A mathematical model of the filling process is established and the forming mechanism of internal gaseous defect is summarized. The results of calculation show that the melt fills the mould with varying cross-section area and inclined angle. The filling speed of the cross-section is a function of filling time. The cross-section area is directly proportional to the filling speed and the inclined angle is inversely proportional to the filling speed at a given rotating speed of the platform. Both of them changes more obvious near the mould entrance. The gaseous defect can be formed in several ways and the centrifugal field has an important influence on the formation of the defect. In addition, the filling process in centrifugal field has been verified by wax experiments and the theoretical analysis are consistent with experimental results.展开更多

By varying extrusion temperature, different microstructures were produced. At an extrusion temperature of 1 400 ℃ (above α transus), a uniform, fully lamellar structure was observed. In contrast, when powders were extruded at 1 150 ℃, an inhomogeneous microstructure consisting of γ,α 2 and metastable β phases was obtained. It was demonstrated that, while alloy extruded at 1 400 ℃ exhibited an excellent creep resistance, alloy with the same composition extruded at 1 150 ℃ exhibited superplasticity. The good creep resistance was resulted from the presence of fine lamellae which restrict dislocation slip within γ grains. These fine lamellae also promote the nucleation of deformation twins which impede dislocation glide along the interfaces ( γ/γ and γ/α 2) and, thus, reduces creep rate. In the case of low temperature extrusion, an elongation value of over 300% was obtained at a strain rate of 2×10 -5 s -1 and at a temperature as low as 800 ℃, which is close to the ductile to brittle transition temperature. This is in contrast to the prior major observations of superplastic behaviors in TiAl in which typical temperatures of 1 000 ℃ have usually been required for superplasticity. It was proposed that the occurrence of superplasticity at 800 ℃ is caused by the presence of a B2 phase which, during superplastic deformation (grain boundary sliding), accommodates sliding strains to reduce the propensity for cavitation at grain triple junctions and, thus, delays the fracture process.展开更多

The deformation and fracture of samples after tensile and compressive tests were examined in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The in situ tensile testing was further carried out in a SEM and the crack growth path of samples was observed. The result shows that there is a remarkable effect of lamellar structure of CSD TiAl alloy on its deformation and fracture process. Especially, the main crack extension is dependent on the lamellar direction relative to tensile loading axis. SEM observations indicate that there is a shielding toughening effect of lamellar structure on fracture in CSD samples, such as, crack deflection, crack path tortuousity, and crack branching, etc. Moreover, the crack growth path shows that the main crack grows tortuously and uncontinuously by ligaments bridging many microcracks in front of crack tip. The effect mechanism of microstructure on deformation and fracture process is discussed.[展开更多

Existence of x-x+y transformation in TiAl alloys is confirmed by metallographic examination, the transformation temperatures of Ti5()Al48 Mn2 and Ti50Al48Cr2 are 1375 and 1373 C , respectively. After treating within x+y phase field, the microstructure of alloys consists of lamellar zones (I) and bulk rp. The volume ratio of L /rp increases with increasing solution treatment temperature. The third alloying elements of Mn and Cr distribute perferentially over x phase at solution treatment temperatures and result in that x2 and r lamellae become thicker. The yield strength of Ti50Al48Mn2 and Ti50Al48Cr2 alloys decreases and the compressibility increases with increasing rp volume fraction.展开更多
