AbstractEnhanced work hardening of the phases in the lamellar microstructure has been cited as an explanation for the lower minimum creep rates of a two-phase TiAl/Ti3Al lamellar alloy compared with the minimum creep rates of the individual TiAl and Ti3Al single-phase alloys tested between 980 K and 1130 K. This proposition is confirmed by TEM observations. Thermal and thermomechanical exposure result in the microstructural evolution, which increases the minimum creep rate (εmin) of the lamellar alloy. The effect of microstructural evolution on εmin will be discussed in the present paper.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the fundamentals of deformation behavior in ordered y′ (Ni3Al), β (NiAl) and β′ (Ni2AITi) phases, and specific two phase y/y′ and B/B′ alloys. The relative creep strengths of these ordered nickel-base alloys are discussed. Differences in creep behavior are explained in terms of the effects of temperature, crystallographic orientation and alloying on creep deformation mode. In particular, it is shown that trace additions of boron and carbon to y/y′ alloys, or deviations from stoichiometry in β′ -type alloys can exert a strong influence on creep behavior.

The Stability

In recent years, significant advances have been made in regard to the creep deformation behavior of two phase titanium alloys. It has been shown that the creep resistance depends on a number of factors, including the shape of the component phases, the strength difference between the phases, and the stability of the beta phase. For example, in two-phase materials with a similar volume fraction and morphology of phases, if the beta phase is less stable, then the creep resistance is lower. These developments will be reviewed and the reasons for such effects will be suggested.

ABSTRACTBrittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) temperature (TBD) was evaluated according to temperature dependence of tensile properties under different strain rates from 10−5to 10−1s−1in two-phase Ti-47Al-2Mn-2Nb and Ti-47A1–2Mn-2Nb-0.8 TiB2alloys with nearly lamellar microstructure. Based on the strain rate dependence of the determined TBD values, apparent BDT activation energies were determined using Zener-Hollomon factor. Tensile fracture surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope while deformation substructures were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the BDTT of both alloys increased sharply with the strain rate and that the minor addition of 0.8 vol% TiB2reduced TBD by about 100K at the same strain rate. The TiB2addition also decreases the apparent BDT activation energy from 324 to 256 kJ/mol. Both of these values approximate to self- or inter-diffusion of Ti and Al atoms in TiAl phase. Transgranular fracture and dimple fracture were found dominant in fracture surfaces below and above TBD, respectively. The most common 1/2<110] ordinary dislocations were found to begin climb at mound TBD. All this evidence, as well as a theoretical calculation using the Nabarro Model, add up to a conclusion that the BDT is controlled by dislocation climb in both alloys.

Fully Lamellar

ABSTRACTA complex two phase γ-TiAl alloy, Ti-47Al-lCr-1Mn-2Ta-0.2Si (at.%) in a fully lamellar condition, has been creep tested at a stress of 200MPa and a temperature of 700°C. This simulates the in-service operating conditions for several potential gas turbine aero engine applications where creep resistance is a design limiting material property. The results have indicate that reduction in lamellae thickness and avoidance of feathery type microstructures contribute to improved creep resistance.

AbstractTitanium aluminides with a lamellar microstructure consisting of the intermetallic phases ֱ2 (Ti3Al) and γ(TiAl) suffer from brittleness at ambient temperatures but exhibit at the same time a relatively high fracture toughness. This discrepancy indicates particular processes stabilizing crack propagation in the lamellar microstructure. In this context, the toughening mechanisms were investigated in (α2 + γ) TiAl alloys which contained different volume fractions of lamellar colonies. The fracture toughness for crack propagation parallel or across the lamellar interfaces was estimated by using chevron-notched bending bars. Electron microscope studies were performed to characterize the related processes of crack tip plasticity. Special emphasis was paid to the crystallography of crack propagation and to the interaction of crack tips with lamellar interfaces. Accordingly, the lamellar morphology derives some of its toughness from interface-related processes which stabilize crack propagation by deflecting the crack tip and providing the necessary dislocation sources for crack tip shielding in the process zone ahead of the crack tip.
