    Improving the high temperature (HT) resistance of titanium alloys is currently a technological challenge for extending their use in aerospace engines. Ti-Beta-21S is a metastable ÎČ titanium alloy specifically designed for high temperature applications up to 593 °C. We report the effect of a surface treatment by laser-shock peening (LSP) on the high temperature behavior of Ti-Beta-21S in order to increase further its maximum service temperature. The oxidation kinetics at 700 °C for duration up to 3000 h showed that the LSP treatment increases the oxidation resistance of Ti-Beta-21S. The effects of the LSP treatment on the alloy microstructure, its evolution at high temperature and the diffusion of light atmospheric elements (oxygen and nitrogen) are also reported

    Influence of Mechanical Surface Treatment on High-Temperature Oxidation of Pure Titanium

    The excellent combination of light-weight and good mechanical properties makes titanium alloys attractive for compressor section components in gas turbine engines (temperature between 250 and 600 °C). However, above 600 °C, the formation of an unprotective oxide layer facilitates the oxygen diffusion into the alloy. In this experimental study, pure titanium was treated with mechanical surface treatment to promote better protection against oxidation at high temperature. Shot-peened and laser-shock peened specimens were compared to untreated samples in terms of oxidation behavior at high temperature. We used thermal gravimetric analysis to oxidize the samples at 700 °C for 100 h. Subsequently, XRD, optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, NRA, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and micro-hardness were used to characterize the oxide scale and the alpha-case layer formed during the high-temperature exposure. The shot-peened samples oxidized less (−45%) than the untreated and laser-shock peened samples. This behavior was attributed to the formation of a continuous nitride layer between oxide and metal

    The aim of this thesis is to determine the influence of two mechanical surface treatments, the shot- peening performed with several type of balls (WC, alumina and glass) and the laser shock peening, on the high temperature oxidation resistance of two titanium alloys : alpha alloy with commercially purity (Grade 1) and aeronautical beta metastable alloy (TIMETAL-21S).After different treatments, the pieces are oxidized with different conditions: of time (between 5 hours to study the firsts times of oxidation and 3000 hours to compare with a classical aeronautical test), of temperature (600°C to 700°C) and atmosphere (dry air or oxygen).The pieces are analyzed before and after oxidation exposure with several mechanical (micro-hardness, strain measurements), chemicals (XRD, nuclear microprobe) and structural (EBSD, texture) techniques. The results show a large surface perturbation before the high temperature exposure in term of morphological, mechanical, structural and chemical point of view.This mechanical treatments lead up to an oxidation rate reduction for all the different titanium alloys. This treatments modified the diffusion rate of several elements (nitrogen, oxygen, molybdenum or aluminum) but also the microstructure (recrystallization, grain morphology or texturing) during high temperature exposure. Nitrogen element plays an important role in the observed phenomena.However, the determination of consequences after mechanical treatment on the titanium oxidation resistance is again difficult with the observations noted in this work. Actually, there is a simultaneous contributions of several factors: chemical, mechanical and structural.Cette thĂšse vise Ă  dĂ©terminer l’influence de deux traitements mĂ©caniques, le grenaillage SMAT effectuĂ© avec plusieurs types de billes (en WC, en alumine et en verre) et le choc laser, sur la rĂ©sistance Ă  l’oxydation haute tempĂ©rature de deux alliages de titane : un alliage alpha commercialement « pur » (Grade 1) et un alliage aĂ©ronautique bĂ©ta mĂ©tastable (TIMETAL-21S).Une fois traitĂ©es, les piĂšces sont oxydĂ©es avec diffĂ©rentes conditions : de durĂ©e (entre 5 heures pour Ă©tudier les premier instants de l’oxydation et 3000h pour se rapprocher d’un essai type en aĂ©ronautique), de tempĂ©rature (600°C Ă  700°C) et d’atmosphĂšre (air sec et oxygĂšne).Les piĂšces sont analysĂ©es avant et aprĂšs oxydation Ă  l’aide de plusieurs techniques d’analyses : mĂ©caniques (duretĂ©, mesures de contraintes), chimiques (DRX, microsonde nuclĂ©aire, 
) ou structurales (EBSD, texture).Les rĂ©sultats obtenus montrent que les traitements perturbent fortement les piĂšces avant leur exposition Ă  haute tempĂ©rature d’un point de vue morphologique, structural, mĂ©canique et chimique. Ces traitements mĂ©caniques amĂšnent une rĂ©duction de l’oxydation des piĂšces Ă©tudiĂ©es. Il semble qu’ils modifient la vitesse de diffusion des espĂšces (azote, oxygĂšne, aluminium, molybdĂšne) mais aussi la microstructure (recristallisation, morphologie de grain ou texturation) au cours de la mise en tempĂ©rature. L’azote joue un rĂŽle essentiel dans les phĂ©nomĂšnes observĂ©s.NĂ©anmoins, la dĂ©termination des consĂ©quences de ces traitements sur la rĂ©sistance Ă  l’oxydation reste encore complexe de par les observations de ce travail, qui rĂ©vĂšlent une contribution simultanĂ©e de plusieurs facteurs : chimiques, mĂ©caniques et structuraux
