Rare Earth Oxide Dispersoid Stability and Microstructural Effects in Rapidly Solidified Ti3Al and Ti3A1-Nb
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
The microstructures of titanium aluminide alloys containing a rare earth oxide dispersion have been characterized using analytical electron microscopy. The alloys, based on Ti3A1 (alpha-2), contained 0 to 10.7 atom% Nb and 0.5 atom% Er. Alloys were rapidly solidified by melt spinning and were subsequently consolidated by HIP and extrusion. The microstructure of each alloy was examined in the as-cast, as-HIP'ed, and as-extruded conditions. A fine dispersoid spaced less than 100 nm apart was observed in ribbon aged at 750°C. The effects of processing conditions on the dispersoid distribution as a function of matrix chemistry were studied. Hot deformation was also examined to investigate the nature of the interaction between the dispersoids and the matrix during deformation.
