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.

The paper presents an assessment of large eddy simulation (LES) and conventional Reynolds averaged methods (RANS) for predicting aero-engine gas turbine combustor performance. The performance characteristic that is examined in detail is the radial burner outlet temperature (BOT) or fuel-air ratio profile. Several different combustor configurations, with variations in airflows, geometries, hole patterns and operating conditions are analyzed with both LES and RANS methods. It is seen that LES consistently produces a better match to radial profile as compared to RANS. To assess the predictive capability of LES as a design tool, pretest predictions of radial profile for a combustor configuration are also presented. Overall, the work presented indicates that LES is a more accurate tool and can be used with confidence to guide combustor design. This work is the first systematic assessment of LES versus RANS on industry-relevant aero-engine gas turbine combustors.

ABSTRACTThe paper presents an electron microscope study of phase transformation and recrystallization in an intermetallic α2(Ti3Al) + γ(TiAl) titanium aluminide alloy, after long-term creep. The mechanisms are closely related to the atomic structure of the α2/γ phase boundaries and are probably driven by a non-equilibrium of the phase composition leading to the dissolution of the α2 phase. The α2 /γ transformation is accompanied by the formation of precipitates, because the γ(TiAl)phase has a significantly lower solubility for interstitial impurities than the α2(Ti3Al) phase.

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.

ABSTRACTA ternary titanium aluminide alloy, Ti-46Al-3Cr (at%), was discontinuously reinforced with 5 vol% titanium diboride (TiB2), by an in-situ synthesis technique, resulting in a two phase γ(TiAl) (mainly) and α2(Ti3Al) matrix with randomly dispersed TiB2 particle. Interfaces of TiB2-TiAl were investigated by Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM) and High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM). No consistent crystallographic orientation relationship was observed between TiB2 particle and TiAl matrix, and there was no evidence of alloying elements (such as Cr) segregation or interphase formation at the TiB2-TiAl interface. HREM results indicated that no semi-coherent interface between TiB2 and TiAl has been observed. There existed a thin amorphous layer (0.5 to 1.3 nm) at the TiB2-TiAl interface, which may accommodate the large lattice misfit across the interface and enhance the interfacial bonding.
