Abstract

Special ultrafine fully-lamellar microstructures have been found recently in γ-TiAl alloys with 46–48 at.% Al, when they are processed or heat-treated above the α-transus temperature (Tα). Hot-extrusion above Tα also produces a refined colony or grain size. Refined-colony/ultrafine-lamellar (RC/UL) microstructures produce an excellent combination of room-temperature ductility and high-temperature strength in Ti-47Al-2Cr-2Nb (at.%) alloys. UL structures generally have an average interlamellar spacing of 100–200 nm, and have regularly alternating γ and α2 lamellea, such that they are dominated by γ/α2 interfaces with relatively few γ/γ twin boundaries. The focus of this study is how variations in processing parameters or alloy composition affect formation of the UL structure, particularly the α2 component.
