Abstract

Mechanical alloying and plasma assisted sintering are used to produce nanocrystalline Ti-Al alloys. Microstructural characterization and measurement of mechanical properties are reported. The alloys investigated include AITi+X and Al3Ti+X where X represents either Cr, Mn or Fe. Mechanical alloyed powders have a microstructure, which consist of an amorphous matrix containing small crystalline domains. Sintered specimens have a crystalline microstructure with nano-sized grains. Alloys based on AlTi-X are composed mainly of the phases α 2 (DO19) and γ (Ll0) distributed homogeneously in the form of nanograins (100–300 nm) resembling a globular structure. Al3Ti-X alloys show a cubic ordered phase (L12) with grain sizes ranging from 16 to 40 nm. Vickers hardness measurements of sintered alloys show a considerable increase with respect to as-cast alloys. Compression tests show a high mechanical strength of these alloys, although in the case of A13Ti-X, no ductility is found.
