Abstract

The phase decomposition of the Al-rich γ TiAl intermetallic compound in the TiAl(L10) and Ti3Al5(P4/mbm) two phases region is investigated experimentally. On the phase decomposition of the Ti-56at%Al alloy, the single precipitate(Ti3Al5) shape is an oblate spheroid at the early stage of precipitation and each particle is aligned along certain direction of the orientation about 20 degrees from [100]. During coarsening, the precipitates encounter each other, then, the shape of the particle becomes the slanted or bended plate. In the case of phase decomposition of the Ti-58at%Al alloy, the tweed-like structure is observed at the beginning of the aging. The precipitates are connected each other during coarsening, finally the microstructure becomes the large layered structure with a zigzag-shaped interface. These microstructure changes are simulated based on the phase field model. The morphology and the time development of the simulated microstructure are in good agreement with the experimental results.
