Lattice Structures of AlSc and their Effect on Interdiffusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structures of AlSc with 50at.% and 55at.% Sc were investigated. It was shown that orthorhombic AlSc is formed at Sc 50at.%, and B2 AlSc at Sc 55at.%. After anealing above 1100 °C, the orthorhombic AlSc transited into B2 structure, which indicated that B2 AlSc can also be a metalstable phase in the alloy with Sc less than 50at.%. The effects of these two structures on the phases formation via inter-diffusion were also studied using diffusion couple with titanium and γ-TiAl. It was found that the interdiffusion coefficients are the main factors for Ti/AlSc and structures are the main factors for γ-TiAl/AlSc.
