激光粉末床熔融制备Cu-Al-Mn形状记忆合金的相变行为与原位表征

Phase transformation behavior and in situ characterization of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

  • 摘要: Cu-Al-Mn形状记忆合金的功能性能来源于其可逆马氏体相变,而激光粉末床熔融(L-PBF)过程中复杂的热循环可能显著影响其相变行为及相稳定性。采用激L-PBF技术制备Cu71Al17.5Mn11.5形状记忆合金,并通过原位透射电子显微镜和原位X射线衍射技术,系统研究了其温度诱导固态相变行为。结果表明,采用L-PBF制备的Cu71Al17.5Mn11.5合金中,基体主要为β相,另存在少量由α相和β相组成的条状组织。通过原位透射电子显微镜观察发现,在合金升温至1 073 K过程中,条状组织及基体未发生显著形态变化。在快速冷却后,条状组织呈现出α相的衍射特征,基体发生了马氏体转变,形成18R马氏体。原位X射线衍射结果表明,α相在约1 173 K时完全固溶于β相。退火后,合金的晶粒明显长大,大部分晶粒转变为粗大的等轴晶,同时大角度晶界比例增大。研究揭示了L-PBF制备的Cu-Al-Mn合金在动态温度环境下的微观组织演变及其对力学性能的影响,为优化工艺参数和材料设计提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: The functional performance of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys originates from their reversible martensite transformation,while the complex thermal cycles involved in laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF) may significantly affect the phase transformation behavior and phase stability. A Cu71Al17.5Mn11.5 shape memory alloy was fabricated by L-PBF,and its temperature-induced solid-state phase transformation behavior was systematically investigated using in situ transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and in situ X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results show that the L-PBF-fabricated Cu71Al17.5Mn11.5 alloy mainly consists of a β-phase matrix,together with a small amount of lamellar structures composed of α and β phases. In situ TEM observations reveal that no significant morphological changes occur in either the lamellar structures or the matrix during heating up to 1 073 K. After rapid cooling,the lamellar structures exhibit diffraction features characteristic of the αphase,while the matrix undergoes a martensitic transformation to form 18R martensite. In situ XRD results indicate that theα phase completely dissolves into the β phase at approximately 1 173 K. After annealing,the grains coarsen markedly,with most grains transforming into coarse equiaxed grains,accompanied by an increased fraction of high-angle grain boundaries. This study elucidates the microstructural evolution of L-PBF-fabricated Cu-Al-Mn alloys under dynamic thermal conditions and its influence on mechanical performance,providing a theoretical basis for process optimization and material design.
