Interfacial Phase in Ti-5Al-2Mo-3Zr Alloy

Under appropriate cooling condition, intcrfacial phase appeared between α and β phases in Ti-5Al-2M0-3Zr alloy. Its thickness could reach 100 nm. The interfacial phase was either single layer structure or double layer structure. The monolithic layer adjacent to 3 phase was indentified as fee structure with relationship （110）_β// （001）_m, [11$mathop 1limits^{{rm{ - - }}} $]_β /[110]_m. The striated layer adjacent to a phase was indentified as hep with twin relationship {10$bar 1$1}<1$bar 0$12> to α. Thus, the study provided a new experimental fact for the controversial topic on structure of striated layer. Chemical composition of interfacial phase varied slightly with heat treatments, but always between that of α and β phases.
