新型难熔高熵合金本构关系及力化耦合效应研究

Research on the Constitutive Relationship and Mechanical-Chemical Coupling Effects of Novel Refractory High-Entropy Alloys

  • 摘要: 针对W-Zr两元合金体系在终点毁伤方面的脆性局限性,本研究引入Ti-Nb元素并通过真空电弧熔炼技术成功制备了新型Nb15Zr35Ti15W35难熔高熵合金样品。为了研究在冲击加载下的力学−化学耦合行为,进行了微观形貌、准静态和动态力学响应、本构模型与释能特性评价。结果表明:W/TixWy和Nbx/TixZry BCC固溶体相取代了原有的W2Zr脆性相,双相结构表现出明显的正应变率强化效应。临界断裂应变随应变率呈先增大后减小的趋势,不同应变率能量释放存在明显差异,应变率大于3135 s−1时材料出现贯通式剪切裂纹和局部反应,在3135~3931 s−1应变率区间表现出最佳的强塑性−化学平衡效应。改进的Johnson-Cook(J-C)模型准确描述了合金的热力学行为和动态流动行为。材料在冲击压缩期间最大剪切力方向上发生了显著的滑移,最终导致断裂失效。同时剪切面分析结果表明,Ti、Zr元素是与空气反应的主要活性成分,反应产物“熔滴”迹象证明了合金优异的塑性。

     

    Abstract: To overcome the brittleness of the W-Zr binary alloy system under ballistic conditions, a novel Nb15Zr35Ti15W35 refractory high-entropy alloy was designed and synthesized via vacuum arc melting with Ti and Nb additions. The microstructure, quasi-static/dynamic mechanical responses, constitutive relations, and energy release characteristics of the alloy were systematically examined to elucidate its mechanical-chemical coupling behavior under impact loading. The results indicate that the original brittle W2Zr phase is replaced by W/TiₓWy and Nbₓ/TiₓZry BCC solid solution phases; the dual-phase structure contributes to a notable positive strain rate effect. The critical fracture strain initially increases and then decreases with increasing strain rate, accompanied by significantly differentiated energy release behavior across strain rates. When the strain rate exceeds 3135 s−1, shear-induced cracks and localized reactions occur, with an optimal balance of strength, plasticity, and chemical reactivity observed within the 3135~3931 s−1 range. A modified Johnson-Cook model accurately captures the thermo-mechanical and dynamic flow behavior of the alloy. During impact compression, significant slip occurs along the direction of maximum shear stress, ultimately leading to fracture. Ti and Zr are identified as the primary reactive elements participating in oxidation with air, and the presence of solidified molten droplets on fracture surfaces confirms the alloy’s considerable plasticity.
