Abstract:

The phase composition and microstucture characteristics of Ti-Al and Ti-Al-Nb alloys were analyzed by qualitative and quantitative X-ray diffraction and optical micrscopic methods. The effects of Nb addition in Ti-Al alloys on phase composition of Ti-Al-Nb alloy, grain size and distribution were also investigated. It was found that Nb addition could dramatically improve the stability of β and α2 phases, while the precipitation of α and γ phases was hindered as Nb addition. Meanwhile, the area of α2+γ two-phase region was enlarged, and the γ phase region was made to shift to the right. Furthermore, the grain size of Ti-Al-Nb alloys was significantly refinded by Nb addition within a specific composition range.

Key words: high Nb -TiAl alloys, equilibrium phase transformations, microscopic structure
