Abstract
Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr titanium alloy was nanocrystallized with supersonic fine particles bombarding (SFPB). The microstructure features of nanocrystalline layer were determined by XRD, TEM, and microhardness tester. The electrochemical corrosion properties of the surface of original sample and the nanocrystallized sample surface were tested by CHI660 tester. That random crystallographic oriented particles (average grain size of 16 nm) were observed in the top surface layer of Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr titanium alloy, which could be attributed to the surface nanocrystallization. The electrochemical corrosion results show that the impedance of the sample nanolayer is reduced after SFPB with 30 min, and the corrosion resistance is lower than the original sample. The residual internal stress from the process of SFPB is one of the main factors to decrease the nanolayer corrosion resistance of Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr titanium alloy. However, the corrosion resistance is significantly recovered after stress relief annealing with 250–350 °C.
