Abstract
The relationship between the microstructure of the ring forging and the ultrasonic anomalies were studied in response to the localized anomaly observed during the non-destructive testing of TA15 titanium alloy ring forging. The distribution of internal defects was explored through water immersion ultrasonic testing of ring forging. The microstructure of the normal region and the abnormal zone were compared using scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. And finite-element simulation was used to simulate the formation process of the abnormal ultrasound position. The results showed that the different layers of the ring-forged component exhibited varying degrees of bottom wave attenuation along the radial direction. The abnormal area corresponded to a higher number of primary α-phase and larger grain sizes. Under the combined effect of temperature and stress, the recrystallized grains began to grow abnormally, leading to significant bottom wave attenuation.
Kurzfassung
Als Reaktion auf lokale Anomalien, die bei der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung eines Ringschmiedestücks aus einer TA15-Titanlegierung beobachtet wurden, wurde die Beziehung zwischen der Mikrostruktur des Ringschmiedestücks und den Ultraschallanomalien untersucht. Zur Untersuchung der Verteilung der inneren Fehler wurde der geschmiedete Ring im Wassertauchverfahren mittels Ultraschall geprüft. Mithilfe der Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (REM) und der Rückstreuelektronenbeugung (EBSD) wurde die Mikrostruktur des normalen Bereichs und der anomalen Zone verglichen. Zudem wurde eine Finite-Elemente-Simulation durchgeführt, um den Entstehungsprozess der anormalen Ultraschallposition zu modellieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die verschiedenen Schichten des ringgeschmiedeten Bauteils in radialer Richtung eine unterschiedlich starke Dämpfung der Ultraschallwellen aufwiesen. Der anormale Bereich entsprach einer höheren Anzahl von Körnen der primären α-Phase und größeren Korngrößen. Unter der kombinierten Wirkung von Temperatur und Spannung begannen die rekristallisierten Körner abnormal zu wachsen, was zu einer erheblichen Dämpfung der Ultraschallwelle führte.
