Abstract:The common titanium alloys are prone to spontaneous combustion under a certain service condition of high temperature. The rapid spread of titanium-fire will damage the titanium matrix component. The problem can be effectively solved by the preparation of flame-retardant modified layer on the surface of common titanium alloy. The plastic metal Cu powder was pre-implanted in the grooving prepared in the surface layer on the Ti6Al4V alloy substrate. The friction stir processing was utilized to produce the Ti-Cu alloying modified layer on the surface of Ti6Al4V substrate. The thermal reaction diffusion behavior between the thermoplastic Ti matrix and Cu powder in stir nugget zone benefits to the formation of alloying layer. Meanwhile, β-Ti phase stabilization element of Cu favored for the α-Ti/β-Ti phase proportion modification, aiming to produce more β-Ti phase after the α-Ti/β-Ti transformation during the processing. After the process optimization, the surface modification layer is formed with the β-Ti phase rich zone. The intermetallic phase of Ti2Cu and other Ti-Cu intermediate phases are formed based on the Ti/Cu reaction diffusion and solid solution and precipitation behaviors. The flame-retardant property of the common Ti6Al4V alloy with the modified layer is obtained. The flame-retardant property is evaluated by laser ablation method. Moreover, the flame-retardant mechanism is elucidated in detail. The modification of α/β phase proportion contributes to the increment of β-Ti phase proportion after the friction stir processing cooling procedure. The formation of Ti-Cu intermediate phases and Ti-Cu alloying zone in the modified layer is conducted by adding flame-retardant alloying element of Cu.
