Microstructure Evolution of Ti-9.2Mo-2Fe Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure evolution of a new designed metastable beta Ti-9.2Mo-2Fe alloy during aging treatment was investigated by TEM. The results revealed that athermal ω phases were observed in SAD pattern during water quenching from above the β transus temperature for the alloy. As well, isothermal ω phases were found during aging at 500 °C even though they have a limited time of stability. The coexistence of ω and α phase was found in the early aging time and the pre-formed ω phase during aging undergoes coarsening and act as uniformly distributed nucleation sites for α precipitation during subsequent isothermal aging treatment. A consequence of such ω- assisted nucleation is that relatively large amount of α precipitations are formed and fine distributed in β matrix. In addition, the α precipitations are of a relatively finer size scale (nanometers to sub micrometers).
