Abstract

Ostwald ripening of precipitates in rapidly solidified Ti- 5A1-2Si (wt.%) has been studied by TEM. Results show that particle coarsening at 700 and 800°C is controlled by volume diffusion. Diffusion coefficients of Si in a-Ti were found to be ˜7.5 × 10−13 cm2/sec at 700°C and ˜1.2 × 10−11 cm2 /sec at 800°C.At these temperatures, microstructural refinement due to rapid quenching had no noticeable effect on the coarsening mechanism for the RS Ti-5A1-2Si alloy.
