摘要
采用粉末冶金法结合热挤压制备Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.3Nb合金棒材。利用电子探针获得的元素分布图显示,在合金基体中生成了分布在晶界与晶内的富Nb析出相。透射电镜分析表明,富Nb析出相与合金基体之间无明确位向关系。合金在400°C时效早期发生调幅分解和有序化,使其强度迅速升高。Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.3Nb合金比Cu-15Ni-8Sn合金具有更高的强度(抗拉强度>1030 MPa)和更好的延性(伸长率>9.1%),这是由于添加Nb元素后生成的富Nb析出相能细化合金组织,抑制时效过程中的胞状析出。
Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.3Nb alloy rods were prepared by means of powder metallurgy followed by hot extrusion. Element maps obtained by electron probe micro analyzer(EPMA) showed that Nb-rich phases were formed and distributed within grains and at grain boundaries of the Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.3Nb alloy. Transmission electron microscope(TEM) results indicated that there was no obvious orientation relationship between these phases and the matrix. Spinodal decomposition and ordering transformation appeared at early stages of aging at 400 °C and caused significant strengthening. Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.3Nb alloy exhibited both higher strength(ultimate tensile strength >1030 MPa) and higher tensile ductility(elongation>9.1%) than Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy after aging treatment. The improvement was caused by Nb-rich phases at grain boundaries which led o the refinement of grain size and postponed the growth of discontinuous precipitates during aging.
