Instead of conventional grain-refinement treatments for improving the ductility of fully lamellar TiAl alloys, multiorientational, lamellar, subcolony refinement with good ductility has been achieved simply by using an electric-current pulse treatment. The microstructural refinement mechanism is attributed to the transformation on heating of γ laths in the prior large-grain lamellar structure to Widmanstätten α in several orientations, which on subsequent cooling forms lamellar structure colonies in multiple orientations. This kind of refined multiple-colony lamellar structure was found to enhance the ductility of the TiAl alloy.

High Nb containing TiAl alloys have been investigated traditionally as potential high temperature structural materials because of their high strength, good oxidation and creep resistance. However, the poor ductility and fracture toughness at room temperature limit their application, which could be improved by controlling microstructure to get refine and homogeneous fully lamellar structure. In this study, a high Nb containing TiAl alloy alloying Mn, B and Y with refined microstructure was produced. The solidification path was analyzed by DSC and SEM microstructure of the alloy was observed, after heating at a certain temperature for 1-24hrs and then quenching in water. The dissolution of β phase was also investigated. The results showed that the β phase could decompose only by heating in single β or near α phase field.

Fine-grained fully lamellar (FGFL) structures of XD TiAl alloys (Ti-45 and 47Al-2Nb-2Mn+0.8vol.%TiB2) (at.%) were stabilized to varying degrees by different aging treatments. Specimens with and without aging were creep tested at 760°C and 207 MPa. It was found that during creep deformation, degradation of the lamellar structure involving coarsening within the colonies and spheroidization at colony boundaries occurred, forming fine globular structures at the colony boundaries and increasing the creep rate. Aging treatments stabilized the lamellar structure and retarded the coarsening and spheroidization processes during creep deformation. As a result, the aged specimens exhibited lower minimum creep rates and longer creep lives than the unaged specimens. A multiple step aging stabilized the lamellar structure to the greatest extent and suppressed other degradation processes during aging, resulting in the best creep resistance. These results demonstrate that the multiple step aging is the optimal aging condition for stabilizing FGFL XD TiAl alloys.

Thermal Stability Of

The beneficial effects of boron addition on microstructure transformations and mechanical properties of γ-TiAl alloys were investigated. Two growth mechanisms of boride (TiB2) in γ-TiAl alloy were confirmed, the curved flaky borides are products of irregular eutectic reaction growing coupled with matrix, while some faceted blocky borides in boron-rich alloy are primary TiB2 phase growing directly in melt. The core of flaky TiB2 is ultra-fine B2 phase and there has an orientation relationship [1210] TiB2//[001]B2, (1010) //(010)B2. In addition to the well-known grain refinement effect, boron addition can suppress the formation of metastable feathery and Widmastätten structure and broadens cooling-rate-range for the formation of fully lamellar structure, consequently, it improves thermal stability of the lamellar structure and accordingly prolongs the creep rupture life significantly. Another beneficial effect of boron addition is that boride can restrain discontinuous coarsening on lamellar grain boundary by pinning action and accelerates recrystallization of γ grain by introducing TiB2/matrix interfaces as nuclear sites during homogeneous treatment at 1150°C. Therefore, compared with boron-free alloy more homogeneous and refined near γ microstructure can be obtained in boron modified alloy.

The microstructures and creep properties at 760 °C and 276 MPa of three powder metallurgy TiAl alloys (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb, Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+0.5W, and Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+1W (atomic percent)) are presented. The results indicate that the addition of W to the base composition, the use of a solution heat treatment combined with controlled cooling (to generate a fully lamellar microstructure), and the use of an aging heat treatment (to generate precipitate particles at the lamellar interfaces) improve creep properties dramatically. The solution heat treated and aged Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb+1W alloy has a time to 0.5% strain of 8.3 hours, a time to 1% strain of 46.4 hours, and a creep life of 412 hours with a rupture ductility of 16.9%.

Crack Bifurcation

Fracture behavior of fully lamellar (FL) and duplex phase (DP) TiAl alloys is reported in this paper. It was found that the inverse behavior of coarse FL TiAl alloy showing inferior tensile properties but superior fracture toughness resulted from the different fracture mechanisms of these two types’ tests. In tensile specimens, the final fracture happened at a section that was most heavily damaged by the accumulation of large interlamellar microcracks and arbitrarily located within the gauge-limited volume. In 3PB notch specimens, the propagation of the main crack was constrained within a narrow strip nearby the centerline where the normal stress was the highest. Large lamellar grains caused serious damage in tensile tested specimens. However multi-oriented large lamellar grains formed seriously bifurcated crack tips, which made the crack propagation more difficult in 3PB notched specimen. The main mechanisms of toughening in FL specimens were the deflection of main crack, bifurcation and blunting of crack tip and formation of a diffuse zone of microcracks. These phenomena reduced the driving force for crack extending and then increased the fracture toughness.
