Ultrafine fully-lamellar structures in two-phase {gamma}-TiAl alloys
Special ultrafine fully lamellar microstructures have been found recently in {gamma}-TiAl alloys with 46-48% Al processed or heat treated above the {alpha}-transus temperature (T{alpha}). Hot extrusion above T{alpha} also produces a refined colony or grain size. Refined-colony/ultrafine-lamellar (RC/UL) microstructures produce an excellent combination of RT ductility and high-temperature strength in Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb (at.%) alloys. UL structures also have regularly alternating {gamma} and {alpha}{sub 2} lamellae, such that they are dominated by {gamma}/{alpha}{sub 2} interfaces with relatively few {gamma}/{gamma} twin boundaries. Focus of this study is on how changes in processing parameters or alloy composition affect formation of the UL structure, particularly the {alpha}{sub 2} component.
