Precipitation Softening and Precipitate Free Zones of V55Ti30Ni15 Alloys During Heat Treatment

Abstract

Abstract:

The microstructure, hardness, and precipitate free zones (PFZ) of V₅₅Ti₃₀Ni₁₅ alloys during heat treatment have been investigated in this study. The microstructure resulting from different heat treatment conditions has a great influence on hardness. The microstructure resulting from different heat treatment conditions has a great influence on hardness. Fine NiTi particles precipitate from the supersaturated V-matrix solid solution at 750°C, increase in quantity until 800°C, and then dissolve back into the V-matrix at 850°C. The resultant hardness decreases with temperature until 800°C, and then increases from 800 to 850°C. The microstructure containing small NiTi precipitates resulting from the treatment of 18h at 800°C has a good soft condition for workability. PFZ formed at the grain boundary of V-matrix during heat treatment was observed. Vacancies depletion in V-matrix maybe led to the formation of PFZ.

Key words: V-Ti-Ni, Heat treatment, Hardness, Precipitation softening, Precipitate free zones
