Microstructural Refinement of Boron Containing β-Solidifying γ-Titanium Aluminide Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

β solidifying γ titanium aluminide alloys exhibit fine and homogeneous microstructures in the cast condition, in particular if the alloys contain B as a grain refining agent. Following work in the literature [1], it is demonstrated that the grain refining effect due to B is solely attributed in such alloys to its effect on the solid-state β/α transformation. The results further show that grain refinement in these materials can be obtained by a simple heat treatment, even if the microstructure has been extensively coarsened through prior heat-treatment.
