Abstract

Gas nitridation of TiAl based alloys in an ammonia atmosphere was carried out in the present work. The nitride layers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The evaluation of the surface hardness and wear resistance was performed to compare with those of the non-nitrided alloys. It is concluded that the nitride layers are composed of Ti2AlN as the inward-growing layer and TiN as the outward-growing layer. The nitridation temperature and time were two major factors influencing the thickness of the nitride layers of the alloys. The high temperature nitridation raised the surface hardness and the wear resistance of the TiAl based alloys markedly. The tribological behaviors of the nitrided alloys were also discussed.
