Effect of Heat Treatment and Composition on Grain Size and Lamellar Spacing of a Lamellar TiAl Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article presents the results of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) conducted on a Ti–46.5Al–2.5V-1.0Cr–0.3Ni alloy before and after different heat treatments. Heat treatment of the alloy at 1340°C followed by cooling leads to the formation of the fully lamellar microstructure which consists of γ lamellae mostly and of small amount of α2 lamellae. The cooling rate of 50°C/min in alloy tcx1-G produced an optimal microstructure. This cooling rate generated finest lamellae with the smallest individual lamella spacing among the alloys.
