In this study, the Ti6Al4V alloy was treated by explosion hardening (EH) technique to produce a gradient microstructure with hierarchical nanotwins. The EH treatment significantly enhanced the tensile and compressive strengths of the alloy, mainly due to the formation of hierarchical nanotwins. This research may have potential applications in the field of load-carrying capacity, tribological property, and fatigue property of metallic materials.
In the present work, Ti6Al4V alloy was treated by one/two passes explosion hardening (EH) technique to enhance mechanical properties. The phase structures, grain size distribution, dislocation and twin structures of EH treated Ti6Al4V alloy were characterized in detail. Mechanical properties of EH treated Ti6Al4V alloy were measured by tensile and compressive tests. The mechanism of shock-induced strengthening was subsequently analyzed. Experimental results showed that gradient grain microstructure with nanotwins/hierarchical nano twins and beta-alpha phase transformation occurred near the surface of EH treated Ti6Al4V alloy. Furthermore, the tensile and compressive strengths of Ti6Al4V alloy exhibited significant enhancement after EH treatment. The compressive strength of the materials increased from 1008 MPa in untreated condition to 1121 MPa in one pass EH treatment and 1365 MPa in two passes EH treatment, while the fracture strains always remained more than 0.15. The significant strengthening of Ti6Al4V alloy after two passes EH treatment was mainly attributed to the formation of hierarchical nanotwins, which can effectively impede dislocation motion. In summary, EH is an effective technique to improve mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V alloy by producing gradient microstructure with hierarchical nanotwins. The present research may have the potential use for metallic materials in the field of load-carrying capacity, tribological property and fatigue property.
