Abstract:Y2O3 reinforced Ti-6Al-4V (TC4 alloy) composite powders were prepared by electrode induced gas atomization (EIGA). The flowability and apparent density of the powders were measured. The morphology and distribution of Y2O3 were observed by optical microscope (OM) and scanning election microscope (SEM). The phase and element composition of Y2O3/TC4 composite powders were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and plasma emission spectrometer (PES). The results show that the Y2O3/TC4 composite powders prepared by EIGA have good sphericity with a small amount of non-spherical powders. Satellite powders and Y2O3 particles are adhered on the surface. The flowability of the composite powders is poor, ranging from 33.9-45.6 s/50 g, which is greatly affected by Y2O3 original particle size. The apparent density is mainly affected by the Y2O3 content (w(Y2O3)), which increases with the increase of Y2O3 content. Y2O3 particles maintain the original shape and size, which are distributed in TC4 matrix uniformly. The interface with matrix is smooth and flat. Y2O3 particles are easy to agglomerate, and the micromorphology is mainly influenced by the original particle size. Y2O3 with ring distribution are found in large-size composite powders. The Y2O3 content in small-sized composite powders is less, and the distribution is uniform.
