Fully lamellar structures of powder metallurgy (PM), investment cast, and directionally solidified (DS) TiAl alloys containing β stabilizer were produced after stepped cool heat treatment, and interface β precipitates were formed after aging at 950°C. In addition, a columnar grain structure combined with a fully lamellar structure aligned with the load direction and interface β precipitates were formed by directional solidification and subsequent heat treatments. Creep test results of PM TiAl indicate that controlling the initial microstructures is also critical for balancing the primary and steady-state creep resistance during short and long-term tests. DS TiAl alloy exhibits a significant reduction of the primary strain and creep rate compared to polycrystalline TiAl due to the unique DS microstructure. Therefore, a DS microstructure with proper lamellar orientation and controlled interface β precipitation is the ideal if maximum time to a relatively small (<0.5%) strain is the design criterion of merit.

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.
