Synthesis of Al2O3/TiAl In Situ Composites from Ti-Al-TiO2-Cr-V2O5

Abstract:

Al2O3/TiAl composites doped with Cr and V2O5 were successfully prepared from Ti, Al, TiO2, Cr and V2O5 by in situ hot-pressing. The synthesis process and the microstructures of as-fabricated samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the reaction process could be divided into three stages: firstly, Ti reacted with Al to form TiAl3, then TiO2 and V2O5 were reduced by Al to form Al2O3, and finally TiAl and Ti3Al occur from the competitive solid-state diffusion reactions. The as-synthesized composites mainly consist of V and Cr doped matrix phases of γ-TiAl and α2-Ti3Al and dispersive Al2O3 phase. The in situ formed fine Al2O3 particles mainly disperse on the boundaries of TiAl. Compression strength shows a peak value of 1096.22 MPa at 7.54 at.% Al2O3 content.
