Abstract

In view of the development of improved TiAl cast alloys the potential of the  transformation and its dependence on the addition of several alloying elements has been investigated. It was found that microstructural refinement in  solidifying alloys can be attributed to the alloying effect on the kinetics of the  transformation. This also holds for grain refinement through Borides which apparently serve as nucleation sites for the  phase in the solid-state transformation.
