Abstract
- High Nb-TiAl (Ti-44Al-8Nb-0.2W-0.2B-0.5Y, at.%) ingot was fabricated by vacuum arc remelting (VAR). The as-cast ingot was hot-isostatic pressed (HIP) and homogenizing annealing processed. The influence of heat treatment temperature and thermomechanical processing on the microstructure and tensile property of the alloy was investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile tests. It was found that the high Nb-TiAl alloy after HIP and annealing was mainly composed of coarse α2/γ lamellae, β/B2 phase and γ phase and the solidification path of this alloy was: L→L+β→β→α+β→α→α+β+γ→α2+β+γ. The water quenching results showed that the alloy was in α single phase region at 1,340 °C. After heating at 1,340 °C for 30 min followed by furnace cooling, the alloy showed a full lamellar microstructure and its ultimate tensile strength was about 538 MPa, with an elongation of 0.3% at room temperature. Free-crack forged pancakes with fine-grained fully lamellar structure (FFLS) were obtained with an initial deformation temperature of 1,340 °C and the ultimate tensile strength of forged alloy was about 820 MPa, with an elongation of 0.9% at room temperature, which was much higher than that of alloy after HIP and annealing because of microstructural refinement.
