Influence of yttrium on microstructure and properties of Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy after heat treatment

The existence of yttrium in Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy and its influence on the microstructure after heat treatment of Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy were investigated using thermal analysis（DTA）, EPMA, XRD and SEM. The heat treatment was determined based on DTA measurements. The compression tests at room temperature were performed on a Instron-569 universal tester. The results show that yttrium exists as the Y2O3 alloy. The addition of Y doesn＇t affect the characteristic phase transformation temperature At lower quenching temperature, Y strengthens the XRD peaks of O phase by improving the decomposition of B2 phase. Yttrium addition enhances the compression properties with the compression strength, yield strength and compression ratio increasing. The strengthening is attributed to the second phase strengthening of Y2O3 particles and the grain refinement.

Effect of deformed microstructure on mechanical properties of Ti-22Al-25Nb alloy

Effect of the deformed microstructure on mechanical properties of an orthorhombic （Ti2klNb） based alloy of Ti-22Al-25Nb （mole fraction, %） has been investigated. It was found that the deformed microstructures in different portions of a flee forged rod with diameter of 30 mm were quite different and thus resulted in the different mechanical properties after the same subsequent heat-treatment. One deformed microstructure with less primary α2/O particles and a larger and equiaxed B2 grains resulted in poor RT ductility, but the other one with a relatively larger amount of the primary α/O particles and non-equiaxed B2 grains had good combination of the tensile strength and ductility both at RT and 650 ℃. It was also found that two different deformed microstructures were obtained for the hot rolling plates with thickness of 3 mm even processed under an identical nominal rolling and the same post-deforming heat treatment conditions. One only has 3.5% of RT tensile elongation and the other up to 8%.
