摘　　要：在自由落体条件下实现了Ti-6Al-4V合金微液滴的深过冷与快速凝固,研究了合金的相组成、凝固组织和显微硬度。计算出落管中不同直径微液滴的过冷度和冷却速率,揭示了Ti-6Al-4V合金凝固组织随过冷度及冷却速率的变化规律。结果表明,深过冷与快冷速的耦合作用使凝固组织不断细化且形貌发生转变:层片α+β→枝晶α→网篮状α'+β→针状α'→针状α'+不规则β。当液滴直径小于400μm时,位于原始等轴β晶的晶界及晶内的针状马氏体α'转化为大量连续分布且形状不规则的次生β相,发生α'→β固态转变。不同直径范围内的Ti-6Al-4V合金凝固组织的显微硬度与组织形貌有关,"层片组织"、"针状α'组织"和"针状α'+不规则β组织"的显微硬度随液滴直径的减小而增大,"网篮组织"的显微硬度随液滴直径的减小而减小。其中,枝晶组织的显微硬度可高达785 kg/mm^2,是母合金硬度的2.6倍。Especially in the past decades, Ti-6Al-4V alloy has received much attention, not only due to its high melting temperature, good corrosion resistance, low density and high hardness, but also because of the diverse and complicated microstructures formed under different conditions. This makes Ti-6Al-4V a potential candidate in both aerospace industries and fundamental research. It is well known that the solidified microstructures of alloy have a great influence on their mechanical properties. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V solidified under different conditions, in particular in the undercooling conditions. However, it is noted that most research on the solidification of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was carried out under equilibrium condition. With respect to Ti-6Al-4V alloy solidified under substantial undercooling conditions, few studies could be found. Thus, it is interesting to study two points：（1） the feature of the microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy solidified under highly undercooled conditions and large cooling rate,（2） the influence of undercooling and cooling rate on the mechanical property of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. To address these two problems, Ti-6Al-4V alloy was rapidly solidified in a drop tube. The main results are summarized as follows. The microstructure of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy solidified under free fall condition displays ＂lamellar α＋β→a dendrites→basket-weave α＇＋β→ needle-like α＇→ needle-like α＇＋ anomalous β＂ transformation with decreasing the droplets diameter. And the needle-like α＇ phase in the original boundaries of equiaxed b grains is transformed into a continuous distribution and anomalous structure of b phase when the droplet size is less than about 400 mm. The microhardness of this alloy ranges from 506 kg/mm^2 to785 kg/mm2 when the droplet diameter decreases from 1420 mm to 88 mm, which is much higher than that of the master alloy. For ＂lamellar structure of α＋β phases＂, ＂needle-like α＇ phase＂ and ＂ne
