creep results show that the steady state creep rates of FZ follow the power-law creep,with the stress exponents obtained in the range from 5.6(550°C) to 5.9(600°C),and corrected activation energies of 309-352 kJ/mol;the stress exponents of BM exhibit different values when the creep testing stress and temperature alternate.The values of 2.4-3.2 are obtained when the stresses are under 220 MPa or the temperature is 550°C,also an exponent of 6.6 is achieved at stresses above 220 MPa at 600°C.The corrected activation energies of BM corresponding to the stress exponents are 123-161 kJ/mol(n=2.4-3.2) and 344 kJ/mol(n=6.6).The creep mechanisms of FZ and BM have been discussed in light of the creep microstructures,activation energies and the stress exponents.The creep mechanisms of FZ is the diffusion controlled dislocation climb,the creep of BM is controlled by ’solute drag’ creep and dislocation climb when the stress and temperature are different.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) observations of the dislocation structures of crept specimens are presented to give some supports for the creep behavior of FZ and BM.In addition to the creep mechanism of dislocation movement,the interface sliding has been found to play an important role during creep of FZ.
The high temperature creep behavior of fusion zone (FZ) and base metal (BM) of the electron beam weldments of a near-alpha titanium alloy Ti-60 has been investigated. Whilst the BM shows a fully transformed, coarse primary beta grains with large colonies consisting of aligned α lamellar, the FZ exhibits thin-plate martensitic α platelets in the columnar β-grains. The creep results show that the steady state creep rates of FZ follow the power-law creep, with the stress exponents obtained in the range from 5.6 ( 550 ° C) to 5.9 (600 ° C), and corrected activation energies of 309-352 kJ / mol; the stress exponents of BM exhibit different values when the creep testing stress and temperature alternate. These values of 2.4-3.2 are obtained when the stresses are under 220 MPa or the temperature is 550 ° C, also an exponent of 6.6 is achieved at at least 220 MPa at 600 ° C. The corrected activation energies of BM corresponding to the stress exponents are 123-161 kJ / mol ( n = 2.4-3.2) and 344 kJ / mol (n = 6.6) .The creep mech anisms of FZ and BM have been discussed in light of the creep microstructures, activation energies and the stress exponents. creep mechanisms of FZ is the diffusion controlled dislocation climb, the creep of BM is controlled by ’solute drag’ creep and dislocation climb when the stress and temperature are different. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations of the dislocation structures of crept specimens are presented to give some supports for the creep behavior of FZ and BM. addition to the creep mechanism of dislocation movement, the interface sliding has been found to play an important role during creep of FZ.
