Abstract

The changes in micro structure and hardness of massively transformed Ti-48mol%Al alloys with tempering were investigated. The results were correlated to the X-ray profile analysis. The integral width of Cu-kα1 net peak especially from γ (111) plane related well to the hardness change. Hall plots suggested that lattice strains are released by spheroidizing with the recovery at low temperature and then small particles grow at higher temperatures, as might support the microstructural change. The small particle size is therefore presumed to be the controlling factor for the hardness. Macro stress is shown not to affect the hardness as much.
