TiAl基合金在快速加热循环热处理过程中的结构失稳

观察了快速加热循环热处理过程中发生的4种结构失稳现象：形成二次层片组织、原始层片球化、晶界处非连续粗化、相界形核。通过比较连续加热与等温加热条件下的相转变开始线，探讨了连续加热与等温加热条件下结构失稳机制的异同。提出了快速加热循环热处理过程中避免结构失稳的途径：确保合金成分均匀，使各区域相变温度一致；使最高温度下的保温时间尽可能短。

TiAl 合金中的γ→α析出转变行为

研究了Ti-48Al和Ti-48Al—0．8B合金中的γ→α析出转变，分析了α析出相的生长形态、晶体学特征、生长动力学及α／γ相界面结构。结果显示α相从γ相中析出有两种方式：一种是从γ晶粒内沿{111}，晶面以片状形貌析出，且α相与γ基体保持共格位向关系；另一种则是在γ晶界上通过不连续析出转变，以不规则的块状形貌析出，并向着晶界一侧与之无位向关系的γ晶粒内生长。添加0．8％(摩尔分数)B能显著降低γ晶粒内片状α析出相的形核率，并抑制α相生长。HREM分析表明：片状α相是在γ相的堆垛层错上形核，并通过“台阶-凸起-扭折”机制生长；α／γ相界面上复杂层错的存在及台阶形核率低是片状α相沿厚度方向生长缓慢的主要原因。     

Thermal activation approaches to deformation mechanisms for high Nb containing TiAl base alloys

The deformation mechanisms in a wide temperature rnage from room temperature to 1200K were investigated by thermal activation approach.Using observed instantaneous stress response to the strain rate jump (Δσtr),the activation volume Vs,then the activation enthalpy ΔH,activation free enthalpy ΔG and activation entropy ΔS were calculated.The apparent activation energy of high temperature deformation is estimated to be 3.66eV,which is larger than the self-diffusion coefficient of binary TiAl(3.01eV).The dislocations at 1173K are generally curved or bowed,even helical-shaped dislocations.The climb of ordinary dislocations as well as twinning has grealty contributed to the plastic deformation.The CRSS at 1173K is estimated to be 180MPa.The higher resisting stress at both room temperature and elevated temperature might relate to the high Nb content of the alloy.     

Nanoscale Studies of the Early Stages of Oxidation of a TiAl-Base Alloy

The strategy to perform nanoscale studies of the initial stages of oxidation of TiAl involved first gaining some information on the electronic structure of pure TiO₂ surfaces and then on TiAl surfaces before and after oxidation both in low- and high-oxygen potentials. Both materials were studied in atomically-cleaned states generated by repeated sputtering and heating. It was found that the oxygen vacancies created additional defect states in the band gap of stoichiometric TiO₂. The results obtained on TiO₂ were used as fingerprints to study the oxide nucleation. The results on the initial stages of oxidation of TiAl confirm the nucleation of Ti₂O₃ islands of nanometer size and monolayer height in a low-oxygen-pressure environment, whilst a TiO₂ layer developed in an atmospheric environment. The ledges on atomically-cleaned surfaces usually acted as nucleation sites.

Filling and solidification of TiAl melt in centrifugal field

A model was established based on the combination of the equation of continuity, the equation of conservation of momentum and the equation of general energy to describe the filling and solidification of TiAl melt by permanent mold centrifugal casting. The model was solved numerically and the filling and solidification processes in the centrifugal field were discussed. The results indicate that the centrifugal field essentially influences the filling and solidification processes of TiAl melt. The melt will first fill the cavity along the back boundary until it reaches the end. After the end is fully filled, the whole cavity will be filled gradually by the way that free surface of the melt moves towards the entrance, hence the entrance is the last part to be filled. Furthermore, the mechanism by which internal defects can be formed in centrifugally cast TiAl components were interpreted.
