Abstract
The solidification process of Ti-40Al alloy, a representative β-solidifying γ-TiAl-based alloy, is investigated in-situ using high-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy (HTLSCM). During the heating process, Ti-40Al alloy exhibits a complete β phase microstructure; however, peritectic α phase is observed during solidification. The occurrence of peritectic α phase is discussed and attributed to the segregation of Al under certain solidification conditions. This finding is further confirmed in the directional solidification of another β-solidifying γ-TiAl-based alloy, TNM alloy, and it provides valuable guidance for controlling the microstructure of β-solidifying γ-TiAl-based alloys.
