Extract

It is the accepted wisdom that off-stoichiometric TiAl alloys with slightly Aluminum rich compositions, e.g. Ti-52 at.% Al and Ti-54 at.% Al, exist as single phase materials. However, previous studies have reported that Ti3Al5 ordering occurs in Al rich γ-TiAl of compositions 54-63 at.% Al [1,2]. The Ti3Al5 ordering involves the substitution of excess Al into selected Ti sites on the pure Ti plane (001) [1]. In the current work such Ti3Al5 ordering has been observed in TiAl alloys of compositions ranging from Ti-52 at.% Al to Ti-56 at.% Al which have been produced as described in earlier reports [e.g. 3].

Experimental and simulated selected area diffraction patterns (SAD) for the [111] zone axis of TiAl are shown in figure 1. A row of extra reflections which appears between the reflections corresponding to the Ll0 structure are clearly visible in the diffraction patterns obtained from the Ti-54 and 56 at.% Al alloys (Fig. 1b,1c).
