Mechanical properties of L1{sub 2} type Zn{sub 3}Ti-based alloy

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001632

An alloy composed of L1{sub 2}-type Zn{sub 3}Ti was investigated in terms of phase stability and mechanical properties. Zn and Ti powders were mixed at a composition of Zn-25mol%Ti using a ball mill in Ar, and an ingot was made by melting the powders. Optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and thermogravimetry--differential thermal analysis were carried out. Mechanical properties were investigated by Vickers hardness tests at room temperature (RT) and compression tests from RT to 703K in Ar. It is found that (1) the alloy is mainly composed of L1{sub 2}Zn{sub 3}Ti, (2) the alloy has weak positive temperature dependence of strength, and (3) normalized strength by melting point is comparable to that of L1{sub 2}Al{sub 3}Ti-Cr alloys. L1{sub 2}Zn{sub 3}Ti has HV178 and is brittle at RT. Reaction temperatures of Zn-rich portion of the Zn-Ti phase diagram were also reinvestigated and a peritectic-reaction temperature between Zn{sub 3}Ti and liquid + Zn{sub 2}Ti is determined to be at 880K.
