ABSTRACTGamma titanium aluminide alloys of current interest are two-phase alloys consisting of γ-TiAl phase as the matrix and a α2-Ti3Al phase as the second phase. The properties of these alloys depend on alloy composition, processing, microstructure, and their combination. Two major microstructural constituents are gamma grains and lamellar grains, the latter of which contain alternate layers of gamma (γ) and alpha-2 (α2) thin plates. The relative amounts and distribution of these two constituents are the main factors controlling mechanical properties. This paper reviews our current understanding of the composition/microstructure/property relationships. An extended discussion will be made on the fundamental aspects of the formation of lamellar structure during cooling and the evolution of microstructure occurring during thermomechanical treatments.

AbstractExtensive progress and improvements have been made in the science and technology of gamma titanium aluminide alloys within the last decade. In particular, our understanding of their microstructural characteristics and property/microstructurc relationships has been substantially deepened. Based on these achievements, various engineering two-phase gamma alloys have been developed and their mechanical and chemical properties have been assessed. Aircraft and automotive industries arc pursuing their introduction for various structural components. At the same time, recent basic studies on the mechanical properties of two-phase gamma alloys, in particular with a controlled lamellar structure have provided a considerable amount of fundamental information on the deformation and fracture mechanisms of the two-phase gamma alloys. The results of such basic studies are incorporated in the recent alloy and microstructure design of two-phase gamma alloys. In this paper, such recent advances in the research and development of the two-phase gamma alloys and industrial involvement are summarized.

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.

Titanium Aluminide Alloys

Utilization of gamma titanium aluminide alloys in aerospace and automotive/industrial applications has placed significant demand on melting sources for products to be used in cast, wrought, and direct-machining applications. There is also an increased demand for input stock used in gas atomization of powders. Current technologies used in ingot manufacturing include plasma arc melting, vacuum arc melting, and induction skull melting + centrifugal casting. Subsequent processing may include forging, re-melting + casting, or machining directly into components. Over the past six years, Arconic Engineered Structures has developed a robust melting method using plasma cold-hearth melting technology, including the design and implementation of a new 3-torch system to produce Ti-48-2-2 cast bars. General discussions concerning plasma cold-hearth melting, manufacturing challenges, and metallurgical attributes associated with cast Ti-48-2-2 bars will be reviewed. Emphasis will be on understanding the impact of hot isostatic pressing on internal voids, residual stress cracking and resulting mechanical properties.
