Abstract

Intermetallics Ti-49Al (at.%) alloy was directionally solidified with different growth rates (V=5μm/s-30μm/s) at a constant temperature gradient (G=12.1K/mm) by using a Bridgman type directional solidification furnace. The primary dendritic spacing (λ), interlamellar spacing (λL), and microhardness (HV) were measured. Effect of V on HV, λ and λL was experimental investigated. The dependencies of λ, λL and HV on the growth rate were determined by using linear regressing analysis. According to the result, the values of λ and λL decrease with the increasing of V, and the values of HV increase with the increasing of V and with the decreasing of λ and λL. The results were compared with previous similar experimental results for TiAl-based alloys.
