The microstructure of the heat-treated and exposed alloy was studied using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). It is found that carbides with finer size and more uniform distribution can suppress the formation of α precipitates more effectively, and can especially decrease the amount of grain boundary α precipitates after long-term exposure at 540℃ (the expected application temperature). Thus, significant improvement in thermal stability can be achieved by refining carbide particles in the matrix of the alloy.展开更多

It is found that the amount of α precipitation in samples after solution treatment followed by air cooling increases with increasing solution temperature. After solution treatment, the alloy was subjected to two different heat treatments to stabilize the material. The results show that the single ageing treatment(700 ℃, 4 h, AC) leads to a large amount of α precipitation, while the triplex treatment(850 ℃, 2 h, FC+700 ℃, 6 h, FC+540 ℃, 6 h, AC) significantly suppresses the formation of α precipitates. It is more important that after long term exposure at 540 ℃(the expected application temperature) samples heat treated by the triplex treatment have markedly higher ductility than those given the single aging treatment. The intermetallic compound TiCr 2 is observed in samples after long term exposure, which further degrades the ductility of the alloy.展开更多
