β solidifying γ titanium aluminide alloys exhibit fine and homogeneous microstructures in the cast condition, in particular if the alloys contain B as a grain refining agent. Following work in the literature [1], it is demonstrated that the grain refining effect due to B is solely attributed in such alloys to its effect on the solid-state β/α transformation. The results further show that grain refinement in these materials can be obtained by a simple heat treatment, even if the microstructure has been extensively coarsened through prior heat-treatment.

ABSTRACTTitanium aluminide alloys with compositions near Ti-25A1-25Nb at.% were prepared by both rapid solidification and ingot techniques. Their tensile and creep properties were studied after heat treatment to produce various microstructures containing ordered orthorhombic (O) [1], ordered beta (βo), and α2 phases. It was found that these alloys had higher specific strength from room temperature to 760°C than conventional α2 alloys. Ductility and tensile strength of O+βo alloys were strongly dependent upon heat treatment, with the highest strength observed as-heat-treated, and the highest ductility after long term aging. The creep resistance of single phase O and two phase O+βo alloys was strongly dependent upon heat treatment.

ABSTRACTPlates of three gamma titanium aluminide alloys have been investment cast with a wide variety of casting conditions designed to influence cooling rates. These alloys include Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb, Ti- 47Al-2Cr-2Nb+0.5at%B and Ti-45Al-2Cr-2Nb+0.9at%B. Cooling rates have been estimated with the use of thermal data from casting experiments, along with the UES ProCAST simulation package. Variations in cooling rate significantly influenced the microstructure and tensile properties of all three alloys.
