Abstract

Rapidly solidified titanium alloys containing carbon and erbium have been examined microstructurally in the as-quenched and aged conditions. Studies show that cubic erbia forms initially, but prolonged aging results in the formation of trigonal erbia. The formation of this phase is enhanced by the presence of carbon.
