Abstract
Effect of thermal stabilization on the microstructure and mechanical property of directionally solidified Ti-46Al-0.5W-0.5Si (mole fraction,% ) alloy was investigated. The specimens were thermal stabilized for different time (t) and directionally solidified at a constant growth rate of 30 μm/s and temperature gradient of 20 K/mm. Dependencies of the primary dendritic spacing (λ 1), secondary dendritic spacing (λ 2), interlamellar spacing (λ L) and microhardness (HV) on holding time were determined. The values of the λ 1, λ 2 and λ L increase with the increase of t, and the value of HV decreases with the increase of t. The increase of t is helpful to obtain a good directional solidification structure. However, it reduces the mechanical property of the directionally solidified TiAl alloy. The optimized value of t is about 30 min.
