Invar alloys with both high strength and low thermal expansion are urgently needed in fields such as overhead power transmission, aero-molds, and so on. In this paper, Cr was introduced as a cost-efficient alloying element into the Fe-36Ni binary invar alloy to increase its mechanical strength. Our results confirmed that fine CrC precipitants, together with some FeC, in the invar alloy aged at 425 °C could be obtained with a short aging time. Those precipitants then grew and aggregated at grain or sub-grain boundaries with an increase in aging time. Simultaneously, mechanical strength and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) parabolically varied with the increase in aging time. The sample aged at 425 °C for 7 h presented a maximum strength of 644.4 MPa, together with a minimum coefficient of thermal expansion of 3.30 × 10 K in the temperature range of 20-100 °C. This optimized result should be primarily attributed to the precipitation of the nanoscaled CrC.
在架空输电、航空模具等领域,迫切需要兼具高强度和低热膨胀率的因瓦合金。本文将Cr作为一种经济高效的合金元素引入Fe-36Ni二元因瓦合金中,以提高其机械强度。我们的结果证实,在425℃时效的因瓦合金中,短时效时间即可获得细小的CrC沉淀相,以及一些FeC。随着时效时间的增加,这些沉淀相在晶粒或亚晶界处长大并聚集。同时,机械强度和热膨胀系数(CTE)随时效时间的增加呈抛物线变化。在425℃时效7 h的样品,在20-100℃温度范围内呈现出644.4 MPa的最大强度,以及3.30×10 K的最小热膨胀系数。这一优化结果主要归因于纳米级CrC的析出。
