Effects of Geometric Constraint on Solidification Microstructural Development of Peritectic TiAl Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Directional solidification of binary peritectic TiAl alloys through preforms with straight channels with spacing on the order of the dendritic tip radius were simulated using a modified solid-liquid interface tracking model. Interruption of the steady-state growth of the primary β-phase by constraint of solutal diffusion within very thin sections of ceramic preforms can lead to solidification conditions favorable for the nucleation and continued growth of the peritectic α-phase even after the growth front has exited the preform.
