Abstract
Ti-Fe-Al and Ti-Fe-Mo alloys containing B2 superlattice precipitates within an A2 matrix have attracted interest for structural applications. However, few studies have considered alloys derived from the quaternary Ti-Fe-Mo-Al system. In this work, six Ti-Fe-Mo-Al compositions with 70 at.% Ti have been aged for 1000 h at , , and 1000 °C to assess their equilibrium phases. A2+B2 phase microstructures formed in two of the alloys considered: Ti-20Fe-5Mo-5Al at both and 1000 °C, and Ti-15Fe-10Mo-5Al at 800 °C. A2+B2 microstructures were not observed in the other alloys investigated. At high temperatures, most alloys were single-phase A2, while at lower temperatures A3 and D019 phases were widely observed.
Studying continuous cooling of Ti-20Fe-5Mo-5Al from the solid solution showed a change in precipitation behaviour with cooling rate. Intermediate cooling rates permitted discontinuous B2 precipitation. The slowest cooling rate led to continuous B2 precipitation and the observation of the D8 G-phase. This transition in precipitation mechanism was attributed to the relative rates of bulk and grain boundary diffusion at varying temperatures.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
