Abstract

The thermal stability of lamellar microstructure in Ti-Al-Mo PST crystals containing C or Si, was investigated. In addition, the variation of α-phase volume fraction in Ti-Al-Mo-(C,Si) systems was investigated at several temperatures. Ti-46Al-1.5Mo-0.2C and Ti-46Al-1.5Mo-1.0Si alloys were found to be very stable during heat treatments at various heating rates and temperatures. Moreover, the α-phase volume fractions of Ti-46Al-1.5Mo-0.2C and Ti-46Al-1.5Mo-1.0Si alloys, which were stable compositions, changed less than those of Ti-47Al and Ti-46–1.5Mo alloys, which were unstable compositions. From these results, it was determined that the instability of the latter alloys was caused by their relatively higher variation of α-phase volume fraction during heating. Therefore, it is suggested that the variation of α-phase volume fraction is an important factor in controlling the thermal stability of lamellar microstructure.
